Our dedicated legal services to aspiring U.S. immigrants from all nations of origin includes assistance with a wide range of immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applications. In addition to helping people obtain family visas, investor visas and other types of legal status, we efficiently assist employers with their specialized immigration needs. Please contact our office if you would like to discuss immigration options for current or future international employees.

L-1 Visas for Intracompany Transfers

The nonimmigrant L-1 visa is appropriate for executives, managers and other people with specialized skills who work for multinational companies and wish to transfer from another country to a U.S.-based position. An important requirement is that the new position must be with a branch, subsidiary, affiliate or joint venture partner of the applicant's employer abroad.

Navigating the L-1 visa petition and application processes can be complex. Our firm counsels employers in a variety of sectors on the most efficient ways to obtain legal status for key employees.

E-1 Visas and E-2 Visas for Treaty Traders and Investors

U.S. immigration law provides specialized visa categories for people who will engage in international trade and investment from within the U.S. E-1 visas and E-2 visas are available to individuals from counties with which the United States has a commercial treaty or trade pact.

 Our attorneys can assist in your petition and application for an:

  • E-1 Treaty Trader Visa for a person who will engage in substantial trade between his or her country of origin and parties in the U.S.
  • E-2 Treaty Investor Visa for a person who has invested in a U.S. enterprise and needs to direct the operations of that enterprise

Quotas, or caps, do not apply to these visa categories, but the requirements for documentation and other aspects of the application process can be rather complex. Applicants may also want to understand their options for obtaining visas for family members and business associates.

For experienced counsel and representation in obtaining an L-1 visa, E-1 visa, or E-2 visa, please contact the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth, A Professional Corporation, today. We provide a free initial consultation and services on a flat-fee basis.
