Frequently Asked Questions
Does my company need to be large?
Not necessarily. Company size is only one factor considered during an L-1A evaluation. The structure of the business, the qualifying relationship between the foreign and U.S. entities, the executive or managerial role, and the company’s ability to support U.S. operations are also important.
Can I open a new office in the United States?
Yes. The L-1A category includes provisions for qualifying businesses establishing a new U.S. office. A new office case requires careful planning around the business structure, physical premises, staffing plan, and long-term operational goals.
Can my family come with me?
Eligible spouses and unmarried children under 21 may qualify for L-2 status. Spouses may also be eligible for work authorization in the United States.
Can the L-1A support a future EB-1C strategy?
In some cases, yes. The L-1A can be part of a broader long-term immigration strategy for multinational executives and managers. If the U.S. business develops the right structure, operations, and executive or managerial role, an EB-1C immigrant petition may become an option in the future.
Is EB-1C guaranteed after an L-1A approval?
No. An L-1A approval does not guarantee EB-1C eligibility or approval. EB-1C requires its own legal analysis and evidence. Gregory Edward Boan can help evaluate whether your L-1A strategy may support future permanent residency planning.
