The Four-Step Journey
Deep-Dive Into Each Stage
Step One

L-1A Business Assessment

Before any filing, business plan, or office setup, a thorough business assessment is the single most important step. We evaluate your existing business and confirm L-1A eligibility — so you don't spend money on a case that won't win.

Business Structure & History

Company age, registration, revenue, employee count, and operational history.

Your Managerial Role

Title, duties, decision-making authority, and supervisory responsibilities.

Qualifying Relationship

Parent-subsidiary, branch, or affiliate relationship between both entities.

US Market Viability

Demand for your product or service, competitive landscape, and growth potential.

Financial Capacity

Available capital and ability to support US operations during setup.

Employment History

One-year continuous employment in a managerial or executive role within the last three years.

Why Most L-1A Petitions Fail

Top denial reasons: failure to prove managerial capacity, insufficient qualifying relationship evidence, and unrealistic business plans. A proper assessment catches these issues before you spend on filing fees. We restructure your case at this stage — not after a denial.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the assessment take?
1–3 business days after we receive your documents. The initial consultation call is 30–45 minutes.
What documents do I need?
Company registration certificates, organizational chart, financial statements (2–3 years), your resume, and a description of your role and responsibilities.
Do you assess businesses outside India?
Absolutely. We serve UAE, UK, Singapore, Nigeria, South Africa, Germany, Canada, Australia, and 30+ countries. L-1A is a global visa category.

Documents Needed

  • Company Registration
  • Financial Statements (2–3 yrs)

Step Two

US Branch Setup

USCIS requires evidence of secured physical premises — not just a virtual address. At USAIS, we don't just advise — we execute, with 16 offices across the United States backing your branch setup.

Entity Formation & Registration

LLC, C-Corporation, or branch office in the optimal state. Articles of Incorporation and all state filings handled.

EIN (Tax ID) Application

Employer Identification Number from the IRS — essential for banking, hiring, and all US tax filings.

US Bank Account Opening

Business checking, savings, and merchant accounts at reputable US institutions.

Physical Office Space

Real office space with lease agreements that satisfy USCIS — from executive suites to full commercial leases.

Registered Agent Services

Every US company needs a registered agent. We provide this or connect you with trusted providers in your state.

US Phone & Business Address

Dedicated US phone number, business mailing address, and professional communication setup.

Our Competitive Advantage: Real US Offices

Unlike any other L-1A advisory, we operate 16 physical offices across the United States. We can host your initial setup, provide meeting rooms for USCIS site visits, and offer on-ground support that no competitor can match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a virtual office for L-1A?
A virtual office alone is generally insufficient. USCIS requires physical premises. We transition to a physical space before filing.
Do I need to be in the US for company registration?
No. We handle everything remotely. You sign documents electronically — we manage all filings from our US offices.
LLC or C-Corporation — which is better for L-1A?
C-Corporation is generally preferred for companies seeking to raise capital, hire many US employees, or pursue EB-1C. LLCs work well for smaller, simpler structures. We advise based on your specific situation.

What We Set Up

  • LLC or C-Corp Formation
  • EIN / Tax ID Number
  • US Business Bank Account
  • Physical Office Space
  • Registered Agent
  • State Compliance Filings

Step Three

Business Plan & USCIS Filing

For new office L-1A petitions, the business plan is arguably the most critical document in your entire filing. USCIS adjudicators use it to evaluate whether your US operation will realistically support an executive or managerial position within one year.

What Our L-1A Business Plan Includes

1

Executive Summary

Company overview, mission, US market opportunity — written to immediately establish credibility with USCIS.

2

Company Description & History

Detailed profile of your foreign company — history, achievements, employees, revenue, and organizational structure.

3

US Market Analysis

Industry research, target market, competitive landscape, market size, and demand analysis for your sector.

4

Organizational Chart & Staffing Plan

Projected org chart showing managerial/executive hierarchy, planned hires, and how you fit as manager/executive.

5

Financial Projections (3–5 Years)

Revenue forecasts, expense budgets, P&L projections, cash flow analysis — conservative, credible, and data-backed.

6

Marketing & Sales Strategy

How you'll acquire US customers — digital marketing, partnerships, trade shows, and go-to-market timeline.

Premium Processing — 15 Calendar Days

We file with USCIS Premium Processing (Form I-907) for a response within 15 calendar days. Standard processing takes 4–8 months. Premium is strongly recommended for business owners who need to relocate quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I write my own business plan?
You can, but immigration business plans require specific elements around organizational hierarchy and managerial capacity evidence that standard plans don't address.
What if my petition gets an RFE?
We analyze the RFE notice, identify gaps, and prepare a comprehensive response — typically within 30 days. Our proactive approach minimizes RFEs in the first place.
How much does premium processing cost?
The USCIS premium processing fee is currently $2,805 (subject to change), plus the standard I-129 filing fee. We handle the I-907 filing for you.

Filing Checklist

  • Form I-129
  • Business Plan
  • Support Letter
  • Office Lease Evidence
  • Financial Statements
  • Beneficiary Resume
  • Qualifying Relationship Docs
  • Form I-907 (Premium)
