Migrating is an idea that is on many people’s minds, and in the case of professionals who have managed to build an important work reputation, the opportunity to continue growing is very appealing if an opportunity to expand to North America is presented by their current employer, which is why the L1 visa program is a valuable tool for companies wishing to relocate employees.
This visa is specifically designed for executives, managers and employees with specialized knowledge that is essential for the operation of the company in the country. There are two main types of L1 visas:
One of the main benefits of the L1 visa is that it does not require a labor certification process, like many other employment visas in the United States. This means that companies can more easily relocate their employees without having to prove that there are no U.S. workers available to perform the work.
For an employee to qualify for an L1 visa, he or she must have worked for the foreign company for at least one year in the three years preceding the application and be destined to work in a position, the affiliated company and the foreign company must have a genuine employer-employee relationship and prove that both are related in a qualifying manner.
Applicants have the opportunity to live and work in the United States for an initial period of up to three years, with the possibility of extending it for a maximum of seven years in the case of the L1-A visa and five years in the case of the L1-B visa.
Although it is not a simple process and requires the submission of a complete and accurate application along with the proper documentation, it is very important that companies and employees take proper advice and seek the assistance of qualified immigration attorneys to ensure that they comply with all requirements and procedures in order to obtain the visa and embark on a new beginning.
