Enter the U.S. on a Temporary Work-Visa 

Depending on your qualifications, we will apply for one of these visas so you can enter the U.S. to work.

O-1

Extraordinary Talent Visa

The O-1 is for individuals with extraordinary ability in business, education, or the sciences. If you've earned recognition in your field through awards, media coverage, a strong track record, or notable impact and following, you may qualify. A great fit for accomplished founders, coaches, and educators.

L-1

Intracompany Transferee

L-1 allows companies to transfer executives, managers, or professionals with specialized knowledge to the U.S. to open or work at a new branch, subsidiary, or affiliate. And as a full-service business firm, we handle the company side too: formation, contracts, and operations.

E-2

​

Investor Visa

E-2 is an investor visa for citizens of U.S. treaty countries. With a qualifying investment in a business of your choice (often $100k+), you may obtain a U.S. work visa. We handle the business side too: entity formation, structure, and getting you investment-ready.

Permanent Residency

Once you qualify, we will apply for one of these Green Card Options on your behalf.

EB-1A

Extraordinary Talent 

Extraordinary Talent Green Card is for those who have received national and international acclaim. 

EB-1C

Multinational Executives

Executive Green Card was specifically created for multinational executives and managers interested in starting a business in the United States. 

EB-2 NIW

Exceptional Skills

EB-2 with NIW is for those with advanced degrees or exceptional ability, or those seeking a national interest waiver.​

​

And finally, become a U.S. Citizen
& apply for your American passport!

We're Your Biggest Fan.

Grow your career. You are halfway to U.S. Citizenship. 
​
The EB-1 and EB-2 NIW are immigrant petitions that put you on the path to a green card, designed for individuals recognized at the very top of their field who are coming to the U.S. to continue that work. If you're an accomplished professional in business, science, education, the arts, or athletics, this may be an excellent option. Best of all, you can self-petition, meaning you don't need an employer to sponsor you.
