We recently obtained approval of an L-1B specialized knowledge petition for an experienced employee transferring from a foreign affiliate to an established Arizona company.

USCIS approved the petition in only 10 business days, five business days before the 15-business-day premium-processing deadline, without issuing a Request for Evidence.

The beneficiary had worked for the foreign affiliate for more than seven years and possessed deep expertise in the organization’s specialized methodology, educational programs and internal processes. After USCIS approved the petition, we also prepared the beneficiary for her visa interview. The interview lasted only a few minutes, and her L-1B visa was approved.

Our detailed case study explains how we documented the qualifying corporate relationship, employment abroad, specialized knowledge and proposed U.S. position.
