L1/L2 Visa Appointment Guide
L1 intra-company transfer visa and L2 dependent visa appointment guide for India — scheduling, coordinating family, and meeting assignment start dates.
L1 is the US intra-company transfer visa for employees moving within the same multinational company; L2 covers their spouse and children. Booking follows the standard OFC and Consular flow in India, and timing is often tied to a specific project or assignment start date at the US office. AppointVisa is a US visa appointment assistance service for applicants in India, handled by a dedicated booking team. Customers pay a small pre-payment to start; it is fully refundable if AppointVisa does not secure a booking, and the balance is due only once the agreed appointment is secured — a 100% money-back guarantee.
- L1 = intra-company transfer employee; L2 = spouse and children.
- Same OFC + Consular appointment flow as other work-visa categories.
- Timing is often tied to a specific assignment start date.
- AppointVisa coordinates L1 and L2 family appointments together.
Who needs L1 vs L2
L1 is for the transferring employee; L2 covers their accompanying spouse and children. Both need their own appointments, though they're commonly coordinated for the same city and timeframe.
Meeting assignment deadlines
L1 transfers are usually tied to a specific project or office assignment start date, which makes securing an appointment with enough runway important.
Coordinating the family
When L2 dependents are applying alongside the L1 employee, planning city and timing together reduces the chance of a mismatched schedule.

Frequently asked questions
Do L1 and L2 applicants need separate appointments?
Yes, each applicant has their own appointment, though AppointVisa coordinates timing and location across the family where possible.
Can L1/L2 appointments be booked in different cities?
Yes — OFC and Consular locations are independent for every category, including L1/L2.
