The L-1 is very easy through a large multinational company after a year of employment with that company outside the U.S. and is attainable although more difficult through a small multinational company. The other options are the E-2 (treaty investor visa), which could allow you to work for a British-owned company in the U.S., or the O-1 (extraordinary ability visa), which requires a relatively high level of achievement but is often attainable by talented professionals.
- abafterratic872 1y agoThanks Peter, all very useful to know. I wasn't aware of the E-2 visa. How does one justify extraordinary ability for the O-1, if pursuing that route? I can see it varying a signifcant amount between applicants, but what (if any) successful justifications have you seen?
- proberts 1y agoYes, it varies significantly from applicant to applicant. Justifying extraordinary ability is more about checking certain boxes/criteria than extraordinary ability per se and so, in the end, it's usually pretty clear whether or not someone qualifies.
