Employment-Based Immigration
H-1B, L-1, and Beyond

blog-authorDavid A. Keller, Esq.

Introduction

The U.S. offers a range of employment-based visas, enabling professionals worldwide to contribute their skills and expertise. This blog explores popular visa categories, including H-1B and L-1 visas, and provides a roadmap for navigating the application process.

Overview of Employment-Based Immigration

Employment visas fall into temporary nonimmigrant and permanent immigrant categories. Temporary visas, such as H-1B and L-1, allow for specific work opportunities, while EB-2 and EB-5 visas provide pathways to permanent residency.

Spotlight on H-1B Visas

  • Eligibility: Reserved for specialty occupations requiring at least a bachelor’s degree.
  • Annual Cap: A lottery system determines visa allocation due to high demand.
  • Employer’s Role: Employers must file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) and Form I-129.

L-1 Intracompany Transfer Visas

  • Eligibility: Allows multinational companies to transfer employees to U.S. offices.
  • Categories: L-1A for managers and executives, L-1B for specialized knowledge workers.
  • Documentation: Employers must demonstrate a qualifying relationship between U.S. and foreign offices.

Navigating the Challenges

Visa applicants often face challenges such as RFEs (Requests for Evidence) and denials. Working with experienced attorneys ensures compliance with all requirements and strengthens applications.
