Business Immigration Lawyer - Employment Immigration Lawyer

What Types of Employment and Business Visa Cases Does Our Law Firm Handle?

Your right to work and conduct business in the United States is guided by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency (USCIS). Federal law provides multiple classifications for business visas, depending on the background and skills of the applicant and the type of income-generating work they hope to pursue in America. As a business immigration law firm we can help you determine the right visa type for you or your employee, including:

• B-1 Business Visitor: If you are visiting on business, you can obtain a visa for up to six months. However, the visa expires after this period.

• E-1 Treaty Trader: Does your native country have a treaty with the U.S.? If so and you are conducting trade between your country and the U.S., this visa could be a good fit for you.

• E-2 Treaty Investor: If your country of origin has a treaty with the U.S. and you plan to invest major capital in a commercial venture, you may seek an E-2 visa as long as you also plan to develop and/or direct the venture.

• H-1B Specialty Occupation: Some workers who have special occupations that are needed in the U.S. may petition to enter the country for work via an H-1B visa. The type of work must require at least a bachelor’s degree and the prospective employer must pay the worker applying for the visa a fair wage based on U.S. standards.

• H-3 Job Trainee: The U.S. has many opportunities for training that other countries do not. If you are unable to pursue the training you need in your home county, then an H-3 visa can allow you to live in the U.S. temporarily while you receive special training.

• J-1 Exchange Visitor: A similar type of visa to an H-3 visa is a J-1, which allows a foreign national to stay in the U.S. temporarily while they receive special career training. However, this visa stipulates that most applicants must return to their native country and work for at least two years following completion of their training.

• L-1 Intracompany Transferee: An L-1 visa allows employees of an international company to transfer to their employer’s U.S. location, assuming they have been employed by the company for at least one out of the three years immediately preceding their visa application. Eligible workers must have specialized knowledge in their field and be a manager, an executive or a highly trained worker of some kind.

• P-2 Reciprocal Exchange Program: You can petition for a P-2 visa when participating in a reciprocal exchange program between your native country and the U.S. This type of visa is also available for athletes and entertainers.

• P-3 Culturally Unique Program: You may qualify for a P-3 visa if you are an artist or entertainer — as an individual or member of a group — that engages in programs foreign to American culture. This visa can allow you to teach, coach, develop or represent a unique or traditional form of art to United States citizens.

• R-1 Religious Worker: Religious workers can come to the U.S. using an R-1 visa to work for a nonprofit religious organization. Workers must be affiliated with the organization’s religious denomination for at least two years before requesting a visa, in addition to other stipulations.

• Global Migration Services:  We  help businesses and individuals build a strategy and plan to “internationalize” their lives, operations and assets while staying in compliance every step of the way. OLG helps clients develop a turnkey solution for offshore tax planning, dual citizenship, asset protection, and global diversification.

• TN NAFTA Professional: Citizens of Canada and Mexico can work in the United States temporarily under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for a prearranged business trip or other enterprise.

• P-1 Athlete Or Entertainer: Are you an athlete or entertainer who does not qualify for an O-1 visa? If so, you may instead petition for a P-1 visa, which would allow you to compete or perform in the U.S. temporarily.

• P-2 Reciprocal Exchange Program: You can petition for a P-2 visa when participating in a reciprocal exchange program between your native country and the U.S. This type of visa is also available for athletes and entertainers.
