Work & Investor Visas

Professionals who seek to live and work in the United States, but ultimately will return to their home countries, or professionals who seek to come to the United States to invest in a new or existing company, are good candidates for work and investor visas.

Many, but not all, of these visas require first having a sponsor or employer willing to petition on your behalf. The sponsor may be offering the professional a new job. They may be looking to transfer them from one country to the U.S. Or they may be managing their career in the United States.
