United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released statistics [link] for the number of Form I-129 petitions for L1B intracompany transferees [see article] in fiscal year (FY) 2015. Of the petitions that were fully adjudicated in FY 2015, the ratio of approved L1B petitions to denied L1B petitions was approximately 3:1 (10,368 to 3,446). As of the publishing of the chart, there are still 2,116 pending I-129 petitions for L1B intracompany transferees. I have included the chart below for your convenience.
