If your company has multiple offices around the world and filing an application for the L1 A or L1 B visa is common, then you might qualify for an L1 visa blanket petition.

To be eligible for an L1 visa blanket petition your company will have to meet the following criteria:

• Your company is engaged in commercial trade or services.

• Your company has had an office in the United States for at least a year.

• Your company has three or more branches, subsidiaries, or affiliates in the United States and in a foreign country.

• Your company has obtained ten L1 visa approvals in the last year.

• The combined annual sales for your U.S. entities is at least $25 million.

• The U.S. work force of your entities has at least 1,000 employees.

If your company has an L1 Visa Blanket petition you will be able to move employees from one office abroad to a US entity without having to file to file an application with USCIS. All of your interactions will be with the US Consulate.

If you have additional questions about the L1 visa blanket please feel free to contact us for more information.
