I work for a small service company from India.. we are planning to expand our business in the USA.. no presence in the USA as of now. so my Indian company is interested in applying my L1A. My designation is delivery manager.. they changed my designation from solutions architect to deliver manager last year in order to process L1-A. I have been with them for more than 8 years.. but our business model in the USA is mostly providing services to our only one client by staffing people in them. They have promised that they will give us a long term contract for 10 people. Also we are looking for other clients. We are planning to hire 5 people in the USA soon. Am I eligible for L1a as we are not actually a product development company / any products. We have our friends homes as registered office in 4 different cities in the USA. We don’t have any office space other than this. We are a very small service company. Please let me know. This would be very helpful for me.

Yes, L1 is the visa for you. One can use L1 visa to setup a their new & first office in USA.Originally posted by ricchu14 View Post- I am not an Attorney, hence not giving any legal advice. Just sharing MY opinion with an intent to help others.

Note that if you say that you will be going there to start up the US offices, there might be conditions put on your visa
* Your visa duration is shorter (1-2 years)
* You have to provide a business plan for the US office and your visa will be renewed only if you meet the targets in the plan.
* You need to show how many people you plan to hire and their details (experience, qualifications, salary range). Again, you need to meet that target for renewal.
* You need to have office premises (not a home) where business will be conducted and where the staff can work from.
