Is there a wage requirement for an L-1 Visa?

Unlike the H-1B Visa, there is no prevailing wage or minimum wage requirement for the L-1 Visa. The reviewing officer has the discretion to determine if the employee would become a “public charge” while in the United States under the L-1 Visa due to a non-liveable wage. In other words, unless the wage is excessively low, the wage cannot be the sole reason for the denial of an L-1 Visa.
