Restrictions
for L1B Workers for the Specialized Knowledge? |
| Hi
William, As a U.S. employer, we want to hire some foreign workers with L1B visa to work at our client site, as an alternative to the H1B. What are the USCIS' restrictions for L1B workers for the "specialized knowledge" of the company and the products/service? Answer, To work at your client site, the L1B beneficiaries should be supervised by a person from the L1B-sponsoring employer, the restriction may apply if the L1B beneficiaries are not doing work that requires specialized knowledge. For example, if a company primarily contracts out employees to various projects that do not require the specialized knowledge possessed by the L1B beneficiary, the L1B petition will not be approved. Thus, the L1B is not always available as an alternative to the H1B. These restrictions are designed to eliminate the practice of characterizing workers as L1B specialized-knowledge workers, when their work could have been performed by workers without any particular experience or familiarity with the company or its products. |
