L1 Visa?

08-05-2021, 09:58 AM

Hello US immigration experts! I'm wondering if I can apply for an L1 Visa in my situation. I know the visa is intended for inter-company transfers, but I read it also allows for the set up of a branch office.

I am an IT consultant with an incorporated company in Canada for the last 10 years. I work from my home most of the time with occasional visits to client offices. I would like to move to Miami, and set up a similar practice there. I have documentatio routerloginn of my company and revenue o 192.168.l.l f about 192.168.l.l$300K/year. Can I successfully apply for an L1?

I think your situation should qualify as managerial / executive to set up an office for the same company.

I'm an L2 non-immigrant. My most recent I-539 and I-765 were submitted mid-Oct 2020, Texas SC and approved early August 2021.
