When you own and operate a company overseas (Nigeria or anywhere else), you may open a branch of the same company in the U.S which would qualify your company's owner or employee for the L1 visa also known as "New Office Visa". The visa allows owners/ managers / employees to relocate to the U.S to run the branch company.

Your company qualifies if:
1. It has been registered with CAC for 3 years or more
2. It currently has 4 or more employees

Other requirements:
i. (L-1A) Owners of the company must own at least 50% of the company to qualify. Owners/Managers will get a 7 year visa, and may apply for permanent residency (aka green card) After the first year.

ii. (L-1B) Employees must prove they have been working for the company for at least 1 year in the past 3 years. Employees will get a 5 year visa and MAY NOT apply for permanent residency. At the end of the 5 year the employee will have to return to Nigeria except if they apply / get another residence status.

iii. During the first year, the "New" U.S company will have to be running and employ at least 4 to 7 employees.
