L1 Visa but also Shareholder in LLC

[marcozorro 0]

Hi

I am just about to apply for an L1 visa to transfer to a parent company in NYC, in my spare time I have been working for a different LLC company as a freelancer.

Do I need to stop working for the LLC company should I get granted my L1 visa status?

Thanks

As long as you do not work for the LLC whilst in the US no problem.

When in the U.S. on L-1 you can only work for your employer that sponsored the L-1. If you are performing work in the U.S. for which you get paid, even if it’s paid abroad, it could be considered work and a violation of your status.

Here are the best guides to know about L-1 Visa:
