In today's world, more and more people are striving to connect their lives with the United States of America, go there for permanent residence and find a job. If you want to find a job in an American company, then you have such an opportunity. American immigration law establishes a certain procedure for entry and stay in the country for such applicants. For this, potential employees of American companies need to obtain work visas. In most cases, this requires an H visa. It should be noted that the US immigration law establishes many types of work visas. And besides, standard work visas, to facilitate transfers within US companies, a special work visa of the L-1 category is provided. If you have been working in a branch of an American company for more than 3 years and have achieved good results, the company's management can transfer you to an American office through a simplified procedure without issuing time-consuming standard visas. Thus, the L1 visa provides the right to transfer to the American branch / department of an international company, the opening of subsidiaries. Such a visa is mainly issued to  mid-level and higher level management. The management of the company can transfer you to a US office under a simplified procedure without issuing time-consuming standard visas. 

 

The L-1 US work visa is a non-immigrant visa for transfer to work in a branch of a parent company opened in the United States, an affiliate or subsidiary of an employer in the United States in a senior position (manager, director, top manager or other position), requiring special knowledge. The validity of an L-1 visa is from 1 to 3 years, and if necessary, can be extended for up to 5 years. An important condition for approval in issuing an L-1 visa is the fact that you have to have been continuously working for the same employer abroad in a managerial position for at least 1 year during the previous three years. In addition, if you are a registered self-employed person, this will also play in your favor when applying for an L-1 visa.

 

Please note that accompanying family members who are holders of an L-1 visa category, for accompanying close relatives of an employee (spouse, children under the age of 21) are guaranteed an opportunity to receive an L-2 visa. The lawyers and attorneys working with the law office of Gregory Krasovsky will be able to assist you in obtaining these categories of work visas.

 

However, the procedure for issuing visas of this category is quite complicated, because the US immigration law has many nuances, especially considering that American law does not apply to the civil law system. In addition, for the correct application of an L-1 visa, knowledge of US corporate law is required, because the process of transferring an employee of a managerial position to another enterprise may require additional documents (charter, registration certificate, tax returns, etc.). Therefore, the process of obtaining an American L-1 work visa is quite time-consuming and costly. In this case, it is necessary to find an inviting employer, fill out a certain number of documents and pass an interview at a consular organization. Of course, you can get an L-1 work visa on your own, however, qualified legal assistance will eliminate the risks when applying for a specific L-1 work visa and significantly speed up the process of obtaining it, which is very important, since delay in obtaining this visa can adversely affect the client’s future career. Therefore, highly qualified specialists in the field of US immigration law are in demand, because obtaining an L-1 work visa in the United States requires knowledge of not only American legislation, but also US legal norms and international law.
