The Ins and Outs of the L-1 Visa: H1-B’s Lesser Known Relative,
– Carr Maloney P.C.
That Packs Quite A Punch!
After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, and making daily phone calls to USCIS (at this point you have them on speed dial), you finally receive a Notice of Action in the mail to inform you that your H1-B Petition failed to meet the annual cap. You are crushed, but all hope is not gone. Are you an international company with a foreign subsidiary or parent company in the United States? Then, you may have an available alternative in the H1-B’s lesser known cousin – the L-1 visa. The L-1 visa is a temporary non-immigrant visa which allows companies to relocate foreign qualified employees to its U.S. subsidiary or parent company. The L-1 visa is much more flexible and holds several advantages to the H-1B – for example, there is absolutely no limit or cap on the number of L-1 visas that USCIS can issue in any given year, and an L-1 visa is a dual intent visa which gives a qualifying employee the option to apply for a green card.
While the L-1 Visa is an attractive option, there are still several requirements and hurdles that your company needs to meet. To help you better understand the L-1 Visa, Carr Maloney, P.C. is pleased to announce that it will be offering its FREE the Ins and Outs of the L-1 Visa Webinar on Wednesday, September 2, 2015, from 1:00-2:00 p.m. EST. The webinar will be led by Tina Maiolo, Esq., an experienced business immigration attorney and designated referral counsel to the Embassy of Italy in the United States.
The Ins and Outs of the L-1 Visa Webinar will offer general insider tips and guidance for companies on how to strategically file an I-129 Visa and L Supplement with USCIS, including key supporting documentation to ensure automatic L-1 approval for their companies’ employee(s). I hope that you are able to join us for our discussion of the L-1 application process!
