The L-1 Visa allows international companies to transfer executives, managers, or employees with specialized knowledge to a U.S. branch, affiliate, or subsidiary. It's a key tool for multinational companies expanding into the U.S. market.
-
Employees of foreign companies who have worked for the company for at least one year in an executive, managerial, or specialized knowledge role may be eligible for transfer under the L-1 Visa.
-
L-1A visas (for executives and managers) can last for up to 7 years, while L-1B visas (for specialized knowledge employees) last for up to 5 years. Extensions are possible if the visa holder remains qualified.
