So I'm here at the Westin Hotel in San Diego at this conference international lawyers from
all over the world are here talking about entrepreneurship, innovation and collaboration
between attorneys from all over the world.
And were actually about to go to panel.
And in this video I wanted to talk about how entrepreneurs actually able to come to America.
Have you ever wondered how is that possible?
Watch this video and I'll tell you how.
In this video we're going to talk about how entrepreneurs actually able to come to the
United States.
How are they actually able to enter, star companies get you know do what they're doing
here.
There are certain ways that they can do it.
And it really varies for different entrepreneurs.
But there are only certain ways where startup founders can come to United States and launch
their companies.
So the number one way for a startup founder to come to United States and launch a company
is through the O1A Visa.
If you already have a startup in your home country, if you are an entrepreneur, you establish
yourself as an extraordinary ability person in business and you can demonstrate the requirements
of that O1A Visa.
And we've done quite a few videos on that Visa.
You are able to come to United States, obtain that visa because you're about to launch your
company.
You're about you know because of your high skills and your achievement and get an O1A
Visa to work either in your company or in another company that's going to use your skills.
The second option is through the L-1A Visa.
If you're a startup founder, an entrepreneur and you already have a company in your home
country and you want to launch in the U.S, you can send up a subsidiary or an affiliate
of your startup in your home country and come here as an executive, either the CEO or a
CTO, one of those top three key positions and obtain an L-1A Visa to launch your company
in the U.S.
The third option is through an E-2 as an investor, so while you're starting your company, when
you may seek investment from other large investors.
You can actually set up your own entity to be the consultant for the company and move
to the U.S. under the E-2 Visa to be able to be close to your venture, be here as a
valuable resource to a startup and actually relocate for a period of up to five years
at a time to launch your company.
So the E-2 is many investor Visa, once again, we've done quite a few of those videos by
this visa in great detail.
But in this video I want to mention it as another option for an entrepreneur or a startup
founder to come down to the United States.
If you are from Mexico or Canada, you're able to come to the U.S. on a TN Visa and be part
of the company that you launched here as an adviser or as in height of a position as an
engineer to be able to be part of this whole launch process.
So again TN Visa is also an option for startup founders that are coming if they're Canadian
or Mexican.
Another option is the E-1 Visa.
It's a treaty trader.
And usually it's reserved for trading goods and services.
But the E-1 Visa also has an element of technology.
So if you're coming with an idea or if you have a patent brands and you started a company
in your home country, you can set up a company in the U.S. as a founder without really investing
anything and coming here just because of the training technology.
And you can move here and start a company on the E-1 Visa.
And they are quite a few of those E-1 Visas recently for a founder from Israel who started
an amazing company in sports business because of his patents and rights.
he was able to open his company in the US using the E-1 Visa.
And finally as a founder, you can also get a green card under the National Interest Wavier.
So if you don't want to get a Visa but you want to go straight for the green card, if
you're really highly successful and you can show to the government that your innovation
is within that level, you can get a green card and it's a National Interest Waiver Founder
because of your technology or because of what you've done and remain in the country this
way.
So these are the main option how founders actually come to us.
People that started Google worked in a Yahoo. and WhatsApp.
You know, Zoho and many, many, many of the foreign company or foreign based companies
that were launched by global entrepreneurs.
Many of them used to the old visas and the NIW visas or L Visas and were able to come
here and start their own company.
So there's so many options out there and I just mentioned a few of them.
There's quite a bit.
There are other visas that are available but those are the main ones that we do for founders.
