This has a very full and easy to read explanation about F-1's.

Good Luck and I hope you find it helpful.

I did mean L-1 when I wrote F-1.

Hi,

This is a student visa. Check www.INS.gov for starters as it tells about all the visas and has all the forms and details you need to file for the visa.

Good Luck,
Steve

L-1 Info. from:

http://www.visa-us.com/intranl1.htm

You qualify for an L-1 visa if you have been employed outside the U.S. as a manager, executive or person with specialized knowledge for at least one out of the past three years, and you are transferred to the U.S. to be employed in a similar position. The U.S. company to which you are transferring must be a branch, subsidiary, affiliate or joint venture partner of your non-U.S. employer. The non-U.S. company must remain in operation while you have the L-1 visa. When we use the term non-U.S. company we mean only that it is physically located outside the U.S. Such a company may well be a foreign division of an American-based business or it may have originated in a country outside the U.S. Either one fits our definition of non-U.S. company.

To get an L-1 visa, it is not necessary that either your non-U.S. or prospective U.S. employer be operating in a particular business structure. Many legal forms of doing business are acceptable, including, but not restricted to, corporations, limited corporations, partnerships, joint ventures and sole proprietorships.

Also a good website for more information on L-1.
