L-1B Visa

The L-1B visa is a U.S. work visa that allows companies to transfer employees with specialized knowledge from their foreign offices to their U.S.-based offices. This visa is particularly beneficial for workers who possess unique skills or expertise that are essential for the company's operations. To qualify, the employee must have been with the company for at least one year in the last three years. The L-1B visa is typically valid for up to three years and can be extended, but it is specifically tied to the sponsoring employer.
