The L-1A new office petition is the most powerful route for business owners and multinational executives to expand to the United States. USCIS requires proof of a physical US office, a credible USCIS-compliant business plan, a documented qualifying corporate relationship, and a realistic staffing plan within the first year. Most advisory firms stop at the petition. USAIS goes further — we physically set up your US branch or subsidiary, secure your office space, open your business bank account, and file an I-129 petition built to get approved.

Step by Step
Our L-1A New Office Process — 3 Steps to Your US Business

From company setup to USCIS approval — we manage every step of your L-1A new office petition so you can focus on building your business.

01
Step 1
📋
Business Assessment & Initial Eligibility Check

Before anything else, we assess whether your business qualifies for an L-1A new office petition. We review your corporate structure, confirm the qualifying relationship between your foreign company and the proposed US entity, and verify your role meets USCIS's executive or managerial standard.

⚡ Quick Eligibility Check — Do You Qualify for the L-1A Visa?
Check Now

Your business is likely a strong L-1A candidate if it meets the following criteria:

  • ✓Operating for at least 2 years — your foreign company must have been actively trading for a minimum of 2 years
  • ✓3 or more employees on payroll — USCIS expects a genuine business with an active workforce, not a one-person operation
  • ✓Profitable and financially stable — the business must be in a profitable stage with a healthy financial track record
  • ✓Annual turnover of approx. ₹1 Crore or more (preferred) — demonstrates the financial strength to support a new US operation
⚠ These are preferred qualifying indicators, not absolute USCIS thresholds. Every case is unique — schedule a free consultation for a personalised eligibility assessment.
💼
This is a Business Visa — Not an Investment Visa.

You do not need huge financials or a large capital investment. What USCIS looks for is a genuine, operating business with real employees, real revenue, and a credible plan to expand to the US. If your business is running and generating income, you likely qualify.

Company Setup in the US

We form your US branch, subsidiary, or affiliate entity — LLC or C-Corp — and handle everything needed to make it USCIS-ready: EIN registration, US business banking, Registered Agent, state compliance filings, and most importantly, securing a signed physical office lease at our Fremont, California headquarters or a suitable commercial location. Your US company is fully operational before we file your petition.

USCIS-Compliant Business Plan

Our in-house business plan writers produce a USCIS-compliant L-1A new office business plan that satisfies exactly what USCIS adjudicators look for. This is not a generic business plan — it is built specifically to win your L-1A petition. We include realistic financial projections, a US market opportunity analysis, a first-year staffing plan, evidence of sufficient funding, and a clear description of your executive or managerial role.

Our Competitive Advantage
Why USAIS is Different

Most immigration advisories stop at filing paperwork. We physically set up your US office, hire your first employee, and open your bank account.

US Headquarters — Fremont, California

Our US head office is physically located at 39159 Paseo Padre Pkwy, Ste 115, Fremont, CA 94538. We handle your US company setup, office lease, and USCIS site visits directly from our California base.

Serving Clients Worldwide

We work with business owners across India, UAE, UK, Singapore, Bangladesh, Nigeria, South Africa and more — providing remote and in-person consultations to guide your L-1A new office petition from wherever you are.

50+ Years Combined Experience

Our advisors know exactly what USCIS adjudicators look for in an L-1A new office petition — and structure every I-129 filing to satisfy those criteria and avoid RFEs.

Premium Processing

We file with USCIS Premium Processing (Form I-907) — a decision within 15 business days vs 4–8 months standard. Critical for business owners with time-sensitive US launches.

EB-1C Green Card Built In

We plan your permanent residency pathway from Day 1 — so every business decision during your L-1A new office setup simultaneously strengthens your EB-1C green card case.
