Expansion Visa

Businesses or companies from over 160 countries are admissible for a Business Expansion Visa

The United States are members of the World Trade Organization (WTO). As such, they welcome businesses or companies whose country is member of the WTO to expand their operations in the US. They also welcome key employees to be transferred in the US (including the owners to manage every aspect of the US operations) thus insuring the success of the US operations.

A common misconception is that foreign businesses or companies can only hire Americans to manage their business in the US. This is not true. To succeed in the US, foreign businesses or companies must be in total control of all aspects of management (including its policies, procedures and business culture) and are authorized to transfer their key employees in the US division.

The following key positions are admissible to obtain a US work visa and US Permanent Residence (Green Card):

  • Owners : Sole owner or shareholder serving as executive capacity
    Executives of the company :  President, CEO, CFO, COO and Vice Presidents
    Managerial staff : General Managers, Sales Managers, Production Managers, Quality Managers, and Middle Management
    Specialized skills : Employees with professional Bachelor’s degree; OR post-secondary degree and three (3) years experience; or who have received the company’s unique in-house training on policies and procedures relating to their products and/or services, who are essential to the US operations, and who can train future US employees according to your business culture, policies and procedures.

 

Opportunities to expand your business or company to the US

  • Acquisition (must have controlling shares thus, must own minimum 50% of shares with veto powers, for immigration purposes)
  • Joint venture/ mergers  (must have controlling shares thus, must own minimum 50% of shares with veto powers, for immigration purposes)
  • Opening a branch office

Advantages of expanding to the United States
