Helping Businesses and Professionals Take Advantage of Opportunity

Our firm continues to work with businesses and individuals in obtaining the following employment based non-immigrant visas:

E1 Visa

Allows a foreign national to enter the US in order to conduct a substantial amount of trade. According to law, half of the trade conducted in the US under the E1 visa must be with the home-country of the E1 holder.

E2 Visa

Allows a foreign national who invests substantial personal funds in a business to enter the US. The business must be operating or very close to operating. In order to determine if an investment is "substantial," the State Department or Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services will apply a proportionality test to the investment planned.

H-1B Visa

Enables skilled professionals in specialized occupations to enter the US in order to perform work requiring the special skills and knowledge they offer.

L-1 Visa

If a foreign company has a branch office in the US, employees can enter the US under the L1 visa in order to complete special projects and assignments. In most cases, the L1 visa is used for executive and management level foreign employees.

TN Visa

Mexican and Canadian professionals interested in working for a US employer can enter the country under the TN visa. Since the TN visa is intended for professionals, applicants must provide proof of applicable degrees, licenses or work experience.

O-1 Visa

Artists, athletes, performers and persons of extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, entertainment and business can enter the US under the O1 visa. Even though the O1 is not a "dual intent" visa, it does permit holders to apply for citizenship.

P-Class Visas

The P-class visas allow entertainers, artists and athletes to enter the country in order to participate in events, competitions or performances. P-class visas are temporary and can be applied for on an individual and team basis. The P4 visa allows holders of a P1, P2 or P3 visa to bring family members along for the duration of their stay.
