L-1 Intra-Company Transferee Visas: Expanding Your Global Footprint
In an increasingly interconnected global economy, the ability to mobilize your most valuable human capital is essential to competitiveness. At Revital Shavit Immigration Law, we provide legal counsel to multinational organizations seeking to transfer executive, managerial, and specialized knowledge personnel to the United States.
Whether you are an established conglomerate or a foreign startup launching your first U.S. office, we navigate the complexities of the L-1 visa category to ensure your leadership is where it needs to be.
Strategic Solutions for Multinational Growth
The L-1 visa is a powerful tool for corporate expansion, offering a pathway for key employees to oversee U.S. operations. We focus on the two primary sub-categories:
L-1A: Executives and Managers. Designed for individuals who direct the management of the organization or a major component/function of the company. This category also offers a streamlined path to permanent residency via the EB-1C immigrant visa.
L-1B: Specialized Knowledge Personnel. Reserved for employees with distinct knowledge of the company's products, services, research, equipment, or proprietary techniques and their application in international markets.

Why Revital Shavit Immigration Law?
The L-1 visa category is under intense scrutiny by USCIS. "Specialized knowledge" is narrowly defined, and the applicant's "Managerial" capacity must be demonstrated through a detailed analysis of the organizational hierarchy.
We review your organizational charts and job descriptions to ensure they meet the stringent legal definitions required for a successful adjudication.
The Process: From Global to Local
Organizational Assessment: We verify the qualifying relationship between the foreign and U.S. entities.
Candidate Evaluation: We determine if the transferee's role meets the L-1A or L-1B criteria.
Meticulous Documentation: We compile the required comprehensive financial and corporate evidence.
Consular or USCIS Filing: We manage the entire filing process, including premium processing options for expedited results.
