- What is an L1A nonimmigrant visa and how long is an L1A visa granted for?
An L1A is an Intra-Company Transferee visa that allows companies operating both in the United States and abroad to transfer certain types of employees from its overseas office to the U.S. office. The L1A is a temporary nonimmigrant work visa. The L1A nonimmigrant visa is reserved for Executives and Managers. An applicant must be able to establish that they have worked for the non-U.S. company for at least one (1) full year within the last three (3) years as an executive or manager. The initial validity period for an L1A nonimmigrant visa is three (3) years, unless it is a new office being opened in the U.S., then it would only be granted for a period of one (1) year. The L1A nonimmigrant visa may be extended in two (2) year increments until the applicant reaches 7 years in L1A nonimmigrant visa status. If you have additional questions, contact our office to schedule a consultation.
