The L-1 Business Management Visa
You establish a US affiliate of your foreign company, and this affiliate requests
you to come to the US as its manager. You can form the affiliate either by
starting your own business, or by purchasing an existing business of proven track
record in the US. You live in the US on an L-1 Visa and manage the affiliate’s
operations on for at least one year. After successful operation of your US business
for at least one complete tax cycle, you may apply for full Green Card rights.
If you purchase an existing US business as your US affiliate, you may be able to
finance this purchase for 50% or more, using the newly acquired business and your
foreign business as collateral.
You and your family may live in the US from about 6 months after you begin the
program. You can work in the US as the manager of your US company, but your family
members may not work here until Green Card rights are granted.
