我的公司可以把我从海外办公室调到美国吗?
有可能。L-1 签证允许跨国公司将符合条件的高管、经理或具有专业知识(specialized knowledge)的员工,从海外办公室调派至其关联的美国实体工作。与 H-1B 不同,L-1 不受年度名额限制,也无需参加抽签。
要符合 L-1 资格,美国公司与海外公司之间必须存在符合要求的关联关系(qualifying corporate relationship)。此外,申请人通常还必须在申请前的三年内,曾在符合条件的海外实体连续工作至少一年。
申请人在美国所担任的职位也必须属于管理职位(managerial)、高管职位(executive)或专业知识职位(specialized knowledge)。因此,L-1 申请能否获批,通常既取决于美国与海外公司的组织架构和关联关系,也取决于申请人的职位和职责是否符合要求。

L-1A is for executives and managers, while L-1B is for employees with specialized knowledge of the company’s products, services, processes or operations. Job title alone does not determine the category — USCIS looks at your actual duties, level of authority, reporting structure and, for L-1B, the nature and depth of your specialized knowledge. The distinction also affects the evidence required and may affect future green card options, so choosing the right category is important before filing.
Yes. EB-1C provides a green card path for qualifying multinational executives and managers and is often considered for employees working in the U.S. in L-1A status.
It is a separate immigrant petition with its own requirements, including:
- Qualifying employment abroad
- A qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign companies
- A managerial or executive role in the United States
L-1A status can be a natural starting point, but it does not automatically qualify someone for EB-1C.
