Visas for Investors & Entrepreneurs: The Key Players

• L-1 visas
• US Visas for Indian Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and Investors

Which Visa Meets Your Business and Personal Needs?

Every case and every client’s business is different. The choice of which visa is most appropriate has to be a decision made after an enormous amount of interaction and consultation with each client. This choice varies by type of business, industry and the personal circumstances and long-term goals of each client. Sometimes the choice between certain visa types is not finalized until we have completed the asset tracing and business plan preparation in a case

100% Approval Rate for EB-5, L-1 E-2 and E-1 Visas to Date

While there can never be guarantees in immigration cases, in our fifteen years of experience we have never had an EB-5, L-1, E-2 or E-1 visa application denied. We believe the reason for this is that rather than use “stock” solutions we truly work with individuals to sculpt a unique solution to their investment immigration needs.

Use of a B1 Visas in Business Immigration Strategy

A B1 visa can be a very flexible way for an investor or business owner to conduct due diligence on starting their business in the United States. While it is unlawful for the holder of a B1 visa to manage or operate their business while in B1 visa status, they can conduct business meetings, investigate setting-up a business and meet with potential employees, vendors and clients.

Clients in B-1 status whose plans change and who wish to remain in the United States after entering the country on a B-1 visa can apply for change of status to E-2 (Treaty Investor Visa), E-1 (Treaty Trader Visa), L-1 or EB-5 Status. There are however complex issues associated with intent and visa misuse to navigate and we recommend that anyone contemplating this strategy consult with an experienced immigration lawyer.

Moving from an L-1 or E visa to a Green Card

It is a myth that E visa holders cannot transition to green cards. While a transition from an E visa to an investment green card is usually made through the EB-5 program we have accomplished this through other routes. E visas need to be set-up and managed in a very careful and in a very precise way in order to position a client to later move to the EB5 program. Too often we are approached by clients who did not receive appropriate advice on this topic and are consequently unable to transition to the EB5 program.

Transitioning from an L-1 visa to investment green card in the USA is considerably easier and can be accomplished through a work-based petition in addition to use of the EB-5 program.
