L-1 Intracompany Transferees

L-1 Intracompany Transferees

HSPRD attorneys have substantial experience guiding U.S. employers through the process of transferring to the United States employees who have been employed outside the United States for a U.S. employer or for a parent, branch, subsidiary or affiliate of a U.S. employer.  To qualify for L-1 status foreign nationals must have been employed full-time outside the United States in an executive or managerial position or in a position requiring “specialized knowledge” by a U.S. employer or a parent, branch, subsidiary or affiliate of a U.S. employer for at least one year of the 3 years preceding the time the filing of a petition to classify a foreign national as eligible for L-1 status.

If a foreign national is coming to the United States to be employed at a subsidiary, affiliate, branch, or joint venture partner that has been in operation in the United States for less than one year, the United States employer can petition to bring the foreign national for an initial period of one year.  In order to obtain an extension beyond the initial one-year period, the U.S. employer must demonstrate that it has grown to the point that the U.S. employer is able to support a managerial or executive position by the end of its first year of operations.
