L-1 Visas for Persons with Specialized Knowledge



Immigration Attorney Raj Iyer of the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman explains who qualifies for L-1B temporary visas.  Schedule a legal consultation (by Skype, telephone or in person) at http://shusterman.com/schedule-immigration-consultation.html.

An L-1B temporary visa allows an employer to transfer a worker with specialized knowledge from a foreign office to the US. The L-1B worker must be employed by a parent, subsidiary, branch or affiliated company abroad in order to qualify, and be coming to perform services that involve specialized knowledge.

A foreign company which does not yet have an office in the US may establish one and obtain an L-1B visa for the worker. In order to sponsor the worker for an L-1B visa, the employer must begin the process by submitting a Form I-129 visa petition to the USCIS.
