The L-1A visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign executives and managers to be transferred to a branch, subsidiary, affiliate, or parent company of their organization located in the United States. It also allows foreign companies to establish a new office in the U.S. by transferring a senior executive to lead operations.
The L-1A visa enables international companies to expand their operations in the U.S. by legally relocating key executives and managers. It is ideal for those who wish to open a U.S. office, manage an existing one, or establish a commercial presence in the country with legal backing.
To qualify for an L-1A or L-1B visa, you must have worked for at least one continuous year within the last three years prior to submitting the application or moving to the United States, at a foreign company with a direct relationship (parent, affiliate, branch, or subsidiary) to the U.S. company.
Yes. The L-1A visa allows foreign companies to send an executive or manager to open a new office or branch in the United States. You must demonstrate that the company has the financial capacity, a genuine expansion plan, and that the applicant will occupy a managerial position from the start.
