Start-Ups to Fortune 100 Companies: Our Firm Helps Companies and Individuals with Visas

The rules can be complicated, the deadlines are strict, and even small errors can delay a hire, a launch, or a family’s move. Whether you run a start-up hoping to recruit a specialist, lead a multinational company relocating an executive, or plan to invest in an American business, the right legal strategy can protect your goals and give you peace of mind.

- You’re a foreign professional with a U.S. job opportunity: You have received or are pursuing an offer but are unsure what must happen before you can begin work.
- You’re an entrepreneur starting, buying, or franchising a U.S. business: You plan to launch and operate a company, and you need to understand your immigration options before investing money or signing agreements.
- Your established overseas company is expanding into the United States: Your business plans to open a U.S. office and send an owner, executive, or manager, and you need an immigration strategy that supports your leadership and growth plans.
- You are an investor pursuing permanent residence through investment: You want to build a lasting future in the U.S. for yourself and your family, and you need to confirm whether your investment supports that goal.

Our Business Immigration Services
We help companies and individuals with all types of employment-based immigration, from a single specialty-occupation hire to company-wide global mobility strategies.
Non-Immigrant (Temporary) Employment Visas
We assist with all types of non-immigrant employment-based visas. That includes specialty occupation workers, intra-company transfers for multinational executives and managers, and classifications for athletes, artists, and entertainers. If you are unsure which category fits your role or your candidate, we can help you compare the options and choose the strongest path.
Investor and Treaty Visas
For those who want to build a business presence in the U.S., we handle investor visas and options tied to substantial trade between the United States and another country. We review your investment, funding history, and business plan to determine which path best supports your goals.
Permanent Residence Through Employment or Investment
We guide companies and individuals toward Lawful Permanent Resident status through employment and through investment. This can involve PERM labor certification, prevailing wage determinations, the I-140 immigrant petition, and final green card filings.

FAQs About Business, Entrepreneur, and Investor Immigration
Often, yes, but it depends on the position, the candidate’s qualifications, and the visa category involved. We review the role and the candidate together to determine whether sponsorship is possible and what your business would need to provide.
Investor paths generally require a qualifying investment, a lawful source of funds, and, in some cases, job creation. We evaluate your investment amount, funding history, and business plan to determine whether an investor visa or permanent residence through investment may better fit your goals.
Established foreign companies expanding into the United States often transfer an owner, executive, or manager to lead the new operation using an L visa, but options can vary. We build an immigration strategy around your expansion and leadership plans so the right people can be in place on time.
A job change, promotion, or new work location can affect a worker’s visa or green card process. If you or your employee are considering a change, reach out early so we can protect the underlying status and plan the next step.
As early as possible. Many employment-based cases involve strict deadlines, annual caps, or multi-step processes, so starting early gives you and your legal team time to prepare a strong case and avoid unnecessary disruptions to hiring or operations.
