L-1A & L-1B Visas

L-1 visas are visas that allow international companies to transfer important and useful employees to the United States for the purpose of work. These types of visas are non-immigrant visas, meaning that the employees who transfer to work in the U.S. do not move here permanently. There are two classifications of L-1 visas, known as L-1A and L-1B visas. L-1A classification is for executives and managers, whereas L-1B classification is for regular employees with specialized or technical knowledge. Additionally, L-1 visa holders are allowed to have their spouses accompany them and work in the U.S. as well.
