Who can qualify for an L-1 visa?
Intracompany transferees can include executives, managers, or employees with specialized knowledge. A manager is an employee who manages an essential function of the business within the organization. Employees with specialized knowledge must know about the organization’s product, service, research, equipment, management, or the organization’s processes and procedures and how it relates to the international market. Classifying the employee correctly is important, particularly if the company later wants to sponsor the employee for permanent residence. Experienced immigration attorneys assist companies with structuring these petitions in such a way that will easily transition to permanent resident status.
