| The
L Visa has two classifications: L1A for Executive/Managerial staff and L1B
for Specialists. The prerequisites to these visas are that L1As will be managing
a major subdivision of the company or the specialist must be privy to specific
products or process integral to the company. Finally, applicants must have been
working for at least a year with the foreign parent company. Both visas are applicable
for 3 years and can be extended between 6 and 7 years. If
you are a student: The J Visa is intended for students that have
graduated from a foreign country and wish to gain 18 months of experience in the
US. Although this is a flexible visa, it should be noted that the issuance of
this visa is based on the condition that the applicant returns to their country
of nationality for a 2-year period. This pre-condition can in some instances be
waived and will be discussed with our lawyers, if this is the option is employed.
What
about your spouse, kids or fiancé? Don't worry, the US does not
expect you to leave your loved ones behind. There are numerous paths one can opt
for. There is the accompanying family members visa (H4), or the Fiancé
Visas (Ks) and finally, if studying is an option, then the academic student visas
are applicable. <<Page
