Talk:L-1 visa

[edit] Factual errors

This article has quite a few factual errors. I'm going to do my best to clean some of them up, but we should check the regulations to make sure everything is up-to-date. Hwonder talk contribs 22:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've made an initial pass, but I'm not really up to it right now. I think the problem with this article is that in confuses L-1 status with the L-1 visa. Aliens can change status to L-1 from another legal status while in the US and never need an L-1 visa. Because status is conferred by DHS and visas issued by DoS, there is a pretty big difference in the two. I deleted references that visas must be issued in country of citizenship, which is untrue. I also tried to seperate out what consular officers do versus USCIS, but it still reads too technical.

I also commented this paragraph "This often leads to difficulties for applicants, because it means leaving their adopted home in the United States for as long as it takes the embassy to issue their new visa. In particularly busy times of year, this has been known to take several weeks or more. In case visa renewal is denied, the applicant might have trouble returning to the US to finalize their personal and business interests there." as it borders on POV and doesn't seem relevant to discussions of what the L-1 is.
