Additionally, you must have worked in this company for at least one full year in the past three years prior to your entry to the US.

For example, the L1-A visa allows holders to work up to seven years, but you cannot exceed this for any reason. This contrasts from visas such as the H-1B or J-1 which allows extensions past the maximum. Some visas even allow unlimited extensions such as the O-1 and E2 visas &#8212; however, L1 visa holders must deal with the limit that they are only granted one extension after their first three years of stay.

This stands in contrast to visas such as the H-1B visa which allows any United States employer to employ you. This rule, however, excludes businesses too small to have international branches, and small business owners.
