United States Visas for Foreign Investors

  There are certain requirements that must be met in order for an individual to obtain an L-1 visa for investors. He or she must have been employed by the company for at least one out of the last three years. If a new business is going to be opened in the U.S., it is necessary to show that a location for the business has been secured. Additional requirements can be discussed with an immigration attorney.
