L Visa Intracompany Transferees (L-1A and L-1B)
The L-1A Non-Immigrant Classification enables a multi-national company to transfer an executive or manager from one of its affiliated foreign offices to one of its offices in the United States. The L-1B Non-Immigrant Classification enables a multi-national company to transfer a professional employee with specialized knowledge relating to the organization’s interests from one of its affiliated foreign offices to one of its offices in the United States.
L-1 (both A and B Classifications) also allows foreign employers to send an employee to the United States to establish a new office in the United States.
Blanket Petition: The regulation also allows for blanket L petitions for certain organizations that fulfill the criteria set by the USCIS. Blanket Petitions provide established businesses in the US with the flexibility to transfer their eligible employees in foreign offices to the US with short notice without filing an individual petition with the USCIS.
Even though L-1 is a temporary visa, the beneficiaries often are eligible for Permanent Residency through Employment-Based petitions.
