Immigration plan
L 1-A visa can be used to dock EB 1C immigration application. If the registered business of an American company is less than one year, which does not meet the requirement of one-year existence of an American company as stipulated in EB 1C, after the extension of L 1, the American company can successfully submit the EB 1C immigration when it has 10 employees and pays taxes normally.
If the American company has been operating for more than 1 year, as an established company, the American company has 10 employees and pays taxes normally, and can directly submit an EB 1C immigration application for the applicant, and obtain a green card after approval.
Characteristics of L 1-A visa
The L 1 visa allows the tendency to emigrate, and L 1 and L2 visa holders can safely apply for a green card in the United States without damaging L 1 or L2 identity. For example, L2 visa can be changed to H 1B, F 1, B 1 or B2, or other non-immigrant status such as L 1, and you can also apply for a green card.
L- 1-A visa has no limit on the length of stay in the United States. As long as it is within the validity period, L-L 1-A visas can enter and exit at will. Class b ten-year visas need to leave the country before the effective time approved by the customs.
The application requirements for L- 1A visa are mainly for China companies, only for the applicant's work experience and position, not for education and language. The H- 1B visa was established to protect Americans' right to work and introduce high-tech talents. It requires that the applicant's salary in the United States is higher than the American standard (in line with the requirements of PrevailingWage), and the requirement is not lower than the bachelor's degree. Also restricted by specific occupations, there are places every year. We need to draw lots. Bad luck, it's no use meeting the requirements.
In addition, the L 1 visa can be expedited, and the immigration office will complete the processing within 15 days.
