Seamlessly Relocate
Key Employees to the U.S.

​The L-1 visa category allows multinational companies to transfer executives, managers, and specialized knowledge employees from their foreign offices to their U.S. branches or affiliates.

 

If your company is looking to expand its operations in the United States, the L-1 visa can provide a streamlined pathway for bringing essential personnel to the U.S.  

L-1A vs. L-1B
Understanding the Key Differences

L-1A Visa (Managers and Executives):

  • For employees who hold a managerial or executive position within the company.

  • Managerial capacity involves overseeing the organization, department, subdivision, function, or component of the company.

  • Executive capacity involves directing the management of the organization or a major component or function of the organization.

  • Initial stay of up to 3 years, with possible extensions up to a maximum of 7 years.

L-1B Visa (Specialized Knowledge Employees):

 

  • For employees with specialized knowledge of the company's products, services, research, equipment, techniques, management, or other interests.  

  • This knowledge must be advanced and proprietary to the company.

  • Initial stay of up to 3 years, with possible extensions up to a maximum of 5 years.
