With the L-1A visa, you can avoid green card backlog and acquire permanent residency under the streamlined employment-based first preference category, EB-1(c). The L-1A visa offer tremendous vitality and an extraordinary opportunity for foreign business owners looking to expand their operations to the United States and later acquire permanent residency without having to make a significant financial investment.
