Streamline Your Workforce with L-1 Visas: A Guide for Employers

Looking to bring top talent from your global team to the US? Consider the L-1 visa, specifically designed for intracompany transferees. Here's your step-by-step guide:

1. Does Your Employee Qualify?

  • Your company must have offices in both the US and another country.

  • Your employee must be a manager/executive (L-1A) or possess specialized knowledge (L-1B).

2. Time to File!

  • You, as the employer, file Form I-129 with USCIS on behalf of your employee.

3. Gather Your Proof:

  • Show evidence of your company's structure, the employee's qualifications, and the US job details.

4. Approval & Visa Application:

  • Upon USCIS approval, your employee applies for the L-1 visa at their home country embassy/consulate.

5. Choose Your Path:

  • If your employee is already in the US, they can apply for a change of status. Otherwise, it's consular processing.

6. Visa in Hand!:

  • Approved? Your employee receives an L-1 visa and can start working in the US.

7. Work Duration:

  • L-1A visas allow up to 7 years, and L-1B visas allow up to 5 years of US employment.
