Thinking about getting an L-1 visa for US office transfer? Here’s the key rule: 1 year of work abroad!
Who Needs It?
-
L-1A Managers/Executives
-
L-1B Specialized Knowledge Workers
The Rule:
You must be employed with the foreign branch of the US company for at least 1 year within the past 3 years.
Important Points:
-
Brief employment breaks might be okay, but explain them clearly.
-
The foreign work must be managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge related (depending on the L-1 visa category).
-
Too much time spent in the US during that 1 year could hurt your application.
