L Visas - Intra-Company Transfers
Dallas Lawyers Serving Clients Nationwide
Many companies enjoy a global presence through their affiliates in the United States and around the world. As corporations continue to expand, the demand for L visas have increased. Companies with related operational entities in the U.S. can seek to transfer certain employees to these offices under the L visa, which allows foreign national executives, managers, and professionals with specialized knowledge to work in the U.S. Similar to H-1B visa holders, L visa holders benefit from dual intent and have access to premium processing for quicker decisions.
Types of L-Visas:
- L-1A Visa (Intracompany Transfer of Executive or Manager): A U.S. employer can transfer an executive or manager working from a foreign office to an office located in the U.S. If a foreign company does not currently have an affiliate U.S. office, the L-1A visa can also be granted for the purpose of creating an office.
- L-1B Visa (Intracompany Transfer of Employee with Specialized Knowledge): Employees with a specialized knowledge or skillset can be brought to work in the U.S. using the L-1B visa.
Executives and managers can remain in the U.S. for up to 7 years.
Professionals with specialized knowledge are allowed up to 5 years of stay in the U.S.
Requirements for the L-1 Classification
In order to qualify, the employer will need to show that he or she:
- Has a qualifying relationship with the foreign company
- Currently is or will be doing business as an employer in the U.S. and another country
