Intracompany Transferee

The L-1 visa allows multinational companies to transfer executives, managers (L-1A), or specialized-knowledge employees (L-1B) from a qualifying foreign office to a U.S. parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or branch — including new-office setups.

Who it's for

  • Executives and managers relocating to a U.S. entity
  • Specialized-knowledge employees supporting U.S. operations
  • Companies opening or expanding a U.S. office

Requirements

  • Qualifying corporate relationship between foreign and U.S. entities
  • One year of continuous employment abroad in the last three years
  • Role qualifying as executive, managerial, or specialized-knowledge
  • Business viability of the U.S. entity (especially for new offices)

How we support you

  • Corporate structure and role review
  • Supporting evidence and business plan (for new-office L-1)
  • Petition letter and Form I-129 preparation
  • Filing-ready package delivery
