Success! We recently had an L1A Visa Approved at US Embassy Finland for the executive of a recruitment company located in Florida. The US Consulate in Finland approved the L1A visa for the maximum period allowed, following a short L1A visa interview. The overall processing time for the L1A visa at US Consulate Finland was 2 weeks.
In this case, the L1A visa interview was short and the consular officer did not ask many questions. The L1A visa interview focused on the applicant’s qualifications for the US position, including their duties, management experience and work history. In addition, the consular officer asked questions related to the applicant’s immigration history.
L1A Visa
The L1A Visa is a dual intent nonimmigrant visa that allows foreign businesses, investors and entrepreneurs who want to expand their operations in the United States to send an executive or manager to the United States to establish a new office or join an existing office.
The L1A Visa also allows US companies to transfer an executive, manager or employee with specialized knowledge from one of its affiliated foreign offices to one of its offices in the United States. Multiple entries into the US are permitted on an L1A Visa.
The initial L1A Visa for Canadian citizens can be processed directly at a port of entry or preclearance locations. To find out more about this topic visit our L-1 visa for Canadians page here. The L1A visa holders can transition from L1A visa to green card. The L1A visa holders can also go from L1A visa to EB-1C green card if requirements are met.
