The non immigrant L1 visa facilitates foreign workers being transferred by their employer to enter the United States. Foreign workers may be transferred to the US to manage an entire organization, a division or major function of any related organization.
If you apply for an L1 visa and your petition is approved, you will be transferred to the country and work for that U.S. company related to the one employing you outside of the U.S. Besides, you may travel in and out of the country or stay here continuously up till your L1 status expires. Last but not least, once your visa application is approved, you may avail of L2 visas for accompanying relatives, including your spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age.
To be eligible for this particular visa, the U.S. company to which you are being transferred should be a subsidiary, affiliate, branch or joint venture partner of your current non-U.S. employer. Additionally, you must be employed in the U.S. company as a manager, person with specialized skills and knowledge or executive.
If you wish to check for further visa qualification requirements for foreign workers, schedule a private consultation with Alice Antonovsky, immigration specialist.
I studied engineering in one of the most prestigious universities in Colombia. Unfortunately, finding a job was hard, so my sister who was married to an American told me to come to the US. I enrolled NYU to continue studying and just decided to hire Alice Antonovsky to help me find a suitable option to change my student status. She is very understanding and professional. Great lawyer so far!
When I met Alice Antonovsky, I was looking for a qualified person to help me identify the type of visa I needed to stay in the United States permanently. She evaluated my situation very objectively and let me choose the path that seemed closer to my needs. Today, I am a permanent resident and I thank her deeply.
I started looking for an immigration lawyer after applying for my son's Green Card and getting no answers. Alice helped me evaluate the situation and found out I had not sent some required information by immigration authorities. I then provided what was needed and the issue was quickly resolved. My son is now living with me in New York and I couldn't be happier.
