From L1 visa to Greencard as New Grad from Europe

Hi, I'm from Germany and it's my dream to live in the US (and therefore, to get a green card).

I'm currently finishing my Bachelor's in Germany, and I have recently received a full-time offer at a large US Software Company in London. They promised that after one year, they will support me to get an L1 visa and re-locate to an office in the US.

Now I'm wondering how realistic it is to receive a Green Card while I'm on the L1.

- is there any minimum amount of years of work experience you need in order to start the green card process, or can the company start this right when I receive the L1 (even though I come straight out of college)?

- how long does it normally take as a German to get a Greencard? is it very realistic to obtain one, or is there a lot of uncertainty involved?

- as I also know that the H1B visa is a common work visa, I wanted to ask if there is any difference in terms of how easy it is to switch to a Green Card from these 2 visas?

I would be very thankful if someone could share his or her experiences! I did a lot of online research, but if feels hard to get an exact overview of all the regulations.

If the above path to a green card via L1 has a lot of uncertainty involved, I would also consider doing a Master's degree in the US after which it would be easy to get CPT/OPT, then H1B and GC. However, as the tuition fees for a Master's are super high, I would prefer the L1 route -- but it really depends on the chance of success

Again, thank you for every help/comment :)

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
