Question details
I worked as Dept. Director at a Spanish Hotel from Jan 08-Jul 09. My employment was in the Hotel full-time, but was hired/paid through a consulting firm they employed (and still employ) to manage the operations of that department. I have now been offered a position (Dec 2010) in a similar Managerial/Director job within the Hotel's parent company in the USA but I have not got a US work permit, (I am Spanish). Can I qualify for the L1-blanket visa of the Company, based on my history with their consultant? Do I need to be employed by Hotel in Spain again prior to applying for the L1 visa?
Interesting situation. Not having researched this issue, I am guessing, the only way you can qualify for the L-1 is if you can establish that the hotel in Spain was your "true" employer in that they controlled you, even though your salary was paid by the consulting company.
Hi all, Finally I have got my GC approved. Just yesterday I recieved my card in mail. I am so happy and relieved because it has come in just the right time. Many thanks to everyone at immigration.com. These people are very professional. Specially I would like to thank Prerna, Vijay and Mathew for helping me out throgh out my GC process. I would highly recommend Immigration Law firm to anyone looking for representation in immigration matters. Best thing about them is you can actually talk to the lawyer or your assigned contact person yourself which unlike other law firms is almost impossible.. Great job guys..You are really the best.
