будьте любезны указать что именно это за "огромная разница"
в плане L1 ??? а пока
я приведу информацию из источника заслуживающего доверия:
http://www.murthy.com/l1visa.html
Overseas companies that have or wish to establish U.S. offices may need to transfer executive, managerial, or specialized personnel to the U.S.
The L-1 Visa (Intra-company Transferee) enables these key employees to be posted temporarily at the U.S. parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or branch office. The foreign professional must have worked for the foreign company for at least 1 year within the 3 years prior to coming to the U.S. in an executive, managerial, or specialized-knowledge capacity, and the U.S. position must also fit into one of those 3 categories. For a large, multinational company needing to transfer people frequently, a Blanket L-1 approval pre-qualifies the employer to bring in L-1 professionals relatively quickly.
Brief Background of L-1
Congress created the L-1, intra-company transferee, classification in 1970. Its main purpose was to enable large organizations with international operations to shift certain personnel to the United States temporarily, even if the jobs they fill are not temporary in character. The main impetus was to enable large, multinational companies to function in the U.S. by allowing them to bring in critical personnel from abroad. The category allowed for the transfer of senior executives or managers, as well as "specialized knowledge" workers. Executives and managers are categorized as L1As and specialized knowledge workers are L1Bs. These specialized knowledge workers are individuals who are not executives or managers, but who possess valuable specialized knowledge of the company's product or advanced knowledge of processes and procedures within the company.
