Hey Peter, We're a company based out of Turkey but have also incorporated in the US with a single US employee making ~700K/ARR as of last year. We're thinking of getting an L1-A to move some of our staff and myself to the US. Do you think we would be eligible for L1-A as of yet?

Yes, it's possible, but you'll likely have a fight on your hands with USCIS because of the newness and size of the U.S. company. But I would still fight the fight if this is something that you want to do to grow the business.

That's the whole idea. Thanks.

An E-2 also might be an option if the U.S. company is majority Turkish owned. We've done this for a number of Turkish entrepreneurs/companies.
