What is an L1 visa for intra-company transfers?
The L1 visa is a work visa. It is tailored for small to medium business owners wanting to transfer an employee to the United States, within the same company. This will allow said employee to work in the USA to fill a business need.
Your employee must meet a plethora of criteria in order to be elligible for a L1 visa:
- The employee must have management or executive functions
- This critieria grants the L1A work permit.
- The employee must have specialized knowledge of the business in order to be elligible for that permit.
- This critieria grants the L1B work permit.
- The employee must have at least one full year of full-time continuous service within the company before being transferred to the United States.
- The American company to which the employee is being transferred to must either be:
- Head office of your business,
- The subsidiary of your business,
- The sister company of your business,
- An office linked to your American business,
- A joint venture of the foreign company.
The L1A and L1B visas have varied length:
- One year for a new company;
- New American subsidiary of your business for example.
- Three years for an already existing business.
