    Default What is difference between L1-B blanket and/or L1-B individual petitions?

    Good afternoon,

    As per the title, what is the difference? Initially, I was told that a L1-B blanket petition would be sought for me, then it was recently changed to an L1-B individual petition. I can only imagine that the reason for the change was due to my education. I am still acquiring a degree so it is not completed as of yet. However, I have nearly 8 yrs of relevant experience regarding the company's product and processes.

    I have also been told that my petition was sent without any reference to my education and outside training. Is it possible to obtain an L1-B visa on "specialized knowledge" alone? I was always under the impression that at minimum, 12 years of experience (without degree or evaluated credentials/work experience) was necessary.

    Please advise if you can, and thanks for your assistance in advance.

    An L1B blanket visa is issued for a company. After a company has obtained blanket L visa petition approval, individuals apply for L visa stamps at a United States Consulate abroad by presenting a signed I-129S petition and proof of qualifying employment. With a blanket visa it is not necessary to get USCIS approval for a particular individual, although the individual remains subject to immigration background checks.

    For an L1B individual visa, the approval is specific to the individual. The application for intracompany transfer is filed with the USCIS along with the candidate's documents. Upon approval of the visa, the individual may apply for an L-1 visa stamp at a U.S. Consulate. (As Canadians entering the United States are not required to present an L visa stamp at the border, Canadian citizens may file the petition directly at an INS port of entry.)
