I live in the UK, and am interested in the L1 visa, but the stipulations of the Visa seem vague.
I have the following four questions:
Question 1: If I open a branch in the US can it be physical or virtual?
Question 2: Do I have to keep the UK branches open?
Question 3: How long does this business have to been running for? What revenues does it need to have?
Question 4: My parents and I have had the following 3 businesses. Could any of these qualify for an L1 visa?
A. Kindle book publishing business I hire ghostwriters to write fiction books for US readers. At the moment the ghostwriters are based outside US, but I am hoping to hire US ghostwriters. (The business is done wholly online).
B. Accountancy business My parents have been running an accountancy business for the last 30 years. At the moment it only deals with UK clients, but would opening a US branch qualify for an L1 Visa? If so, can they close the UK branch or do they need t keep that running?
C. Property portfolio My parents had a portfolio of properties in the UK, which they have mostly liquified to build a similar portfolio in the USA. Could that be used for an L1 Visa?
Please note, I am not looking for a quick fix solution and appreciate that using the L1 visa takes time. I also know I need to speak with a lawyer, but I like to do my own research first, that way, I can understand what the lawyer is talking about. I know about other visas such as EB5 and E2, but I would like to research L1. Both myself and parents would love to come to the US and I am over 21 and so would need my own route.
