Answer
L1 processing time varies:
- USCIS petition: 2-4 months (regular) or 15 days (premium processing - $2,500)
- Consulate processing: 1-4 weeks after petition approval
- Blanket L1: Direct consulate processing, 1-2 weeks
Total time: Typically 3-6 months from filing to visa in hand. Premium processing recommended for faster processing.
