Answer
Blanket L1 allows qualifying companies to transfer employees faster:
- Company must meet qualifying criteria (size, volume of L1s, etc.)
- Employees can get L1 without individual petition
- Faster processing at U.S. consulate
- Still need to meet L1 requirements (1 year abroad, managerial/specialized knowledge)
Benefits: Faster processing, no USCIS petition needed, direct consulate processing.
