I am coming to the United States to open a new office. What visa do I qualify for?

If you are coming to the United States to open or work in a new office, you may be eligible for an L visa, provided: the new office has an affiliation with a foreign company and specific other requirements are met. The L-1A manager or executive of a new office differ from the L-1A manager or executive of an already established office. The L-1 visa for a new office is valid for one year and needs to be extended after the first year to demonstrate to USCIS adequate staffing and operations.
