L-1 Visas
This is the most common visa sought in intracompany transferee situations. The L-1 visa enables foreign companies to transfer executives and managers and/or technical personnel with specialized knowledge to work at one of its U.S. affiliate, parent or subsidiary entities on a temporary work basis. The employee can seek permanent status at a later time.
In order to be eligible, the employee must have worked for the company abroad for one continuous year out of the preceding three years. Further, in order to be eligible for the L-1 category, the employee must be offered a position in the U.S. as either a "Manager," "Executive" (referred to as an L1-A), or a person with "Specialized Knowledge" (referred to as an L1-B). Demonstrating that the offered, U.S. position and the prior, foreign position fit within these categories is vital to the success of the L-1 petition.
