We specialize in three core U.S. immigration pathways: L-1 Intracompany Transferee visas for multinational executives and managers, E-2 Treaty Investor visas for entrepreneurs from treaty countries, and EB-5 Immigrant Investor visas for those seeking permanent residency through investment.
It depends on your goals: L-1 is ideal if you're transferring within a multinational company. E-2 is best for entrepreneurs who want to start or buy a U.S. business. EB-5 is the path to a permanent Green Card through a qualifying investment of $800K–$1.05M. We offer free consultations to help determine the best fit.
Investment requirements vary: the L-1 has no minimum investment. The E-2 typically requires $100,000+ in a bona fide enterprise. The EB-5 requires $800,000 (TEA areas) or $1,050,000 (standard). Legal fees and government filing fees are separate.
Yes. All three visa categories allow your spouse and unmarried children under 21 to accompany you. Spouses are eligible for work authorization (EAD) under L-2, E-2 dependent, and EB-5 statuses. Children can attend U.S. schools.
Timelines vary by visa type: L-1 can be processed in as little as 15 days with Premium Processing. E-2 consular processing typically takes 2–8 weeks. EB-5 is the longest, averaging 2–3 years from filing to conditional Green Card. We provide detailed timelines during your consultation.
No. There is no English language requirement for L-1, E-2, or EB-5 visas. Our firm serves clients in multiple languages and has offices in New York, Toronto, Mumbai, and Istanbul to assist you in your preferred language.
Yes. Türkiye has maintained a Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with the United States since 1990. Turkish nationals are fully eligible for the E-2 Treaty Investor visa. Our Istanbul office specializes in assisting Turkish entrepreneurs with the E-2 process.
