The U.S. L1 visa is a multinational manager or multinational company transferee visa, which is a Chinese state-owned company and establishes a branch, subsidiary or subsidiary company in the United States in the name of a Chinese company, and goes to the United States to work and operate the branch as a multinational manager, supervisor or technician. Since the reason for residing in the United States is to operate a business in the United States, the United States is a hungry country that allows applicants to have a tendency to immigrate. The L1 visa is valid for 1 to 3 years at a time and can be extended upon expiration.

Managers can work in the U.S. for up to 7 years, and special professionals can work in the U.S. for up to 5 years. For applications that have just come to the U.S. to open a new company, USCIS generally only gives 1 year for the first time, and then applies for an extension after the expiration of the period.

3. Reciprocity fee for Chinese applicants for L visa: US$120.

All of these fees are charged by USCIS, not by intermediaries.

Cost of Immigration Lawyer Services

The lawyer's fee is the fee charged by the lawyer for providing legal services for the L1 visa application.

The applicant must be at least 18 years old;

The domestic parent company has been established for more than 1 year;

The number of employees of the domestic parent company shall not be less than 10;

The domestic parent company is in normal operation;

The main applicant must have worked in the parent company for more than one year and held a senior management position;

No major infectious diseases.

The status type is a work visa, not a green card.

Once the application is approved, the main applicant, spouse and children under the age of 21 can obtain a green card to enter the United States and become permanent residents of the United States. Similar to the U.S. L1 visa, the transfer of a U.S. green card is also based on a multinational company relationship, that is, there is a mother-child affiliation relationship between China and the U.S. company.

The processing period for the L1 visa to green card in the United States is about 8-12 months. To apply for EB-1C immigration as a manager of a multinational company, the U.S. subsidiary is required to have been in operation for more than one year. The beneficiary can be an L1A in the U.S. or a manager of a parent company abroad who has never been to the U.S.

The immigration professional consultants of the Federation of Trade Unions have summarized for you that there are two ways to apply for an L1 visa in the United States:

First, a foreign head office can directly apply for immigration for the president of the company after one year of operation to establish a new branch in the United States. Another way is: to purchase a company that has been operating in the United States for more than three years as a branch, the business does not need to be related, constituting a mother-child affiliation, and the foreign head office remits to the United States to acquire and control a U.S. company that has been operating for more than one year, and the U.S. company can directly apply for immigration for the company's senior manager, and directly go to the United States with a family green card after success. Of course, the companies on both sides must operate relatively well, and the respondent's situation must be relatively strong, so as to be successful.
