Daisy C., Jakarta, IndonesiaFAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between L1A and L1B visas?
The L1A is for managers/executives transferring to oversee U.S. operations. The L1B is for employees with specialized knowledge (e.g., unique technical skills). Both require 1+ year with the company abroad, but L1A allows longer stays (up to 7 years vs. 5 for L1B).
How long does L1 visa processing take?
Standard processing takes 6-12 months. For faster results, Premium Processing (additional fee) guarantees a USCIS response within 15 calendar days. Interview scheduling varies by consulate (typically 1-4 weeks).
Can I apply for a Green Card while on L1?
Yes. The L1 is "dual intent," meaning you can pursue a Green Card without penalty. Many employers sponsor L1 holders for EB-1C (multinational executive) petitions.
Can my family join me in the U.S.?
Yes! Your spouse and children under 21 qualify for L2 visas. Your spouse may work by applying for an EAD (work permit), while children can attend school. Include marriage/birth certificates in your application.
Does the L1 visa require me to invest in a U.S. business?
No, the L1 visa doesn't require any minimum investment. It's designed for companies transferring managers/specialists to their U.S. branches. You'll need to show legitimate business operations, but there's no set dollar amount required. The focus is on your role and the company's viability, not investment capital.
Can I travel outside the U.S. on an L1 visa?
Yes, L1 visa holders can travel internationally and re-enter the U.S. multiple times during their stay. You'll need:
(1) A valid L1 visa stamp in your passport
(2) An unexpired I-797 approval notice
(3) Proof of ongoing employment with the petitioning company.
We recommend carrying recent pay stubs and a letter from your employer when traveling.
