Part 2 – Intra-Company Transfer L-1A and L-1B Visas Editorial:
Now that you have a basic idea of the need the L-1A and L-1B visas are designed to meet, the next step is to determine whether the employee and the company looking to transfer the employee are eligible to qualify for this visa. It is important to read through these requirements carefully; once you have done so, we hope you are encourage to call us for a more detailed discussion and evaluation of this visa option.
Part 2 – Intra-Company Transfer L-1A and L-1B Visas Commentary:
Section 214(2) (c) Immigration and Nationality Act
“… An alien who, within three years preceding the time of his application for admission into the US, has been employed continuously for one year by a firm or corporation or other legal entity or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof [the petitioning company] and who seeks to enter the US temporarily in order to continue to render his services to the same employer or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof in a capacity that is managerial, executive, or involves specialized knowledge, and the alien spouse and minor children of any such alien if accompanying him or following to join him.”
In plain English here are the elements of qualification: –
1: An intra-company transferee can be a manager, executive, specialist or one with specialized knowledge.
2: He/she must have worked for the foreign company for at least one continuous year within the last three years. Thus, the manager, executive or specialist could have left the employment of the company and have come back. As long as, within the last three years one of those years was an as employee of the company, then he/she would qualify.
3: The citation above does not state that during the qualifying year of employment, the alien must have worked in a managerial, executive or specialist position, only that he/she had been an employee of the company during the qualifying period.
4: Spouse and minor children can also obtain visas to accompany the transferee.
The terms ‘manager, executive and someone with specialized knowledge’, have particular legal definitions, so it’s important that we review each of these terms in detail. In the next presentation, we’ll focus on how US Immigration defines the ‘manager’ within a company.
