L1B (L-1B) Visa Business Plans
The L1B (L-1B) visa is one vehicle that companies can use to transfer a professional employee with specialized knowledge to the organization’s affiliated offices in the United States. Including a thorough business plan when petitioning for an L1B (L-1B) visa is vital, as this is the applicant’s only opportunity to present a compelling project and leave a positive impression to immigration officials. From small companies to multinational corporations, Visa Business Plans is equipped to handle plans of all sizes and complexities.
L1-B Products
L1-B Business Plans with job duties
Our L-1B business plans include a qualifying relationship section, an investment section, and 5-year projections for staffing, revenue, and profit and loss.
We understand the critical importance of L classification. Therefore, we ask how immigration attorneys intend to classify the beneficiary (executive, people manager, or functional manager). This helps us build a staffing plan and organizational chart, detailing hierarchy and staffing levels.
We craft industry-specific job duties for the beneficiary and projected subordinates for Year 1, breaking down duties into the four prongs of L manager or executive classification and including the percentage of time for each task.

Have Questions?
-
Can an L-1B visa lead to permanent residency?
L-1B does not have as direct a green card pathway as L-1A/EB-1C, but L-1B holders may qualify for other employment-based green card categories, such as EB-2 or EB-3, depending on their role and qualifications, typically requiring a PERM labor certification.
-
Does a new-office L-1B petition require a business plan?
Yes. As with L-1A, USCIS requires evidence that a newly established U.S. office will be able to support a specialized-knowledge position within one year, which is typically documented through a business plan with staffing, operational, and financial projections.
-
How long can I stay in the U.S. on an L-1B visa?
L-1B status can be granted for up to 5 years total (an initial period plus one extension), which is shorter than the 7-year maximum available under L-1A.
-
What counts as "specialized knowledge" for an L-1B visa?
Specialized knowledge means either a special, uncommon knowledge of the company's product, service, or processes beyond what's generally found in the industry, or an advanced level of knowledge of the organization's specific processes and procedures.
