L1A Work Visa - Intracompany Transfer

Are you a foreign employer looking to send your employee to the U.S.?

L-1A visa classification applies to intracompany transferees who, within the three preceding years, have been employed abroad continuously for at least one year, and who will be employed by a branch, parent, affiliate, or subsidiary of that same employer in the U.S. in a managerial or executive capacity.  

The L-1A visa classification is ideal for any U.S. employer wanting to bring their foreign executives and senior level management to the U.S. to work with their company.  There are no annual limits to the number of L-1 visas issued, no minimum education requirements, and allows for dual intent, meaning the Visa Applicant can have L-1A status and be seeking a green card at the same time. 

The L-1 classification is generally granted for 3 years at a time with a maximum duration of 7 years for any extension requests.

Dependent family members, including spouses and any children under 21 may accompany the L-1A visa holder to the U.S. in L2 status.  The L2 spouse is permitted to work in the U.S.

We recommend beginning the L-1A  petition quickly, as government processing times and visa appointment wait times can be unpredictable.

The foreign national employee must have been employed with the organization outside of the U.S. for at least one continuous year in the preceding three years and must have worked as an Executive or Senior Manager overseas, who will be coming to the U.S. to work in a Senior Managerial or Executive capacity.
