L1-A Several Basic Questions Please HELP!!!

[vega.daniel]

I’m the founder and manager of a technology company in Colombia-South America with more than 20 employees. We have already registered a Corporation in USA and me, my partner and one trust employee will apply for L-1A Visas. I have some questions, hope you can kindly help me:

1. The petitioner company has to be the USA company? The USA company is just registered so it doesn’t have sales.
2. Do we have to pay the fee for each of the Individual Beneficiary?
3. Where are the interviews? In USA or in the Country where the Beneficiary are, in this case Colombia?
4. Most of the support documentation is in Spanish, so we have to translate it, Do we have to use an certified translator or those documents have to be sealed by a certified translator?
5. Can we make the application by ourselves or is there a requirement to do it through a lawyer?
6. The USA Company don’t have a lot of

Hope one of you can help to me with this.

I-129 L1-A Application Fee

Thanks a lot for your answer;

We want to send an I-129 L-1A application for three people, and we have some questions:

1. Do we have to pay the I-129 base fee (US325) and also the Fraud Fee for H1 and L petitions (US500)?

We are confused because according to the document “Instructions for Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker” the Fraud fee for H1B and L Petitions is required for “a U.S. employer seeking initial approval of H-1B or L nonimmigrant status for a beneficiary, or seeking approval to employ an. H-1B or L nonimmigrant currently working for another U.S. employer”.

There is two aspects to have in mind:
1. We want to make an L-1A manager or executive to open a new office.
2. This is the first time we feel the application.

Thanks a lot for your kindly help.

Best Regards;
