I am being transferred to the US
Many people assume that if you are being transferred to a United States office of a foreign company, there is no real requirement for a visa. However, the truth is just the opposite. Even if you are being transferred to the United States by your employer, you require a visa. In this situation, when a business is expanding to the United States, the visa is the L1 visa. 
This visa is a visa that is meant for international transfer of employees and the expansion of business, and there are many criteria that must be met to be eligible for one.
Am I eligible for an L1 visa for the United States?
Employees who apply for an L1 visa must be a manager, specialized knowledge employee, or executive of the foreign company in question. They cannot be a new employee, and will have to have worked at the company for at least one year within the last three years, full time.
After the transfer, the foreign company must remain in business actively outside of the United States – the business is not moving to the United States, only expanding into the United States.
The company must also be related to the United States company in a certain way, such as being a parent company, affiliate company, subsidiary company, joint venture partner or branch of the company.

I highly recommend VisaPlace to anyone seeking help with navigating the legal minefield that is Permanent Residency. As someone who is very easily stressed, Lauren & Mariana have saved me a lot of sleepless nights. They are fast, efficient, reliable and honest and I will be telling any of my friends to use them for immigration. Thanks to them, my future with my husband in Canada is bright
