Book excerpt: The L-1 visa program facilitates the temporary transfer of foreign nationals with management, professional, and specialist skills to the U.S. This report examined the potential for fraud or abuse in the L-1 intracompany transferee visa program. Through domestic and international fieldwork, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of State consular officials were observed processing L-1 petitions and visas. Also, 71 managers and staff in DHS and the Department of State were interviewed. Although DHS's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations provide guidance regarding the definition of specialized knowledge, they are insufficient to ensure consistent application of L-1 visa program requirements in processing visas and petitions. This report includes 10 recommendations to improve the integrity of the L-1 visa program. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
