Indeed not. No. the bill did not specifically put in the time limitation. but it is very specifically set out in the hearings and the report that: A survey of international corporations indicates that a 3year admission under the proposed "L" type visa would be sufficient. However. this should not be construed as a basis to deny bona fide requests for a renewal or extension. nor should the "L visa holder be barred from due consideration of an application for adjustment of status if he should subsequently decide to seek permanent residence status in the United States. This would conform to the opportunity available to other nonimmigrants.
