Skilled L-1 Visa Attorneys For US Employee Transfers

What Is An L-1 VIsa?

An L-1 Visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows companies to transfer employees from foreign offices to US locations. This can pave the way for intra-company transfers, facilitating the smooth functioning of international businesses while also providing skilled individuals with the opportunity to work in the US for a specific period of time.

Understanding The L-1 Application Process

The L-1 visa application process typically includes forms such as Form I-129 and other supporting documents such as job descriptions, evidence of the foreign entity’s relationship with the US company, and proof of the employee’s qualifications. There may also be the need for the applicant to submit a letter from their employer outlining the purpose of their transfer and their intended activities in the US.

How Long Can You Stay On An L-1 Visa?

The duration of stay for an L-1 visa depends on the classification of the employer. L-1A visa holders (executives and managers) can stay for up to three years, with the possibility of extending up to seven years. L-1B visa holders (those with specialized knowledge) can also stay up to three years, with the possibility of extending up to five years.

US Immigration FAQS:

A: The green card timeline in the US varies based on factors such as application type and USCIS processing times. Family-based applications (reliant upon sponsorship by a US citizen or permanent resident) can take anywhere from several months to years due to individual circumstances.

Similarly, the processing time for employment-based green cards may vary depending on job type, employer sponsorship, and application location. Immigration proceedings can span months or even years and are influenced by a multitude of factors. For this reason, it is essential to stay informed on your situation and seek professional assistance. 

A: Individuals who are in the process of adjusting their status to secure a green card in the United States can typically travel internationally, but they must obtain advance parole before leaving the country. Failure to travel with advance parole may lead to the abandonment of the application altogether. For this reason, it is crucial to apply for and receive advance parole before leaving the US to avoid complications with the green card application process.

A: The difficulty of getting an employment visa in the US varies based on visa type, job demand, and individual qualifications. The process usually involves sponsorship by a US employer, meeting specific requirements, and providing extensive documentation.

Competition and annual visa quotas can also affect the process. Navigating the laws and policies associated with getting a visa is often complicated and should be done with the oversight of a legal professional.
