What is L1 visa and how does it work? Let's find out together.

In 1970, with the aim of creating more jobs for Americans, attracting and calling for foreign investment, seeking talent and skilled executives to the United States to help strengthen the economic and commercial power in the country, the US government issued a visa known as L1 visa.

What is L1 visa?

The L1 visa is a non-immigrant visa type for foreign business owners who want to invest or expand their market or branch in the United States. When granted this visa, you will have the right to live and work legally in the United States. The L1 visa usually has a maximum duration of 7 years, and after 2 years, you can apply for a green card for your entire family. Additionally, your children under 21 years old can attend school for free until university. You also have the right to buy houses or real estate in the United States, get a driver's license, receive social security numbers, and obtain other necessary documents for you and your family.

Why choose the L1 visa?

Recently, EB5 investment programs have increased the investment amount and slowed down the processing time for applications. As of now, applicants must wait at least over 2.5 years for a new I-526 form to be approved. According to information from the U.S. Immigration Office, as of October 2018, there were over 25,000 I-526 forms that have not been processed yet and the EB3 labor visa program has also been extended. That is also one of the reasons why the L1 visa has received much attention and is preferred more. In addition, this L1 visa type has many other favorable conditions such as: you can directly manage your own investment capital without having to prove the source of investment funds; your family can live and enjoy benefits in the United States. Moreover, the waiting time is very fast, only within 3 to 5 months the visa will be issued. The rules of this visa do not require you to be in the United States full-time, you can travel to your country. And if your business has been operating for more than 3 years, you can apply for executive positions within the company on condition that they demonstrate their management and management capabilities.

There are 2 types of L1 visa:

• L-1A visa for executives or managers of the company
• L-1B visa for employees with specialized knowledge

What are the requirements?

You must have a business in your home country, which has been operating for at least 1 year. Then you can either purchase a commercial enterprise in the United States or open a branch office in the United States. You can transfer a manager or executive of the company to the United States to manage the branch office there. You need to demonstrate a close connection between the two entities and must submit appropriate evidence as per the requirements of the US Immigration Office.
