Hey everybody this is immigration attorney Ili Subhan here with Subhan Law
Office and I wanted to talk to you today about a question that I've been being
asked very frequently which is can a foreign national start a business in the
United States. And, the answer is yes. Foreign nationals can start a US company
from inside the US or from abroad. But, being able to work for that company, you
have to have work authorization from the US Citizenship and Immigration Service,
before you can actually work for that company. So it's a little confusing right?
You can own a membership interest in a limited liability company. You can own
shares in a C-corporation, or you can own another type of business
entity. However you might not actually be able to be authorized to work for that
business without a work visa. So I'm going to go over a couple of the most
common work visas that are available for entrepreneurs, executives, managers,
specialized knowledge workers, and/or investors to come to the United States.
So the the first one is the B1 business visitor visa. The second is the H-1B
specialty occupation temporary worker visa. The third is the L-1 visa which is an
intra company transferee visa. You can transfer from a foreign company to a US
company either as an executive, a manager, or a specialized worker. And, also you can
come to the United States under the E1 treaty trader visa, which allows you to
set up operations in the United States, if you're conducting substantial trade
between your home country and the United States. There's also the E2 treaty trader
investor visa, which allows you to establish a business here or to buy
an existing company, as long as you're from a treaty country, and you're
investing a substantial amount, which means that your profit is going to be
more than marginal. Meaning that it's enough to not only take care of you and
your family, but also to potentially produce and create US jobs. Okay, so those
are the the most common options for entrepreneurs, investors, executives,
managers, and or specialized knowledge workers, to come to the United States.
If you have any questions, about work visas that you may be eligible for,
