L-1 INTRACOMPANY TRANSFER ENQUIRIES
Moving within your company to the U.S.? Start with a clearer picture.
L-1 enquiries for managers, executives and specialized-knowledge staff transferring within an international company — and for businesses planning a U.S. presence.
Start with your company’s plans.
An L-1 enquiry usually involves two stories at once: your role in the company, and the company’s plans in the United States.
This page introduces the topics you may want to discuss during a professional review. Submitting an enquiry does not establish eligibility or guarantee a visa outcome.
An enquiry is not an application, and this page is not legal advice.

Questions & answers
What is this introductory enquiry for?
It lets you describe your situation and request a professional conversation about this category. It is an enquiry service — not a government application form and not an automated eligibility assessment.
Does submitting the form confirm eligibility?
No. The form only records your enquiry. Whether a category fits your circumstances is something a qualified professional can discuss after reviewing your situation.
Can I enquire while still exploring an idea?
Yes — many enquiries arrive at an early stage. Being open about where you are in your planning makes the first conversation more useful, not less.
What should I prepare for a conversation?
A short description of your plans, your rough timeline, and the questions you want answered. No documents are required for the initial enquiry.
Will I receive a confirmed appointment immediately?
No. The form records your request and contact preferences. Any appointment is arranged separately and confirmed directly with you.
Where can I ask about another visa category?
Use the same form and choose the closest topic, or mention the other category in your message — your enquiry will be directed accordingly.
