L1 Visa for Intracompany Transferee Executives or Managers

L1(a) visas allow a manager or executive of a foreign company to work in the United States.
The foreign company must have employed the L1A visa holder in an executive or managerial capacity continuously at least one year out of the past three years in the foreign country.
The maximum length of the L1A visa is seven years. The government grants the initial L1A visa for one year and then renews it in three year increments if a manager is starting up a new company. If the company already exists, the government will grant the initial visa up to three years.
The L1A visa is flexible. The holder may travel back and forth between his or her home country and the United States. Unlike other types of visas, the holder is not required to live in the United States.
The L1 visa holder’s spouse and children under 21 may also accompany the visa holder. The children may attend school, and the spouse may work.
The L1A holder can apply for an EB1C green card after running the business for one year. The spouse and children can also get green cards.

L1 Visa for Intracompany Transferees Requiring Specialized Knowledge

L1B visas allow professional employees with specialized knowledge to work in the U.S.
The government issues the L1B visa for a maximum of five years. Usually, the initial L1B visa is issued for one to two years, and the extensions are issued in two year increments.
The L1 visa holder’s spouse and children may accompany the visa holder to the U.S. The children can attend public school, and the spouse can work.
The L1B visa is flexible. The holder may travel back and forth between his or her home country and the United States.
If the L1B visa holder wishes to apply for a green card, he or she may apply for an EB2 or EB3 green card. This process requires labor certification.

Blanket L Visas

The “L1 Blanket Petition Program” allows large multi-national companies to transfer several employees at the same time.
The initial blanket L petition is good for 3 years. The petitioner can file for an extension up to seven years. The L1A or B employee can then get initial entry for up to 3 years.
A company can file a blanket petition to bring in several employees at one time rather than individual employees one at a time. The employees must be L1A executives or managers or L1B specialized employees.

In addition, the company must meet one of the following three conditions:

Work Visa Options in the United States

Carl Rothrock is a U.S. business immigration attorney who has successfully helped people navigate various work visa options in the United States. He has offices throughout Florida, including Naples, Fort Myers, Miami, and Boca Raton. He has filed thousands of cases, including EB1, EB2, NIW, EB3, H1B, L, and TN applications. In addition to being a licensed attorney, Carl is also a licensed Florida Building Contractor and has developed several real estate developments throughout Florida. As a small business owner, he understands the frustrations of the small business owner. Good workers are hard to find, and they are harder to keep. Many foreigners want to achieve the American dream and will work hard to prove themselves. They bring with them richness and culture of their countries and are eager to please their employer if given a chance.

Permanent Work Visa Options in the United States

An employer may sponsor an employee for a permanent job. The permanent residence card is also known as a “green card.” If the petition is approved, the employee’s spouse and children under 21 may also receive green cards. There are three primary categories of business visas. The first is the “EB1,” visa. The second is the “EB2” visa. The third is the “EB3” visa. The government limits the number of visas each year in each category by country of citizenship as well as type of visa. Some of these categories require the applicant to have a job offer while others do not. Visit our pages for these visas to learn more.

Temporary Work Visa Options in the United States

In addition to sponsoring an employee for permanent residence, an employer may sponsor an employee to work for a temporary duration. Most categories require the employee to hold a professional degree, license, or high level of skill. Common types of temporary visas are the TN Visa, the E1 and E2 treaty visas, the L visa, the O visa, the P visa, and the H1B visa. The employee’s spouse and children under 21 may accompany the employee to the United States. Many foreigners enter the US. under the temporary work visa until they can locate an employer who will sponsor them for permanent employment. The Rothrock Law Firm has counseled many clients to achieve this goal.

Work Visas for Unskilled Laborers

The U.S. government allots a very small percentage of permanent work visas for people who have unskilled labor. If people who work unskilled jobs wish to gain permanent residents in the United States, they often enter the United States to work temporarily. Eventually, they meet and marry a U.S. citizen. Once they marry a citizen, they obtain a green card through marriage. The H2B program and the J1 Exchange program allow unskilled workers to find temporary work in the United States. At this time, it is very difficult to find permanent employment in the U.S. through a work visa for unskilled workers.
