L-Visa
Generally
If you are a manager, executive, or an especially knowledgeable employee who works outside the United States for a company that has an affiliated entity inside the United States and you would like to come to the United States in order to perform services for that entity, then you may be eligible for L-1 intracompany transferee visa.
The L-1 visa is a dual intent visa, which means that you may stay in the United States for the duration of your employment or if you continue working for the affiliated entity and wish to stay in the United States, you may be eligible to apply for a green card.
