Client Mr. L's L1 Visa Case Sharing
Client Mr. L has an excellent work background, serving as a director and president of a Hong Kong company for many years. Due to the company's need to expand into the U.S. market and conduct related business, Mr. L was appointed to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary in the U.S. and is fully responsible for the operations management of the U.S. company. Within just one month, Mr. L completed the establishment and operational launch of the new U.S. company and submitted the I-129 application.
With the thorough preparation and professional assistance from Worldway Group, Mr. L's application proceeded very smoothly, taking only 11 days from submission to approval.
L1 Visa, Fast Track to the U.S.
The L1 visa is a non-immigrant visa used for the internal transfer of management personnel to the U.S., allowing U.S. employers to transfer managers from foreign branches to U.S. companies. It also permits foreign companies that do not yet have a U.S. subsidiary to send managers to establish affiliated companies in the U.S. The L1 visa application has certain thresholds, requiring the transferred personnel to have specific management experience and the ability to operate independently in the U.S.
Despite this, the L1 visa is favored by corporate managers for the following advantages:
1. Short application time, no lottery or waiting in line required
2. L1 visa holders can accumulate a stay in the U.S. for up to 7 years
3. Spouses and children under 21 can accompany
4. Spouses can work and study in the U.S., and minor children can enjoy free education in the U.S.
5. Under certain conditions of company operation and employee numbers, it can transition to EB1C immigrant status, although the difficulty is relatively high
Even though the L1 visa may not necessarily convert to EB1C immigrant status, it still meets various needs of corporate managers. For example, clients who have applied for L1 visas through Worldway in recent years include those who need to go to the U.S. to expand their business; those who wish to develop their careers while accompanying their children in their studies; and those who apply for L1 visas primarily for their children's education.
It is particularly noteworthy that the L1 visa provides a new option for EB-5 investor families who are still waiting in line or have a rigid need for EB-5 investment immigration to quickly reside in the U.S. and allow their children to receive U.S. education, alleviating the long wait for EB-5 visa processing for these investors.
The U.S. L1 visa, approved quickly, helps your family arrive in the U.S. ahead of time. Consultation hotline: 400-138-2929.
