Competing in the global marketplace often requires transferring your company’s most valuable technical assets—your people—across borders. The L-1B Nonimmigrant Visa allows multinational companies to transfer professional employees with ‘Specialized Knowledge’ relating to the organization’s interests from a foreign office to the United States. Unlike the H-1B, there is no visa lottery cap; however, the burden of proof to define your employee’s knowledge as truly ‘specialized’ rather than ‘general’ is exceptionally high.
At Clinch Law Firm, we specialize in overcoming the high Request for Evidence (RFE) rates associated with L-1B petitions. We work closely with your technical teams to articulate exactly how your employee’s expertise regarding your proprietary products, services, or processes is essential to your U.S. operations. Whether filing an individual petition or utilizing a corporate L-1 Blanket, we draft rigorous legal arguments that distinguish your talent from the general labor market.
Learn the requirements, benefits, and application process for the L1 visa to transfer employees to the U.S. for multinational companies.
