Hi All,

 

I work for a company registered in US and have a office registered in India too from a third party consultancy. My client is now asking me to move to US and my consultancy is unaware whether they can do it or no. Can anyone suggest me in this regard. Can you please write on my email [deleted by VJ Moderation]

 

Thanks in advance.

You Employer would discuss the matter with their Immigration Lawyer.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

That is odd, I am a very small operation but am a LLC.

 

Even more important that they discuss the situation with an Immigration Lawyer, devil is in the details.

Unlikely, not sure how it could be relevant. Not exactly difficult for anybody to set up a company, in the US you can do it online.

The company has to be a US company. It cannot be an Indian company registered in the US nor a US company with a partner in India. An L1 would not work either in the case of you working an external consultant for a US company.

 

I think I am confused about the relationship of the companies. The L1 is very specific, it has to be a US company and the transfer is within the same company.

 

If the US company wants you to move to the US, maybe they should hire you full-time and do an H1-B for you.

Does not have to be a US company and I have seen consultants qualify but there are other issues I think here.

It is not a requirement that it be a US company. However, there must be a specific legal relationship between the companies, either one is a parent company in, one is a subsidiary or they are legally affiliated.  Without knowing the legal relationship, nobody will be able to answer questions about an L visa possibility.
