L-1B Visa
Employers often need to bring skilled talent from their international offices into key roles in the United States. The L-1B visa provides a pathway for these intra company transfers; however, strict requirements and timing issues often result in delays or denials. For both employers and employees, these challenges can disrupt projects and hiring goals.
Working with a knowledgeable L-1B visa lawyer can reduce those risks. Legal guidance ensures the petition is accurate, submitted on time, and backed by the proper documentation. With the right support, both the business and the employee have a better chance at a successful transfer.
At The Bernard Firm P.L.C., we assist businesses of all sizes with the L-1B process. Since 2008, we have helped companies and employees across industries, including construction, agriculture, technology, and education. We provide focused immigration legal support based on experience and consistent service.
How the L-1B Visa Works
The L-1B visa enables companies to transfer employees with specialized knowledge to U.S. offices. To qualify, the employee must have worked for the company abroad for at least one continuous year within the past three years. The U.S. and foreign companies must share a qualifying relationship, such as a parent or affiliate structure.
The U.S. position must rely on the employee’s specific knowledge about company procedures, systems, or services. Employers initiate the process by filing Form I-129 with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), along with detailed documentation that demonstrates the role, experience, and business relationship.
Our L-1B visa attorney assists companies with preparing strong petitions, reviewing employee eligibility, and avoiding mistakes that can cause delays. We work directly with business owners, HR teams, and foreign employees to ensure each case meets current immigration standards.
Support Throughout the Transfer Process
We help clients prepare L-1B applications that meet agency expectations from the start. Our firm reviews job descriptions, drafts support letters, and compiles required materials to build a clear and complete petition. For workers, we offer guidance on what to expect during the transfer and how to handle changes in status or location.
With experience handling both complex and straightforward intra company transfers, our L-1B visa lawyers offers responsive and reliable legal assistance. We stay involved through every phase and adjust strategies when agency rules shift or new documentation is required.
