The L-1 visa is available to employees of international companies who are being transferred to a U.S. office. To be eligible, the applicant must have worked for the foreign company for at least one continuous year within the three years preceding their application and must be coming to the U.S. to work in a managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge capacity.
An H-1B visa holder can stay in the U.S. for a maximum of six years, initially granted for three years with an extension of up to three more years. Extensions beyond six years are possible under the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act (AC21), such as if the visa holder is applying for permanent residency, has an approved I-140 petition, or a pending labor certification filed at least 365 days before reaching the six-year limit.
Obtaining a U.S. Green Card can be achieved through various pathways, such as family sponsorship, employment-based categories, the Diversity Visa Lottery, and asylum or refugee status. Family sponsorship is the fastest for immediate relatives like spouses and parents, while employment-based options include extraordinary abilities, advanced degrees, skilled workers, and job-creating investors.
The length of stay in the U.S. with a temporary visa varies by type. Tourist (B-2) and business (B-1) visas allow up to six months, as set by Customs and Border Protection. Student (F-1) visas cover the study period and practical training. Work visas like H-1B last up to three years, extendable to six. L-1 visas are valid for up to seven years for managers and five years for specialized workers. Extensions depend on visa rules.
To obtain a U.S. work permit (EAD), eligible individuals must determine their eligibility based on their immigration status, submit Form I-765 with supporting documents and the application fee to USCIS, and possibly attend a biometrics appointment. Upon approval, they receive the EAD, allowing them to work legally in the U.S. for one to two years, with renewal options.
