Are you a small business owner who wants to expand your business in the United States? The L-1 Visa may be the answer to your problems.
What Is the L-1 Visa Program?
The L-1 Visa program allows businesses to transfer their senior managers or executives and employees with specialized knowledge from their overseas office to a US office.
