What Our Clients Say

What Is an L-1 Visa?

The L-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to transfer employees from a foreign office to a U.S. office. It also provides a path for foreign companies to open a new office in the United States, offering a strategic option for international expansion.

There are two main types of L-1 visas:

  • L-1A: For executives and managers
  • L-1B: For employees with specialized knowledge

Both visa types allow eligible employees to live and work in the U.S., often with their spouse and children, and they can also be a stepping stone toward permanent residency (green card).

Who Qualifies for an L-1 Visa?

To qualify for an L-1 visa, several key criteria must be met:

  • The employee must have worked for a related foreign company (such as a parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or branch) for at least one continuous year within the last three years.
  • The employer must have a qualifying relationship with a U.S. company or be in the process of establishing a new U.S. office.
  • The employee must be coming to the U.S. to work in an executive, managerial, or specialized knowledge capacity.

For start-ups or businesses establishing new operations in the U.S., additional documentation is required to prove the viability of the new office.

How can I immigrate to the United States?

Immigration to the U.S. can be achieved through various pathways, such as family-sponsored visas, employment-based visas, refugee or asylum status, or the diversity visa lottery program. Consulting with an immigration professional can help determine the most suitable option for your situation.

How long does the immigration process take?

The processing time varies depending on the type of visa or immigration category. It can range from a few months to several years. Timelines are affected by factors such as visa category, country of origin, and government processing times.
