L1 from India for an entrepreneur
Hi folks - I’ve worked in the usa then returned to India and started a company with a sister llc registered in the usa. the company in India has revenues north of 350k. Do you guys know the chances of L1 getting approved for a small business owner ( biz is in exports of usa goods and ai and ml in tech). This question has been killing me lately - any insight would be appreciated!
Agree...very slim chance
You should consult attorneys!
We'll, if you're an owner, it might be more complex. But as a CEO you can try. As a first step you need file a petition to include both companies into the blanket, it's the hardest part, but it's possible if you have a good lawyer.
Yes I’m the founder and ceo and took the company from zero to 350k - dont know if that will help. Not sure about L1 blanket - i thought that was for big companies. We are small with less than 5 team members
I see. Well, USCIS is very unpredictable these days. I guess they may object based on business size.
Is it legal - Yes, you can come on L1A to set up , grow your business Is it possible - Yes, but not easy. You need a good lawyer for sure
Very slim chances. Even Google is getting rejects for L1 nowadays.
ah I see.
Difference is Google employees are not entrepreneurs. Apples and oranges comparison here.
