Our firm successfully assisted the founder of a mobile internet technology company with an overseas user base of hundreds of millions in obtaining approval for a U.S. L-1A (Intra-company Transferee Executive or Manager) visa. The L-1A visa requires the applicant to hold a decisive, managerial core position within a multinational organization. Especially for a U.S. "New Office," USCIS strictly scrutinizes whether the applicant can detach from specific, trivial daily operations to truly fulfill high-level executive duties. In this case, as the visionary leader of a Chinese high-tech enterprise, the applicant's background in building a global product matrix from the ground up was key to proving their ability to develop new business in the United States.
The applicant, the founder of a well-known domestic mobile desktop ecosystem and tool-based app development company, previously led their team to achieve the remarkable feat of ranking #1 in the App Store across more than 150 countries. When preparing the materials, our legal team did not limit the focus to their past engineering and development capabilities; instead, we focused on constructing their authority framework as an "Executive." We provided a detailed demonstration of how they implement indirect management through various department heads (Product/R&D, Operations, Finance, HR, and Customer Service Managers), thereby ensuring they remain fully focused on top-level corporate strategy, global capital allocation, and international brand positioning.
Regarding the business plan for the new U.S. company—which incorporates their self-developed "Scenario-based AI Learning Architecture" and "AI App Factory" models—we emphasized how the applicant utilizes the parent company's technical foundation and financial support to establish a high-efficiency professional talent echelon in Silicon Valley. Through precise job characterization and a rigorous evidence chain of business planning, this case was successfully approved, laying a solid legal foundation for the enterprise's entry into the North American AI consumer application market.
