USA Intracompany Transfer Visa

Overview

L-1 visas support certain intracompany transfers from an overseas related entity to a qualifying U.S. office. Appropriate corporate relationship, prior employment and role requirements must be established.

Vistora’s support focuses on the relationship between the overseas and U.S. organisations, employment history and proposed transfer role. We work from the information you provide, identify missing items and help organise a consistent application record. Any regulated legal advice or representation must be provided by an appropriately authorised professional.

Eligibility

This service may be relevant to: Managers, executives and specialized-knowledge employees transferring within qualifying international company structures.

The relationship between the overseas and U.S. organisations, employment history and proposed transfer role. The listed audience is a starting point, not an eligibility decision. Your nationality, immigration history, supporting parties and current programme rules may affect the route available.

Choose this service and tell us your purpose, current location and application stage. Include relevant deadlines or existing correspondence.

Organise the application record

We review the information supplied, clarify the applicable document checklist and identify missing or inconsistent items. Employer, institution, sponsor or authorised adviser steps remain separate where required.

Prepare and follow the next steps

After the agreed preparation work, follow the relevant government filing or appointment instructions. Keep your Vistora Application ID to view team updates and respond to document requests. Our tracker reflects Vistora’s service progress; it is not a government case-status portal.

Processing information

Government processing times, appointment availability and requirements vary. We do not publish guaranteed timelines or approval rates. Ask for a clear explanation of Vistora service fees, government fees and third-party charges before proceeding.

Read the official government guidance. Check the current instructions before filing or making travel commitments.

Frequently asked questions

Is any transfer within a business eligible?

No. The corporate relationship, prior employment and the proposed duties must satisfy the applicable L classification. Organised records support the assessment but cannot replace eligibility.

What does starting an application on this website do?

It creates a request for Vistora’s assistance and a tracking reference. It does not submit a visa or immigration application to a government authority or create a guarantee of representation.

Can Vistora guarantee approval?

No. Vistora helps with the agreed application preparation and process support. Government authorities assess eligibility and make the final decision.
