L-1A visas are given for managers and executives while L-1Bs are for specialized knowledge personnel. The maximum stay on L1A is 7 years whereas for L1B it is 5 years. Persons on L1A can apply for permanent residence (“Green Card”) under EB-1 category (Priority Workers) where the priority dates are current most of the time (Please check the current Visa Bulletin for priority dates). Also, L-1As do not have to go through the Labor Certification process.
