L-1 TRANSFEREES

(1) If you or an employee have been employed by your company overseas for a period of at least one year within the last three years, and your company has a subsidiary, affiliate, or branch in the United States, you may be eligible to obtain for an L-1 Nonimmigrant Visa if:

(A) you or your employee have been employed in an executive capacity;

(B) you or your employee have been employed in a managerial capacity (including functional managers); or

(C) you or your employee have been employed in a position which involves "specialized knowledge" of your company's product, service, research, equipment, techniques, or management, or an advanced level of knowledge or expertise in your company's processes and procedures.

(2) An immigrant Visa may also be available based on some of the above criteria. If you or your employee already hold an L-1 Nonimmigrant Visa in the United States, or you or your employee are overseas and do not wish to move to the United States immediately, you may be eligible to begin the process to apply for a "Green Card".

If you think that you or your employee might qualify for an L-1 Petition, and you would like me to provide you with assistance, please contact me via the questionaire provided here. If you do not think that you or your employee qualifies for this particular benefit, please return to the Business Services link found in the main menu to see if another visa category may be applicable to your case.
