L-1

A successful L-1 plan must show authorities why the beneficiary is essential to the company’s U.S. operations and how the company can support their salary and role.

It also must show authorities that the company not only can support a managerial or executive role, but that it actually requires one to succeed.

Our L-1 plans focus closely on the beneficiary’s strengths, skills, and role at the U.S. company to satisfy these requirements. We include an in-depth discussion of their background and qualifications and how they fit their position, as well as the link between the beneficiary’s skills and the company’s overall success. Data-backed financial modeling and in-depth market research makes it clear exactly why the foreign entity needs the beneficiary to operate their U.S. office, and how it will support their role long-term.

We’ve written hundreds of successful L-1 visa business plans, so we know exactly what kinds of job duties are relevant and can clearly link the beneficiary’s skills and background to those duties. We’re equally comfortable working from existing job descriptions or collaborating with legal teams to craft new job descriptions that capture the complexity of a beneficiary’s role. We routinely customize plans for circumstances like new U.S. offices, transfers to an existing company, or renewing L-1 visas that are about to expire. 

All Pinnacle L-1 plans include:

  • A clear, complete description of the business, operational and marketing plan, and management team.
  • In-depth job descriptions for the beneficiary and other management positions, and a detailed outline of how the beneficiary meets L-1 program requirements.
  • Compliant with all L-1 visa requirements as well as current USCIS policies, memos, and observed trends in Requests for Evidence.
  • A detailed industry- and location-specific market analysis to realistically and credibly support revenue claims.
  • A 5-year pro forma financial model with claims supported by past performance and/or industry data.
