Despite lax requirements in the law and very little oversight by the federal
agencies in charge, some employers don’t like the red tape associated with
the H-1B visa program. That is why they are finding alternative routes to
import foreign workers.
Take, for example, the L visa program. The L-1 visa is for temporary intra-
company transfers of personnel from a company’s overseas office to its U.S.
offices. A U.S. company may transfer personnel to the U.S. to work in a
managerial, executive, or “specialized knowledge” capacity under the L
visa program. In fiscal year 2013, USCIS approved 11,944 L-1 petitions.
Unlike the H-1B program, there is no cap on the number of L-1 visas that may
be issued each year and there is no requirement that employers pay L-1
workers the locally prevailing wage or even the actual wage being paid to
similarly qualified employees.
The problems with the L visa are not as apparent, especially since USCIS
squashed an internal report that highlighted fraud and abuse. The agency
seemingly didn’t want another black eye as they had with the H-1B program.
