L-1A Visas: Workers opening a US Branch, Affiliate Or Subsidiary Company

The L-1A Visa is intended for individuals coming to the United States to set up a new branch, affiliate, or subsidiary of an existing company. For this type of visa, the petitioner must provide evidence of the physical premises of the U.S. operation and demonstrate its capability to support an executive or managerial role within one year of the petition's approval. Additionally, financial information about the company is necessary. Initially, the visa may be granted for up to one year, but it can be extended subsequently.

For standard L-1A visas, the initial stay is up to three years, with the possibility of extending the stay for a maximum of seven years. The U.S. petitioner must establish the following:

  • Qualifying Relationship: There must be a valid relationship between the U.S. petitioner and a foreign business entity.
  • Active Business Operations: The U.S. employer must be actively conducting business and must continue to do so in at least one other country or through a qualifying organization during the beneficiary’s stay in the U.S. on an L-1 visa.
  • Managerial or Executive Experience: The employee must have worked as a manager or executive for the foreign entity for at least one year within the last three years.
  • Role in the U.S.: The employee must come to the U.S. to take on a managerial or executive position.
  • Financial Viability: Both the foreign and U.S. companies must be financially viable entities.
