Business Immigration

Business Immigration

United States immigration law allows people who are needed in the U.S. to be allowed to work here on a permanent or temporary basis. If an individual wants to file for permanent residence, there are five general types of business visas. These types of visas are ranked in priority of need in the U.S. by the economy and employers, as established by Congress. Immigrants with these types of visas would be able to live and work here for as long as they would like so long as they do not commit any deportable offense.

Our attorneys are highly experienced with:

  • Business visa cycle—starting, operating and developing a business in the United States

  • Extraordinary ability
