Algumas dicas sobre visto L-1 voce encontra aqui:

um grupo de brasileiros que mora em Detroit tem um pequeno forum e tambem circularam a informacao, que saiu no site www.usvisanews.com.

INS regulations, issued in March 1987, severely restricted the ability of many companies to obtain L-1 visas for their employees, particularly if only a small number of a company's employees were employed in the U.S.

The act allows multinational corporations more flexibility in transferring foreign employees to the U.S. It does this by expanding the definitions of "executive", "manager" and "specialized knowledge." Prior law required an L-1 alien to be employed by the company in the foreign country for one year "immediately preceding" his admission to the U.S. The act requires only that the alien be employed abroad for the company for one year during the preceding three-year period.

The act permits international accounting partnerships to transfer personnel to the U.S. using L-1 visas. Formerly, such visas had been denied to these firms on the grounds that their foreign and domestic operations were not "affiliated."

The act permits L-1 managers and executives to remain in the U.S. for a period of seven years, an increase from the present five-to- six year limitation. However, the act sets a five year maximum stay for persons of specialized knowledge.

The act codified the INS practice of permitting companies to submit blanket L-1 petitions to INS. Blanket petitions free such companies from the burden of having to submit to the INS separate L-1 petitions for each executive, manager or specialized knowledge professional.

The act mandates that the INS process an L-1 petition within 30 days after a completed petition has been filed.
