The L-1 visa is an intracompany transferee visa for employees being relocated to the United States from a foreign affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company. There are two categories: L-1A for managers and executives, and L-1B for workers with specialized knowledge.
The L-1A visa is particularly powerful because it offers a direct pathway to the EB-1C green card for multinational managers — often with priority date advantages compared to other employment-based green card categories.
Our attorneys specialize in L-1 petitions and EB-1C green card pathways for multinational executives and managers.
