When dealing with L visas, it is important to understand that USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) carefully evaluates the relationships between the foreign company and its U.S. branch or subsidiary. This process requires that the information presented in the application be clear and consistent with the documents provided.
USCIS normally bases its analysis on the records, documents, and forms submitted in the process. Generally, they do not have a practice of systematically calling foreign companies to verify the data. However, if there are any inconsistencies or significant doubts about the truthfulness of the information or the relationship between the entities, the officer responsible for the review may contact the foreign company directly.
This potential verification may occur to confirm details essential for proving the corporate link required for the L visa. It is crucial to remember that the immigration process demands strict compliance with U.S. immigration laws and regulations. Therefore, it is advisable that applicants seek information from reliable sources and, whenever necessary, have the guidance of specialized professionals-bearing in mind that you should avoid any service or marketing campaign that promises results without assessing the specific situation of your case.
Keeping all information up to date and presenting documentation clearly is key to a successful review process. Thus, besides ensuring rules are being followed, you avoid surprises and possible complications in your visa application.
