The Business Immigration Visa Process in Florida
If you are moving to Florida or anywhere in the United States for business purposes, you will need a business immigration visa. This process can become complicated if you are not familiar with it, so it is therefore prudent to hire a qualified and experienced attorney who has done this multi-step process before.
In our immigration practice, we work with businesses and foreign workers to get work visas and permanent residence (green card) for those employees who are interested. Depending on the occupation, we can obtain an H-1B work visa, an E-1 or E-2 visa or an L-1A or L-1B visa. If you are an employee from Mexico or Canada, we can obtain a TN visa which is specifically available for those companies that qualify under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. For any employees who do not meet these special circumstances, we can work to obtain other types of visa that confer temporary work authorization.
We will represent employees applying for green cards through PERM, the labor certification process, as well as representing employees with extraordinary ability, those who qualify for the national interest waiver and other candidates that might qualify for green cards.
As you can see, from determining which visa you need to preparing the paperwork and seeing it through to conclusion can be a complex process if you are unfamiliar with it. But, with careful planning and hiring an attorney who has experience with immigration in these types of visas, it is possible to obtain a visa and start or become part of a United States business.
