Hello all,
This is my first post, so thank you all pre-emptively for your help.
Basically, the company I work for wants to send me across to their offices in New York for a couple of years, and might I say that I am quite keen on the idea too! In this situation the L-1B visa is by far the best option, but from speaking to one attorney, they have advised that whilst the minimum requirement for the visa is 1 years experience in the firm, very few people's applications are approved with fewer than 5 years in a position (I have 18 months).
Is this typically the case, or have we found an overly cautious lawyer? Does anyone have any experience with this aspect of the process? We are a small company and so do not have the ready resources of some other organisations, so we want to make sure that the application is accepted first time!
Thanks!
