Foreign nationals from all countries are eligible. The L-1A visa permits a foreign company to transfer a manager or executive to the US to oversee operations. The business activities of the foreign parent company and US company do not need to be related. L-1As are granted between 1 to 3 years and can be extended up to 7 years. L-1As can lead to a green card through the EB-1C visa.
