Starting Your Business Immigration Journey in the U.S.
There are numerous U.S. visas for entrepreneurs and business-minded immigrants. Key considerations include ownership interest, leadership role, business viability, education, and experience. Consulting a Houston business immigration attorney can help identify the right visa for your goals.
Popular options include the B-1 Temporary Business Visa for short-term visits, allowing participation in negotiations and conferences, and the B-2 Visa for family members accompanying a B-1 holder. For permanent business investment, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa requires a substantial investment and involves a multi-step application process, including Form I-526, Form I-485 or DS-260, and the Petition to Remove Conditions (Form I-829). Seek knowledgeable legal guidance to navigate eligibility and application requirements for your specific business plans.
