Are you an ambitious entrepreneur, a thriving business owner seeking to expand your enterprise into the United States, or a multinational looking to transfer internal talents to your subsidiary in the United States?
Then the L-1 visa program of the US Citizenship and Immigration Service is for you.
The L-1 visa simplifies moving essential staff from overseas offices to U.S. branches, opening doors to the expansive opportunities of the American market.
What is the L-1 Visa?
The L-1 visa enables companies to transfer executives, managers, and specialized employees to their U.S. offices or open a new office in the U.S.
Key benefits include:
Facilitated Entry – A streamlined process for transferring key personnel.
Duration – Qualified employees entering the US to establish a new office can stay for up to one year initially, and the others for up to three years the first time they apply for extensions
Family Accompaniment – Eligible family members can accompany the visa holder with a L-2 visa.
Future US US Permanent Residency – It’s possible to pursue a Green Card while on the L-1 visa.
Application Process:
File Form I-129: The employer files an I-129 petition on behalf of the employee.
Blanket Petitions: Companies that meet specific criteria can file a blanket petition for L-1 visas, allowing them to establish intra-company relationships in advance. Approval of a blanket petition does not guarantee individual L-1classification but offers flexibility for quick transfers of eligible employees to the US.
The L-1 visa program offers a strategic pathway for multinational companies to expand their operations into the United States by transferring key personnel, while also providing an avenue for companies seeking to establish a presence in the US
