L-1 Visa

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN L-1 VISA

  • No Quotas. Unlike some other visa categories there are no annual limits on the number of visas available to certain countries.
  • Fast Processing Times. Average processing time is between 3-6 months. Premium Processing is also available by paying an additional fee of $2,500. With the premium processing, USCIS is required to respond with 15 business days.
  • Family. L1 Visa holders are permitted to take their spouses and dependent children with them to the United States on the L-2 visa.
  • Work Authorization. Spouses are permitted to apply for work authorization once they enter the US to work for any US employer.
  • Tax Advantages. The L1 visa is a non-immigrant visa, which means it does not offer permanent residency (Green Card). While Green Card holders may be taxed on worldwide income, non-immigrant visa holders are generally not. (You should still consult a tax professional if you want to make sure that you will not be considered a US tax resident)
  • Transition to Green Card. It is possible to transition to a Green Card through the L-1A visa category. The criteria for L-1A is very similar with the criteria for EB-1C category for Multinational Managers or Executives, which makes it easier for L-1A holders to become permanent residents. The L1 visa category is also considered a dual intent visa.
