Business and Investor Visas
Business and investor visas serve as the gateway for foreign entrepreneurs and financiers seeking to bring their unique skill sets, innovation, and capital to the United States. Whether you’re considering short-term business visits or significant investments, understanding the nuances of each visa type, as well as the requisite legal criteria and procedural protocols, is crucial for a successful application. The Towne Law Firm, P.C. offers legal assistance through this complicated legal landscape, securing a path to successful business operations in the U.S.
Here are some of the specific visas for which we offer comprehensive legal services:
- B-1 Visitors for Business: The B-1 Visa is designed for individuals involved in business activities of a commercial or professional nature, such as attending a business meeting or seminar. It does not permit local employment and is usually granted for a maximum of six months.
- E-1 Treaty Traders: E-1 visas are for individuals or companies engaged in substantial trade between the United States and their home country. To qualify, at least 50% of the total trade volume must be owned by the United States. The visa is renewable as long as the trade continues to meet the requirements.
- E-2 Treaty Investors: The E-2 Visa allows individuals to enter and work in the United States based on a substantial investment in a bona fide enterprise. The investment must be significant, and the investor must have control of the funds and be actively involved in the operation of the enterprise.
- E-3 Specialty Occupation Workers from Australia: The E-3 Visa is exclusive to Australian nationals coming to the U.S. to work in a specialty occupation. To qualify, applicants must possess the necessary credentials and the job must meet specific wage and labor conditions.
