Alcorn Immigration Law provides immigration legal services to companies, employees, investors, founders, and others seeking visas and green cards. L-1 visas are for employees transferring to the U.S. to work in an office related to a foreign company where they have previously been working.
If employees are coming to run, manage or set up a U.S. office or unit, they could qualify for an L-1A Visa for Intracompany Transferee Managers and Executives.
If they’re coming because they possess unique knowledge of a company’s procedures, products, or other important information, they could qualify for an L-1B Visa for Intracompany Transferee Specialized Knowledge Workers.
Spouses and children can come, too, under both L-1A and L-1B visas.
If you are an employer who frequently petitions to transfer employees from your multinational offices to the U.S. as managers, executives, or individuals with specialized knowledge, you might consider a Blanket L petition. A Blanket L petition is a group petition for your employees to apply directly for their L-1 visas at consulates without first waiting for USCIS to approve an individual L petition approved. It is initially valid for 3 years but later may be valid indefinitely.
