Intra Company TransferÂ
The most widely utilized immigration vehicle that companies use is the intra company transferee visa aka “L-1A visa.” The L visa is designed for executives and managers to be seconded to the USA in order to open a “new office” and or maintain an already operating US office, branch, or affiliate.
They had to have been working for the foreign parent, branch, or affiliate for at least 1 out of the past 3 years and they now seek to come to the USA to continue those executive or managerial duties.
This visa is generally renewable for up to 7 years, however, most L visa holders opt to apply for Permanent Residency through the EB-1C Green Card, as the requirements for the EB-1C are largely similar to the L-1A. The L visa holder can bring their spouses and immediate family members to the USA for the duration of their stay.
