L1 Intracompany Transfer Visa

 

If you are trying to expand your business operations to the U.S., then the L1 visa may be the right solution for you. At Heckler Law Group, we are experienced in helping businesses  navigate the complexities of the U.S. immigration system.

 

What Is an L1 Visa?

An L1 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows multinational companies to transfer certain employees from their foreign offices to their U.S. offices. This visa category is designed to facilitate the temporary transfer of key personnel to the U.S., allowing companies to expand their operations and take advantage of new market opportunities.

 

Types of L1 Visas

There are two types of L1 visas: L1A visas and L1B visas. L1A visas are for executives and managers, while L1B visas are for employees with specialized knowledge. Both visa types are initially issued for up to three years, with the possibility of extension.

 

L1 Visa Requirements

To qualify for an L1 visa, the employee must have worked for the foreign company for at least one year out of the last three years. Additionally, the employee must be coming to the U.S. to work in a managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge capacity.

 

Benefits of an L1 Visa

This type of visa offers a number of benefits for businesses, including:

 

• The ability to transfer key personnel to the U.S. quickly and easily
• The opportunity to expand operations in the U.S. market
• The ability to establish a new office in the U.S.
• The opportunity to train U.S. workers on the company’s products or services
• The ability to bring family members to the U.S.
