Summary

L-1 Visa (Intracompany Transferee) Reform Act - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act, with respect to L-1 visa (intracompany transferee) nonimmigrant aliens, to:prohibit entry of an alien with specialized knowledge who will be stationed primarily at the worksite of an employer other than the petitioning employer or affiliate, parent, or subsidiary if: (1) the alien will be controlled and supervised principally by such unaffiliated employer; or (2) the alien's placement at the unaffiliated employer's worksite is part of an arrangement to provide labor for such employer rather than the provision of a product or service for which specialized knowledge specific to the petitioning employer is necessary. Eliminates the six-month requirement of prior continuous overseas employment for blanket petitions (thus subjecting all L-1 aliens to a one-year requirement). Directs the Department of Homeland Security to maintain L-1 statistics.
