Hi,
My company has offered me a position in the US which I have accepted. Now we need to work out visa details and the L-1 visa seems to be made for this situation. However, one of the stipulations is that the employee must have worked for the continually for the company for 1 year. I started with the company five years ago but spent a two year period beginning roughly three years ago for a different company. I have now been with the company for about 10 months. Is it possible to apply for the L-1 visa prior to meeting the 12 month period required provided the date of arrival in the US is after the 1 year mark? I have heard the process generally takes 1-2 months, doesn anyone know if this is accurate?
Thanks.
