Questions to consider
Frequently Asked Questions
These general answers are drafts for attorney review and cannot replace advice about your circumstances.
Does starting or investing in a business automatically qualify someone for a visa?
No. A business or investment alone does not establish eligibility. Requirements depend on the specific category and the person’s circumstances.
What is the difference between E-1 and E-2 visas?
They are distinct nonimmigrant classifications with different legal frameworks. Whether either is relevant depends on facts and requirements that should be reviewed individually.
Can a business immigration strategy change as plans develop?
Business and personal circumstances may change. Any strategy should be revisited with current facts and the applicable rules in mind.
