ANSWER: Not automatically. You can change your status to permanent residency, in which case your spouse would be able to work on her green card. Speed is crucial since green cards take time. Your spouse could also change from TD (dependent of a TN) to a temporary working visa. This is the same for L-2 (L-1 dependent), E-4 (E-2 dependent) and H-4 (H-1 dependent) spouses.

Answer: Regular L-1 status must be extended through the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) Regional Service Center having jurisdiction over the work location. That office extends the I-94 card. After the extension is approved a Consular Visa revalidation can be applied for, to permit international travel. Foreign travel during extension petition processing is not recommended, but may be possible in some cases. See similar questions...

Answer: Any US Company with the requisite relationship to a foreign company may sponsor a qualified employee for regular L-1 Visa. The regular L-1 paperwork is filed with the Regional Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) Center that has jurisdiction over the US geographic area where the candidate will be working.

Answer: If an L-1A employee has used up all 7 years of eligibility, or if an L-1B employee has used up all 5 years of eligibility (without securing US Resident Alien "green card" status prior to expiration of the maximum period, or securing adjustment of status interim work authorization), he/she must depart the US and remain outside the U.S for 1 full year.

ANSWER: Good question. Many people look at the name of the visa, "The L-1 Intracompany Transferee", and say "It's not for me. . .I'm not being transferred to the U.S." They feel it's not for part-time work. In fact, as long as you are performing services for the U.S. subsidiary, you can still be paid through the overseas parent. (Of course, you can be paid from the U.S. subsidiary, if you'd like. The INS may find it easier to deal with, if your salary comes from the U.S. See similar questions...
