L-1 Visa Business Plan Writing

The L-1 visa was created to allow US companies to transfer employees from one of its affiliated foreign offices to one of its offices in the United States under certain conditions. It is divided into 2 types:

1. The L-1A visa allows the transfer of an acknowledged executive or manager to the company’s US office
2. The L-1B visa makes it possible for an employee with special knowledge relating to the organization’s interests to be transferred.

There are several criteria for applying for an L-1 Visa, including:

• The business owner or employee must have worked for the subsidiary, head or branch office or affiliate office for at least one continuous year.  The year that they were employed must be within the past three years.
• The U.S. company must be the parent, branch or affiliate company of the overseas company that the business owner or employee will be coming from.

Like the E-2 visa, there is no provision in the legislation requiring a business plan with your L-1 visa application.  Indeed, if you work for larger multinational corporations or huge brands that are household names, you may only require a letter from the company director or minimal information to secure this kind of visa.  However, this is definitely not the case for younger or less known businesses.  If you are just starting out with your first U.S.-based subsidiary or affiliate of your small to medium-sized overseas business or if you acquiring an established U.S.-based business as a means of expanding into the US market you will need to strengthen your L-1 Visa application by submitting a professional, well-written L-1 visa business plan detailing your plans for expansion to the United States.
