L-1A Blanket Visa
The L-1A Blanket visa is for persons employed at a managerial or executive level for at least one of the previous three years at a non-U.S. firm, corporation, or other legal entity, who will come to the U.S. to work, in a managerial or executive position, at its related entity in the United States, or will oversee the opening of a new entity in the United States which is affiliated with the non-U.S. entity.
This visa category is eligible for individuals working for companies who already have an L Blanket approval notice. The petition for the L-1A visa based upon the approved L Blanket may be filed at a US consulate abroad or inside the US at a CIS regional service center.
