This CLE webinar will provide an overview of the legal framework and practical nuances of the L-1 visa program for immigration attorneys serving both U.S. and foreign companies seeking to transfer managers and skilled professionals to the U.S.

Description

Under the L-1 visa program, U.S. companies can temporarily transfer employees from foreign offices to the U.S. and foreign companies can send executives and managers to the U.S. to establish a U.S. office. In 2024, the L-1 visa program is more important than ever due to its flexibility, its role in supporting multinational business operations, and its ability to address talent shortages.

Additionally, in an atmosphere of continued high demand and annual caps on H-1B visas, many companies turn to the L-1 program as an alternative. The L-1 visa is uncapped, enabling companies to move highly skilled professionals without waiting for an annual lottery.

Immigration attorneys need a deep understanding of the legal framework and practical nuances of the L-1 program to effectively serve their clients.

Listen as our panel of experts discusses the complexities of the L-1 visa program, including eligibility requirements, compliance obligations, recent trends in adjudications, pathways to permanent residency, and more.
