L-1 visa is also associated with the possibility of doing business in the United States. Under the US laws, an L-type visa is considered to be a tool for moving officers and managers of foreign companies to branches located in the United States. Also, the L-1 visa is issued to foreign nationals working in the US companies abroad, in order to attract them to the main offices based in the United States. Compared to the EB-5 visa which does not require detailed substantiations of investor's qualification and experience in management, there is a different situation with L-type visa. An individual petition must be accompanied by a list of documents. This refers not only to bank statements and financial documentation, but also to advertising materials, job descriptions, employees' business cards, etc.
Investors who have invested in the development and management of business in the United States are eligible for applying for an E-2 visa. An important condition: an investor must have not less than 50% equity interest in a US company.
L-1 and E-2 visas are not immigration visas. If L-1 and E-2 visa holders wish to obtain permanent residence status in the United States, they need to switch to a different visa category - often this is EB-5 visa.
