B1 and B2 Visitor Visas

For individuals who are interested on a short business trip and do not intend to remain in the US, the B1/B2 visitor visa is a great option. On a B1/B2 visa you are able to make a brief business trip for contract negotiations, business consulting, or conferences. Applying is a reasonably uncomplicated process. To understand the qualifications and eligibility requirements and to find out if this visa type would suits your needs, please don't hesitate to contact Motion Law.

EB-5, and E-2 Investor Visas

The two main types of investment visas for immigrant investors are the EB-5 and E-2 Visa.

  • The EB-5 visa is for investors who are able to raise and invest at least nine-hundred thousand dollars in an approved Regional Center program. EB-5 visas help to create jobs in areas of high unemployment known as Target Employment Areas, (TEA's), and are a path to conditional permanent residence leading to eventual citizenship. For investors in New Commercial Enterprises (NCE's), outside of Regional Centre, i.e. in non TEA programs, the investment threshold has recently been raised from $1,000,000 to $1,800,000.
  • The E-2 visa is not a direct path to legal permanent residence; but in some cases only requires as little as $100,000 total investment. E-2 visas provide a temporary non-immigrant resident status for investors and their immediate family members and is a much quicker process which must be renewed every 5 years. This option is a great solution for investors looking to start a business in the US.
