The L Visa can be used in two capacities, the one being to exchange employees between a Foreign and U.S. based company that has already been established. The second use allows persons who have a business in a foreign country, assuming other requirement's are met as well, to enter the U.S. to open a new affiliate business and bring over an employee of the Foreign company to the newly established U.S. operation.
