Global Immigration Partners PLLC Announces Critical Clarification: Foreign Executives Can Secure U.S. Entry Through the New Office L-1 Visa—Even Without an Existing U.S. Subsidiary
Firm underscores little-known immigration pathway enabling international businesses to launch U.S. operations from the ground up
Washington, D.C. — January 2026 — Global Immigration Partners PLLC, a leading authority in U.S. business immigration law, is calling attention to a powerful yet often overlooked pathway that allows foreign executives and managers to enter the United States without a pre-established U.S. subsidiary. The New Office L-1 Visa, the firm explains, was created specifically to empower international companies to establish brand-new U.S. operations and transfer key personnel to lead the expansion.
“As companies look for ways to enter the U.S. market, many executives mistakenly believe they must already have a fully functioning U.S. office,” said Co-managing Partner Alexander Jovy at Global Immigration Partners PLLC. “The truth is, the immigration system provides a very direct and accessible route for businesses that are just beginning their American expansion.”
The New Office L-1 Visa allows a foreign company to form a new legal entity in the United States — such as an LLC or corporation — and send a qualifying executive or manager to oversee the setup, staffing, and growth of the new operation. This visa category is particularly valuable for businesses entering the U.S. for the first time.
Key Advantages of the New Office L-1 Visa
No existing U.S. subsidiary required
Rapid processing available through premium processing
No fixed minimum investment threshold
Eligible for renewal as the company grows
Clear pathway to permanent residency under the EB-1C category
To meet the program requirements, the executive must have worked for the foreign company for at least one continuous year within the past three years. The company must also demonstrate the financial ability to support the U.S. operation, secure appropriate office space, and outline a credible business development plan.
“The New Office L-1 remains one of the most flexible and strategic options for companies seeking U.S. market entry,” Jovy added. “It enables executives to be physically present in the United States to build the operation, manage local staff, attract customers, and develop the business.”
Global Immigration Partners PLLC supports clients throughout the entire process — from entity formation and business plan drafting to petition preparation, USCIS filings, and long-term expansion planning. The firm has assisted hundreds of global companies in setting up U.S. operations using L-1 visas and transitioning qualifying executives to green cards.
