Re: l 1 visa

No, an L-1 visa is specific to the employer you are working for. It can only be transferred to another company owned by your foreign or U.S. employer. But keep in mind that there are other alternatives for professional workers, with a Bachelor's degree or many years of experience. An H-1B visa may be an option in this case.
