Glow in the dark hero!
The London based company that I work for has an office in New York and has been there for a few years. We've transferred people to the US under an E1 "trade treaty" visa, however I am the first non-UK employee to require a transfer (I'm a Dutch citizen). According to our lawyer (who is vague at the best of times) I cannot get an E1 visa and need an L1 visa, provided I can prove I have "special skills".

My question is, how does one prove one has special skills? I work as an IT professional and am only being considered for relocation due to my experience in the company.

Do immigration officers really research exactly what it is you do? Or do they just take a wild stab at how important you are by looking at your salary?
