L1 Visa General Information: Individuals who are employed outside the United
States as executives, managers or in a position which requires specialized
knowledge may qualify for an L1 Intracompany Transfer Work Visa. If the
applicant is already in the United States, a change of status might be possible.

the country and having to apply for the L1 Visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate
abroad. The process of completing and submitting a request for an L1

straight-forward and easy to understand. This is a user-friendly step-by-step
guide to help you file your L1 Visa application as efficiently and quickly as
possible.
