L-1B Intra-company Transferee Visa

L-1B Transferee Specialized Knowledge Visa

The L-1B non immigrant visa enables a U.S. employer to transfer a professional employee with specialized knowledge relating to the organizations interests from one of its affiliated foreign offices to one of its offices in the United States. This classification also enables a foreign company which does not yet have an affiliated U.S. office to send a specialized knowledge employee to the United States to help establish one. The employer must file petition for a non immigrant Worker, on behalf of the employee.
