We work with international business people preparing visa cases so that a visa officer can clearly understand how the business works, determine its profitability, and see why it qualifies for a Business Immigration visa.
E1 Visa: Treaty Trader
The E1 visa is for nationals from countries with which the US has a treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation who are coming to the US to engage in substantial trade between the US and the alien's country of nationality. The E1 visa employee must hold a supervisory or executive position or have skills which are essential to the successful operation of the enterprise. The E1 visa is initially valid for two years and may be extended indefinitely.
E2 Visa: Treaty Investor
The E2 visa is designed for aliens engaged in international investment between the United States and the alien’s country of nationality. E2 visa holders must make a active and substantial investment as well as perform an essential role in the enterprise that results in the creation of job opportunities for US workers. There is no set amount an E2 visa holder must invest as it depends on the type of enterprise. The E2 visa is initially valid for two years and may be extended indefinitely.
L1 Visa: Intra-Company Transfer
The L1 visa is for executives or employees with specialized skills of multinational companies who are being transferred from an office overseas to a US office. The visa may also be used by a manager or executive to open a new office in the US. The L1 visa is initially valid for three years and can be extended to a total stay of five years. There is no prevailing wage requirement for the L1 visa.
Although the L1 visa was deigned for large multinational corporations, it may also be used by smaller companies.
