When a business needs key talent in the U.S., immigration timelines can make or break operational plans. Our client, the owner of a successful Canadian plumbing company, needed to establish a new U.S. office and relocate quickly to oversee its launch.
Despite being told by others to expect long delays, our team secured L-1 visa approval in less than two months, ensuring the business expansion stayed on track.
The Client’s Challenge
Our client needed to relocate to the U.S. to open and manage a new plumbing office. With tight construction schedules and operational timelines, he could not afford months of delays. Other advisors had warned that approval in under two months for a new office L-1 was unlikely.
Our Strategic Approach
We developed a case strategy that focused on completeness, clarity, and efficiency. Our team:
-
Verified the client’s qualifications as an executive under L-1A standards
-
Collected corporate documentation proving the relationship between the Canadian and newly-formed U.S. entity
-
Included a detailed business plan for the new U.S. office
-
Compiled job descriptions, an organizational chart, lease agreements, and financial projections
-
Filed a clearly organized petition designed for quick review by USCIS
The Result
Despite the complexity of a new office L-1 visa, USCIS approved the petition in under two months – allowing the client to begin operations in the U.S. without disruption.
Client Testimonial
“I do not usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Jeremy and his team. Their expertise and professionalism exceeded my expectations. My L1 visa was successfully processed in less than two months – something I was told by others would not be possible. I highly recommend Jeremy and his team to anyone seeking knowledgeable and efficient immigration assistance.”
What This Case Shows
This success demonstrates how in-depth preparation, strategic legal guidance, and a complete petition package can help overcome processing hurdles—even for new office L-1 cases, which often face more scrutiny. While results can never be guaranteed, strong filings lead to better outcomes.
