The L1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa which allows foreign companies to temporarily transfer their employees from a location abroad to an office in the U.S. For large employers, it’s the go-to option for employees that do not get selected in the H1B lottery. However, the employee does have to spend at least one year in the office abroad before coming back to the U.S. on an L1 visa.

Typically, an L1 visa is awarded for 3 years. Like the H1B visa, the L1 visa is a dual intent visa, which means you can apply for a green card while in L1 status. There are two types of L1 visas – the L1A and L1B. The L1A visa is reserved for managers or executive level employees whereas the L1B is for employees with specialized knowledge.

If the green card is your ultimate goal and you are born in a country that currently has a lengthy backlog (e.g. India/China), you want to enter the U.S. on an L1A visa over an L1B visa. It gets you in a shorter line to the green card.
