L-1 Visa (Intracompany Transfer) jobs in United States
Live employer listings, country-specific CV tailoring, and ATS-keyword scoring for L-1-sponsoring roles.
About the L-1 Visa (Intracompany Transfer)
The L-1 visa transfers employees from a foreign office to a US office of the same multinational employer. Two flavours: L-1A for executives and managers (valid 7 years), L-1B for specialised-knowledge workers (5 years). Requires the candidate to have worked at the foreign entity for 1+ continuous year in the preceding 3 years.
No annual cap, no lottery — a meaningful workaround for engineers stuck out of H-1B lotteries. Frequently used by large tech multinationals (Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Infosys) for India/Ireland/Singapore-to-US transfers. Dual intent permitted; EB-1C green-card path accelerates for L-1A holders.
CV tip for L-1 applicants
L-1 candidates: highlight tenure at the foreign entity prominently — recruiters and L-1 immigration teams screen on the 1-year minimum.
Salary thresholds and visa rules above reflect publicly available figures as of 2026 and may change. Always confirm with the official authority — www.uscis.gov — before applying or making relocation decisions.
