How do you change the status of a L1 Visa?

I moved to the US last year on a blank L1 non immigrant visa. What is the best way to change the status to immigrant visa to apply for a green card in a few years?

Answer:
You must go through a multi-step process to become an immigrant. In most cases, USCIS must first approve an immigrant petition for you, usually filed by an employer or relative. Then, an immigrant visa number must be available to you, even if you are already in the United States. After that, if you are already in the United States, you may apply to adjust to permanent resident status.

The Application To Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status

Filing Fee : $325.00 plus $70.00 biometrics services fee if you are 14 years of age or older.

Note on Where to File:
For Individuals Living in the Jurisdiction of the:
Dallas District Office
El Paso District Office
Oklahoma City Sub Office

Family-Based Applications
If you are filing for lawful permanent resident status based on a family relationship with a U.S. Citizen or lawful permanent
resident, file your I-485 at:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
P.O. Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120

Employment-Based Applications
If you are filing for lawful permanent resident status based on an offer of permanent employment in the United States, you should
submit your I-485 to:

USCIS Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87485
Lincoln, NE 68501-7485

This includes an employment-based I-485 if you are filing a Form I-140, Petition for Alien Worker, concurrently with your I-485, or an I-485 filing basedon a pending or an approved Form I-140.
My understanding is that this visa is good while you work for the company and I do not believe it can be adjusted to permenant status. You may want to check to have it transfered by your company to either an EB1 or EB2 if you have an advanced degree, Or if you have a bachelor's degree or equivelent you can be transfered perhaps to EB-3, but I believe that they have to attempt to find an American citizen alternative before they can put you in such a status. You need to consult with an attorney or immigration at customer service first and see if there are any adjustments you can make but there are none that I am aware of.
