Companies
U.S. companies can employ professionals from abroad when they meet a set of requirements. These professionals can legally enter and work in the U.S. for an established period under a non-immigrant visa (temporary visa). If the employer and the employee intend for a more permanent stay, it may also apply for an immigrant visa (“GREEN CARD”) in some circumstances.

Executives & Managers
An employer may apply for a nonimmigrant visa (temporary visa) or immigrant visa (“green-card”) for executives or managers who are being transferred from a foreign branch to the U.S.-branch (L1A or EB1C), or, at times, for the opening of a new branch in the United States (L1A only).
