Frequently Asked Questions

If you want to obtain residency

The person has to make an investment of one million dollars in a newly established company that will employ at least 10 people (citizens, permanent residents or any other person authorized to work in the United States) and these people must work full time.

On the other hand, if the investment is made in a rural area or place with high unemployment rates, then the investment is reduced to at least $500 thousand dollars but the latter is restricted to 3000 visas per year.

A person may enter the United States for a variety of reasons, including as a tourist, visitor, business, student, or temporary employee.

These temporary visas are known as nonimmigrant visas and are requested at the appropriate consulates or embassies. For most work-based visas, the employer must obtain approval of an application from the Immigration Service before the beneficiary applies for the visa at the consulate.

Likewise, students must be accepted by the school where they will attend.

The consular officer in charge of granting/denying the visa must be completely sure that the visa requirements will be met during the person’s stay in the United States. Likewise, he or she must be convinced that the person will leave the United States when the visa expires.

The burden of proof is on the applicant that he or she will meet the visa requirements through personal or professional ties or any other evidence that there is an intention to leave the country. The visa may be granted to enter or leave one or more times.

The duration of the visa varies depending on the type requested. Having a visa does not guarantee entry into the country. The officer at the port of entry will make that determination.

Yes, you can do it. However, I do not recommend it.

American immigration law is very complex. A small mistake means delays in your process or perhaps the denial of the same. Also, before you start your process, you have to analyze if the beneficiary qualifies for it due to having negative immigration history, due to having a punishment for illegal presence or for criminal arrests.

This analysis has to be done by an American lawyer who focuses his practice on immigration law. That is why you should not do it yourself or leave it in the hands of a notary or the person who helped you do your taxes. You could really regret it.
