Nonimmigrant Intra Company Transfer (L Visa)

​

Some visas, like the intracompany transfer visa, are non-immigrant visas that provide flexibility to the employer. For example, the L-Visa provides flexibility to multinational corporations who have operations in the United States. The L-1 Visa includes the following two categories:

​

• L-1A, Manager or Executive; and,

• L-1B, Intracompany Transferee for employees with specialized knowledge.

​

The L-Visa affords foreign nationals the ability to transfer to a U.S. office, subsidiary or affiliated company.

L-2 Visa for Spouses and Children of Transferees

​

If you are eligible for an L-1A or an L-1B, and you are married with unmarried children under the age of 21, your spouse and child(ren) may be eligible for L-2 status. Those eligible for L-2 status may join an intracompany transfer in the United States. Spouses and children of L-1 transfers are eligible to attend school or college, and are eligible to perform work in the United States, provided they have the appropriate employment authorization from USCIS.
