Business - Investor - Visas

Af you are coming to the U.S. to do business or invest in the U.S., there are a number of nonimmigrant and immigrant visa options to help you meet the goals. If you are from a country which has a trade treaty with the U.S., you might be eligible for E-1 or E-2 visa status. If you have worked outside of the U.S. for a multi-national corporation for at least 1 year, you might be eligible for L-1 status to come to work for that same company in a U.S. office. If you are coming to the U.S. to research business opportunities or negotiate contracts for a short period of time, you may need to apply for a B-1 business tourist visa. .

An alien with a green card application can obtain two important permits while the case is pending. The first is a temporary work permit known as the Employment Authorization Document (EAD), which allows the alien to take employment in the US. The second is a temporary travel document, advance parole, which allows the alien to re-enter the US.

In addition to these nonimmigrant visa options, there are also permanent residency options for those doing business or investing in the U.S. Multinational Managers and Executives can file for permanent residency in the Employment Based 1st Preference category. Those entrepreneurs or businessmen who invest in the U.S. economy in a way that creates jobs in the U.S. can also qualify for Permanent Residency based on those investments. Please note that the appropriate visa category depends on the nature your business plan and its viability. We recommend that you contact our office so that we can help you assess which immigrant or nonimmigrant visa category is appropriate for your business plans.
