This category of visa is available
to foreign nationals who have worked abroad for at least one out of
the three years immediately prior to entry to the United States as a
manager, executive, or specialized knowledge employee of a foreign
affiliate of a U.S. company and who will be transferred to the U.S.
affiliate to work in a similar position.
If someone is eligible for this
category, it is probably the best employment visa to use, as the DOL
is not brought into the process.
One attractive option frequently
used by large companies is the "blanket L-1." This
allows the transfer of foreign national managers, executives or
specialized knowledge personnel via the filing of a single petition.
If approved, the petition allows for an extremely expedited process
for obtaining visas for such employees.
