L-1 Visa (Intracompany Transferee) Bringing Leadership and Expertise Across Borders

Your company needs you in the U.S. Let's make that transfer happen.

Multinational companies grow by moving their best people to where they are needed most. The
L-1 visa is designed for executives, managers, and specialized knowledge employees who are
transferring from a related foreign company to a U.S. affiliate, subsidiary, or parent. Whether
your company already has a U.S. presence or you are transferring to establish a new U.S. office,
the L-1 provides a streamlined path for intracompany transfers at the highest professional levels.


At NeoVita Law Group, we work with both companies and individual transferees to build L-1
petitions that clearly establish the qualifying relationship between entities and the nature of the employee’s role. We understand what it takes to satisfy adjudicators, and we prepare each case
with the care and documentation it deserves.

Why Choose NeoVita:
We handle both blanket L-1 petitions and individual L-1A and L-1B filings. We thoroughly
document corporate structures and qualifying employment relationships. We advise on new
office L-1s and the unique requirements they carry.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between L-1A and L-1B?

L-1A is for executives and managers. L-1B is for employees with specialized knowledge of the company’s products, services, or procedures.

How long must I have worked for the company before applying?

You must have worked for the related foreign entity for at least one continuous year within the three years preceding your application.

Can I use the L-1 to open a new U.S. office?

Yes. The L-1 new office category allows companies to establish a U.S. presence, though initial
approval is limited to one year.

Does the L-1 lead to a green card?

L-1A holders may have a streamlined path to an EB-1C green card. L-1B holders may pursue
other employment-based green card options.

Can my family come with me?

Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 may apply for L-2 status, and your spouse is
eligible to apply for work authorization.
