It can also be used by established multinational companies that need to transfer qualifying managers or executives to an existing U.S. office.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les demandes de visa L-1A n\u00e9cessitent toutefois une planification minutieuse et un dossier complet. L\u2019USCIS ne se limite pas \u00e0 examiner le titre du salari\u00e9. La demande doit d\u00e9montrer le lien entre l\u2019entreprise \u00e9trang\u00e8re et l\u2019entreprise am\u00e9ricaine, l\u2019emploi \u00e9ligible occup\u00e9 par le salari\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger, ainsi que la nature manag\u00e9riale ou de direction du poste occup\u00e9 par ce dernier.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qui peut pr\u00e9tendre \u00e0 un visa L-1A ?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A qualifying foreign business may transfer an executive or manager to a related U.S. company. This can include a foreign company that already has operations in the United States or a company seeking to establish a <strong>new U.S. office<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les entit\u00e9s \u00e9trang\u00e8res et am\u00e9ricaines doivent entretenir une relation d'entreprise \u00e9ligible, telle qu'une relation de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 m\u00e8re, de filiale, de succursale ou de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 affili\u00e9e. De mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, le salari\u00e9 doit \u00e9galement avoir travaill\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger pour une organisation \u00e9ligible pendant au moins une ann\u00e9e cons\u00e9cutive au cours des trois ann\u00e9es pr\u00e9c\u00e9dant son transfert \u00e9ligible aux \u00c9tats-Unis.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L'entreprise \u00e9trang\u00e8re doit poursuivre ses activit\u00e9s pendant que le salari\u00e9 travaille aux \u00c9tats-Unis sous le statut L-1A.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visas L-1A pour les fondateurs qui souhaitent d\u00e9velopper leur activit\u00e9 aux \u00c9tats-Unis<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le visa L-1A peut s'av\u00e9rer particuli\u00e8rement utile pour les fondateurs et les chefs d'entreprise qui souhaitent franchir une nouvelle \u00e9tape dans le d\u00e9veloppement de leur soci\u00e9t\u00e9 en s'implantant aux \u00c9tats-Unis.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le fait d\u2019\u00eatre propri\u00e9taire de l\u2019entreprise n\u2019emp\u00eache pas n\u00e9cessairement un fondateur de remplir les conditions requises pour b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier du statut L-1A. Toutefois, les dossiers concernant les fondateurs et les propri\u00e9taires n\u00e9cessitent une documentation minutieuse de la structure de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, de la relation \u00e9ligible entre les entreprises, de la viabilit\u00e9 des activit\u00e9s et des responsabilit\u00e9s de direction ou de gestion du demandeur.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les demandes d'ouverture de nouveaux bureaux font l'objet d'un examen particuli\u00e8rement minutieux. L\u2019entreprise doit g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement d\u00e9montrer qu\u2019elle dispose de locaux suffisants pour ses activit\u00e9s aux \u00c9tats-Unis et que, dans un d\u00e9lai d\u2019un an, ces activit\u00e9s permettront de pourvoir un poste de direction ou de cadre. Un plan d\u2019affaires d\u00e9taill\u00e9, une structure organisationnelle, des pr\u00e9visions d\u2019embauche, des documents financiers, des contrats et des preuves des activit\u00e9s de l\u2019entreprise \u00e9trang\u00e8re peuvent donc constituer des \u00e9l\u00e9ments importants de la demande.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combien de temps peut-on conserver le statut L-1A ?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an established U.S. office, L-1A status may generally be granted for an initial period of up to <strong>three years<\/strong>, followed by extensions of up to two years at a time. The maximum period of stay in L-1A status is generally <strong>seven years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A beneficiary coming to the United States to open a new office is generally granted an initial period of <strong>one year<\/strong>. The company must then demonstrate that the U.S. operation has developed sufficiently to support the beneficiary in a qualifying managerial or executive role before an extension may be approved.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For multinational executives and managers who travel frequently, time spent physically outside the United States may, in appropriate circumstances, be <strong>recaptured<\/strong> and added back when calculating the maximum period of L-1 stay. Careful travel records can be important when requesting recapture.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pourquoi la documentation est-elle essentielle dans le cadre d'une demande de visa L-1A ?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les dossiers L-1A peuvent n\u00e9cessiter un volume important de documents. L'USCIS peut examiner de pr\u00e8s les t\u00e2ches quotidiennes effectives du b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaire, identifier les personnes charg\u00e9es des activit\u00e9s op\u00e9rationnelles de l'entreprise, d\u00e9terminer qui le b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaire supervise et \u00e9valuer l'\u00e9tendue de l'autorit\u00e9 dont il dispose au sein de l'organisation.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Une demande bien \u00e9tay\u00e9e peut inclure les registres de propri\u00e9t\u00e9 de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, les organigrammes, les documents relatifs \u00e0 la paie et aux effectifs, les documents comptables, les contrats, les preuves de l'activit\u00e9 de l'entreprise, les descriptions d\u00e9taill\u00e9es des fonctions occup\u00e9es, ainsi que les \u00e9l\u00e9ments d\u00e9montrant le pouvoir de d\u00e9cision du b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaire.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is particularly important when USCIS issues a <strong>Demande de pi\u00e8ces justificatives (RFE)<\/strong> questioning whether a position is truly managerial or executive. An effective RFE response should address USCIS\u2019s specific concerns with detailed factual explanations and supporting evidence rather than relying on job titles or general descriptions of responsibility.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nous traitons les demandes de renseignements compl\u00e9mentaires (RFE) complexes ainsi que les demandes initiales de visa L-1A.<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">N'h\u00e9sitez pas \u00e0 contacter notre cabinet pour discuter de votre situation particuli\u00e8re et obtenir davantage d'informations.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-neve-link-hover-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-neve-link-hover-color-background-color has-background\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For entrepreneurs who have built a successful business abroad and are ready to expand into the United States, the L-1A visa can provide an important pathway for bringing leadership to the U.S. operation.
