We just had an L-1B approval with U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services. The applicant was granted L-1B status for 3 years and the business is a coffee wholesaler. The applicant is a Q-Grader. Q-Graders are specialized and credentialed professionals who analyze the visual aspect, smell, roast & taste of coffees & are specially trained in coffee cupping. Under the current Presidential Proclamation, the issuance of most L-1 visas is prohibited through December 31, 2020, however individuals in the U.S. who are eligible to change status are still permitted to apply for L-1 status.
