Immigration Attorney Serving Washington D.C., Rockville, Bethesda, and Silver Spring
L1 visas are non-immigrant visas for temporary stays that permit businesses to transfer qualified foreign employees to their U.S. branches or parent companies as intracompany transferees. These employees can serve in an executive or managerial role (L1A) or offer specialized knowledge (L1B).
Requirements for an L1 Visa
To acquire an L1 visa, specific criteria must be met, including that the U.S. company must be a parent, sister, or subsidiary of the foreign entity.
The petition must be submitted with the following documents:
- Proof of an eligible relationship between the U.S. employer and the foreign employer.
- A statement from the qualifying employer of the foreign worker, outlining their work history and qualifications.
- A detailed outline of the job responsibilities and necessary qualifications, along with proof that the role demands specialized expertise or functions in a managerial or executive role.
The specific requirements for the petition also depend on its purpose, such as whether it is for specialized knowledge or an executive/managerial role. Companies that frequently submit L petitions might benefit from consulting with an immigration attorney at the Patel Law Group. Such consultations can help them explore the advantages of filing a blanket L petition, which can streamline and facilitate the ongoing approval process for their employees.
