L1A / L1B Visa

L-1A and L-1B Visas (Intra-Company Transfer)

The L-1 visa allows employees of multinational companies to transfer to the U.S. to work in related offices.

L-1A Visa:

  • Eligibility: Must have worked for the company abroad for at least 1 year in the last 3 years in a managerial or executive capacity.
  • Duration: Valid for up to 7 years for executives or managers.

L-1B Visa:

  • Eligibility: Must have worked for the company abroad for at least 1 year in the last 3 years and possess specialized knowledge related to the company’s business.
  • Duration: Valid for up to 5 years for employees with specialized knowledge.

Process for Both L-1A and L-1B:

  1. Employer Petition: The employer files Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, to initiate the L-1 visa process.
  2. Approval & Duration: If approved, the L-1 visa is granted based on the category (L-1A or L-1B) and duration limits.
  3. Family: Spouses and children under 21 can join on L-2 visas.

Notes: 

  • L-2 Visa: L-1 visa holders can bring their spouse and children on L-2 visas.
  • Green Card Eligibility: L-1A holders may be eligible for a green card if their employer sponsors them.
