I just sold my company and I’m ready to start a new company in my own country, and then I eager to start the same business also in the US.
I am considering the L-1A visa, that will also offer me a way to get a green card after the first year. Indeed, I would like not also to work for my own company in the US, but to live there too.
I read all the info about L-1A, and before start the business I want to make sure that I’m doing the right thing in order to apply for the visa.
I need some clarifications about:
Beneficiary of L1 visa
Can I apply if I am the owner of the company? Or the beneficiary for the L1 visa are only executive, manager and specialized knowledge employees?
Foreign Company
Foreign company must have been in operation for at least one year, did I understand right?
How many employees should the company have? I read that it should employ at least 2 individuals, is that right?
What should be the annual sales volume/gross revenues?
US Company
How much do I have to invest in the new company?
How many employees should I have to hire in one year?
Visa Application
In order to apply for the visa, do I have to create the company in the US before, or I will get the visa before I actually open a company?
Processing time of visa by the USCIS?
How long can I stay outside the US? I’m asking this question in the case I have to go back my own country to take care of some business.
Visa Extension
How much should be the revenue of the US company for the first year in order to apply for the L-1 extension?
How many employees should I have after one year?
Green Card
After the visa extension is approve, can I apply for the green card?
Processing time?
Will the green card has conditions to remove?
Anyone can help me? Many thanks in advance.
