L1B Visa for a skilled worker in an affiliate company

[LauLau]

Hi Everyone,

I am a travel agent that used to work at CAA ( Canadian Automobile Association) for 5 years and I am been offered a job to work for the AAA ( American Automobile Association ) witch is an affiliate company. My concern is there is not much documentation about if the L1 visa can apply for an affiliate company. Anybody could give me their advice ? My concern is their is no link between the 2 company in their annual statement, but they really are affiliate company.

Thanks,

Lau

You must meet the defination of affliate as it described in CFR 8 PART 204.5. If not... it seems highly unlikely to get the L1

here is the textAffiliate means:



(A) One of two subsidiaries both of which are owned and controlled by the same parent or individual;



(B) One of two legal entities owned and controlled by the same group of individuals, each individual owning and controlling approximately the same share or proportion of each entity; or



(C) In the case of a partnership that is organized in the United States to provide accounting services, along with managerial and/or consulting services, and markets its accounting services under an internationally recognized name under an agreement with a worldwide coordinating organization that is owned and controlled by the member accounting firms, a partnership (or similar organization) that is organized outside the United States to provide accounting services shall be considered to be an affiliate of the United States partnership if it markets its accounting services under the same internationally recognized name under the agreement with the worldwide coordinating organization of which the United States partnership is also a member.
