Excel in Your L-1A Visa: Managerial & Executive Roles

Secure Your U.S. Transfer with Confidence

Welcome to the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram’s L-1 visa series! We’re thrilled to clarify L-1A qualifications for managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge roles, ensuring your petition stands out for USCIS approval.

Qualify with Strategic Job Duties

Per USCIS, L-1A beneficiaries must primarily perform managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge tasks that directly impact daily U.S. operations. Attending meetings or training doesn’t count—those may fall under a B-1 visa. Craft a job description emphasizing high-level responsibilities, avoiding junior or routine tasks.

Plan for Start-Ups

For new U.S. branches, initial lower-level duties are acceptable. However, your plan must show that within 12 months, your team will expand, allowing you to focus on L-1A-qualifying roles by year two.
