US Immigration Lawyer
Sidney N. Lachter

To a certain extent, the economic health of every nation in the world relies upon the presence of multi-national corporations and foreign investment.

America is no different.

I have extensive experience in helping businesses and individual investors with the complex rules and requirements of the visa process. My clients come from across the globe and I provide them with guidance and expertise to obtain their business-based visas.

Tucson Immigration Law Attorney
U.S. visas related to business include, for example, the B-1, the L-1A, L-1B, and E-2. Of these, the B-1 type can be obtained most easily, and in many cases right at the border. The others require more in planning and additional requirements.

The E-2 or foreign investor visa is available to a treaty investor from any of the approximately 75 foreign countries with which the U.S. holds investor treaties. Foreign citizens who have a substantial investment or who are in the process of investing a substantial amount of money in a U.S. business concern are eligible to apply. Investors may also apply to bring a spouse and minor children.

These visas are required to be renewed every 5 years but may last indefinitely. Through a different type of investor visa, an invester can become eligible to self-petition for a green card.

The L-1 category is essentially a work permit and pertains to the executives and managers (L-1A), and specialized workers (L-1B) of multi-national companies. These are temporary, nonimmigrant visas for intra-company transfers.  An L-1A visa can serve as a stepping stone to a green card.
