For instance, the L-1 visa is essentially a temporary non-immigrant visa that enables US-based companies to transfer employees from a foreign subsidiary, parent, or affiliate to their offices in the US. In order to be eligible, an employee must have maintained continuous employment with the company abroad on a full-time basis for a minimum of one year over the last three years. The following are the two types of L-1 visas:
L-1A Visa: Designed for employees who serve in an executive or managerial capacity, the L-1A visa can be sought by upper management personnel, departmental directors, and partners. Specifically, they make decisions that involve broad discretion and/or they may supervise the work of others.
L-1B Visa: Generally, the L-1B visa is designed for employees with specialized knowledge of a company’s services, products, or research methodologies and their applicability in international markets. They may also possess in-depth knowledge about the organization’s procedures or processes.
