L1A Renewals
All
I will shortly be applying for a L1A visa, as part of our opening a US branch office of our firm. We are a medium size company and should be able to demonstrate that this is a clear part of our corporate strategy and fits as a key part of our growth strategy. The US business will in effect be a start up aiming to employ a few professional staff in the first year. We will hire one senior US immediatly and then build from there - my guess is maybe a couple more in year one. The question is this - given this kind of plan what is the chance that i will not be able to renew my L1A. The thought of moving out complete with family only to have it not renewed does not bear thinking about. I have heard that London can issue the 1-year but then now renew. Is this principally because the US operation was only ever a ruse or do they really now renew because they "do not see enough growth"? We would not be going if the plan was not to grow - and whilst this clearly focuses the mind it is also not a very helpful aspect in terms of achieveing your goals. Many similar venture can take up to 3-years to hit clear profits (we plan to do it sooner as low capital costs) but even so a year is nothing. I would welcome any thoughts and advice? Thanks Dan |
