L – 1 Visa arrangement is one wonderful
arrangement that allows the overseas businesses to relocate their key personnel
to offices and locations in United States of America. This arrangement is a
very convenient route for those multinational firms who are having commercial
relations with a US based business entity as a parent; affiliate; subsidiary; or
a branch. The arrangement enables the recipients of the entry permits to enter
the country and carry out necessary work in the country without having to
obtain a special work permit, i.e. the recipient involved themselves in paid
and gainful employment without overriding any norms of non-immigrants.
The company, intending to send their employees to US, may
already be having their business locations in the country, or they may be intending
to set up their first office in the country. One primary parameter that all companies
must meet perfectly is that the business of supplying goods or services must be
carried out consistently, i.e. the offices of the foreign concerns should be
fully operational branches and not merely agencies established for sake of
presence in the US markets.
The advent of globalization has led to mushrooming of
several MNCs at various locations; and most of these newly born cash rich
companies aim to strike it rich and make their presence felt in an economy like
the USA. The US being a flamboyant and a large economy has several
opportunities for foreign multinational companies. This also provides tremendous
opportunities to American companies to forge strategic alliances with overseas
concerns and derive maximum benefits. The US government also recognizes these
facts; and it does not miss a chance to make necessary adjustments to
facilitate home grown firms. L – 1 Visa
in all ways is a clear reflection of intent of the US authorities that intend
at facilitating overseas concerns interested in forming business relations with
US based firms.
Such a move as per many economists is helping the US based
companies in many ways, like US companies can gain exposure at global level.
Such facilitation also brings around several other attachments and benefits for
the local economy in form increased employment opportunities for the local
workforce; and boosts business and trade in domestic economy. The business
entities entering the country on basis of certain predefined relation
definitions are allowed to function freely. But as they need to run their
establishments efficiently and effectively, they are allowed to make
adjustments in their working strategy. One of the major components in the
smooth working involves moving certain people with certain specializations or
skills to manage, administer, or train other people for carrying out functions
of the business entities in the country. This is where L – 1 Visa arrangement comes in handy as the foreign companies are
able to temporarily transfer those employees to the US based locations without
much hassles and issues.
The overseas companies enjoy the privilege of nominating
their key personnel for L – 1Intra –
Company Transfers Visa; and relocate them to their US based locations in
following capacities:
·
L1
A - Managerial and executive levels – the people deemed to be critical for
vital functions of organizations at managerial or executive levels;
·
L1
B - Specialized personnel – the people deemed to be in possession of
specialized knowledge about ether product or service concept of the company.
These people may monitor the specialized functions and may also train US based
workers to carry out functions effectively and efficiently.
The total tenure of this non immigrant entry permit is
usually 7 years for L1A and 5 years for L1B. The petitions for this arrangement
can be either made by the employer for an individual or in bulk as a blanket
requests.
