How are the odds for bringing your remote employees to US using the L1 visa? They've worked for us for more than 5 years in management role. Also the startup got acquired sometime ago, does that impact the L1 application?

If these employees manage other employees now and will manage other employees in the U.S., then the odds are high actually. Conversely, if these employees aren't managing any employees and won't be managing any employees in the U.S., then, unless their work is highly complex and technical, the odds are low. Does the acquiring company also own the company abroad?

yup - some documentation/legal work remains but they should be able own the company abroad as a subsidiary soon.

how would you suggest we should pursue this once all the paperwork is done? hire an immigration lawyer? any recommendations? we are non-YC.
