Can I bring more than one manager at the same time through the L-1A?

Yes. The L-1A is the intracompany transfer route for managers and executives of a foreign company that is opening or expanding a branch, subsidiary, or affiliate in the United States. There is no rule limiting a company to a single transferee at a time: it may petition for multiple managers or executives simultaneously.

What matters is that each transfer stands on its own. Because petitions are evaluated individually by USCIS, each applicant must demonstrate their own qualifying profile rather than simply being part of a group.

• Each manager or executive requires a separate petition.
• The person must demonstrate that they genuinely hold a managerial or executive role.
• A qualifying period of employment with the company abroad must be shown, assessed on a case-by-case basis.
• The corporate relationship between the foreign company and the U.S. entity must be clearly established.

Bringing several managers at the same time is a legitimate strategy, but each case depends on consistent documentation of the roles and corporate structure. Because criteria are analyzed individually, it is worth confirming current requirements with USCIS and reviewing each profile with a specialist before filing.
