In US Immigration<\/a>, there are two subcategories in the L-1 category- the L-1A visa, which is granted to managers or executives, and the L-1B visa, which is granted to specialized knowledge employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Initially, employees<\/a> being transferred to a newly established company in the US can be granted a one-year visa, while employees being transferred to a company already established in the US may be granted a visa for up to 3 years.<\/span><\/p>\n In this article, you will discover what to consider when applying for an L-1 visa renewal.<\/span><\/p>\n The L-1 visa is to transfer personnel from a company outside of the United States to a company inside of the United States, including the owner(s) of the company themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n In essence, the L-1 visa requires that the two companies must be related to each other, as both companies need to be part of the same corporate group (e.g., an affiliate company, a subsidiary company, etc.), or be the same company.<\/span><\/p>\n There are several benefits for applicants who receive the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approval for an L-1 visa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Firstly, an employee under L-1 status is permitted to bring a spouse and children under the age of 21 to the United States. Thus, the spouse can apply for a work permit. Also, depending on each situation, an L-1 visa may be a possible path to obtain a US green card<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When renewing an L-1 visa, the employer under L-1 status must file a new l-129 (Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker) with USCIS<\/a> before the expiration of the original petition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At this point, it is crucial noting that a renewal petition will also include evidence demonstrating the L-1 requirements are still being met. There is plenty of feasible evidence that an L-1 employee can provide in a renewal petition, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n Plus, an employee working for a company with a new office in the US must include evidence of his\/her current financial status in the business when applying for an L-1 renewal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are many situations in which the applicant opens a new office in the United States on an L-1A status, occupying either a manager or executive position in the business’s activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In such cases, an executive\/manager under L-1A status applying for a visa renewal needs to demonstrate that the newly established business<\/a> has hired enough employees to support the required managerial\/executive roles.<\/span><\/p>\n Hence, this will ensure that the executive\/manager under L-1A status will focus on their executive or managerial tasks in his original position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The period required for an L-1 employee to obtain an L-1 visa renewal varies depending on each case. In case the L-1 employer opts for not paying a premium processing fee (US $2,500), it can take several months until the USCIS issues a decision to the renewal petition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, when the L-1 employer pays the premium processing fee, the USCIS will issue a decision on the petition within 15 calendar days. Regardless of the time involved in the processing, USCIS may issue an approval or denial depending on the applicant’s situation.<\/span><\/p>\n Also, it may issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) or a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID), in which the applicant has the opportunity to submit a response and wait for a new decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In any case, working with an expert immigration attorney can expedite the process, especially as you are making sure your petition is complete when it is submitted to USCIS to avoid a denial, an RFE, or a NOID.<\/span><\/p>\n Do not wait until your L-1 visa reaches its expiration date.
