Will I be eligible for L1?

No you won't be eligible since as per L1 guidelines you are transferred to USA from a Non US country office of the same employer. However, you can check with your company attorney.

 

L1 is called Intra company transfer. An employee deputed to work in US office of the same company.

Two key things that you should answer Guru82

 

1. Does your employer have office in India and USA. Because L1 is a transfer from India Office to USA Office. If not then you are not eligible.

 

2. Secondly is your employer registered in India. If not then you are not eligible for L1.

Hi,

 

Thank you all for the replies.

 

I am working for an US employer and being paid in US.

 

But currently residing in India.

 

Thanks.

 

Your employer is right. You will be eligible to apply for H1B visa in FY2017 in the first week of April 2016.

 

If you get H1B then you can start working for them in USA from October 1 '2016.

 

You do not qualify for L1 visa.
