There are two basic types of visas: immigrant visas and nonimmigrant visas. Immigrant visas are for persons who intend to live in the United States. Nonimmigrant visas are for persons with permanent residence outside the United States but who wish to reside in the United States on a temporary basis.
TRANSFER OF EXECUTIVES OR MANAGERS WITHIN THE SAME COMPANY
The L-1 nonimmigrant classification allows a foreign company that does not already have an affiliated office in the United States to send an executive or manager to the United States for the purpose of creating an office.

FAMILY OF L-1 VISA WORKERS
Employees transferring to U.S. offices may be admitted accompanied by their spouse and children under 21 years of age, for the same amount of time of stay as the L-1 employee. Spouses of L-1 workers may apply for work authorization. If approved, there are no specific work type restrictions.
The E-2 visa allows foreign entrepreneurs and their families to live and work temporarily in the United States.
This Visa may be for you if you have a moderate amount to invest in the United States and the skills to manage a business.
Children may only be eligible for this visa until they are 21 years of age, after that age they will have to leave the country or have another visa that allows them to remain in the United States.
E-1 VISA
DEFINITION
If you are a citizen of a country with which the U.S. has a trade treaty and you are entering the U.S. solely to carry on trade of a substantial nature primarily between the U.S. and your country of nationality, you may be eligible for this classification. The trade in question must actually exist (with contracts satisfactorily negotiated and binding on all parties involved) and consist of an international exchange of articles of commerce between the United States and the treaty country.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
To be eligible for E-l classification, you must demonstrate that:
EB-5 VISA
USCIS (U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES) administers the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as “EB-5”. The purpose of this program is to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors.
The minimum investment to qualify in the United States is $1 million.
At least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers must be created or preserved within two years of the immigrant investor’s admission to the United States as a Conditional Permanent Resident.
The foreign entrepreneur will be personally and principally responsible for the capital. It cannot be obtained by means of loan. It must be acquired through wages, legitimate business, profits from real estate investments, inheritance, etc. Verifiable proof of legitimate source must be provided.
ELIGIBLES
The investor may include as eligible for residency all of his unmarried children under the age of 21. If one of his or her children under the age of 21 is already studying in the United States at the time the application is approved, he or she may also be eligible for residency.
For removal of residency conditions, USCIS will base its decision on a comparison between the forecast of employment created by the investor and the actual job creation at the time of filing the petition for removal of the condition.

PROCEDURE
Once our team of EB-5 Visa attorneys establishes that the investor meets the basic eligibility requirements, the investor is invited to transfer his or her $1,000,000 investment to the project.
The investment will be recovered in stages identified in the specific project documentation provided. Generally, most projects estimate a five-year time frame, but each project is different. The investment must be considered risky according to USCIS requirements and no guarantee can be made as to its recovery or return on investment.
