  1. A U.S. employer wants to transfer an executive or manager from one of its foreign offices to one of its offices in the United States
  2. A foreign company without an affiliated U.S. office wants to send an executive or manager to the United States with the purpose of establishing a new office

Since the two classifications share similar requirements, many individuals who enter on the L-1A visa later proceed directly to permanent resident status through the EB-1 immigrant visa process.

What’s the process for L-1A visa holders to obtain a green card?
