INVESTORS & BUSINESS OWNERS

Build a Better Future

Are you an investor and wish to start a new business in the United States or to purchase an existing one?

Are you interested in running or investing in a business in the United States?

Do you want to live in the United States in order for a better future?

If you answer yes to any of the above, let Weinstock Immigration Lawyers help you with all the required paperwork so you can focus on making the right investments and growing your business. With more than 35 years of collective experience, our immigration attorneys have helped hundreds of investors, business owners and entrepreneurs secure visas, green cards and citizenship in the United States.

Three Common Questions Our Clients Ask Us:

1. I have my own business in my home country and I want to move some or all of the operations to the United States. Can I get a visa or green card for that?

Typically yes, depending on the type and size of business you have abroad, and the type and size of operation you intend to have in the United States, among other factors. Our immigration lawyers can analyze your situation in detail and give you the best recommendation for a visa or green card based on your circumstances.

2. What is better for me – buying an existing business or starting a new business?

It depends on your particular circumstances. In some cases, it makes sense to buy an existing business because you can save yourself the hassle of building a business from scratch, obtaining business licenses, hiring employees, acquiring customers, etc. However, buying an existing business may be more complicated and expensive, and there is a certain amount of risk involved. In other cases, starting a new business is the best opportunity for the investor or business owner, even if it may take longer to achieve substantial revenues in the United States. Our immigration attorneys can analyze your situation in detail and give you the best recommendation based on your circumstances.

3. I want to be a completely passive investor. If I buy a house or stocks in the United States, can I get an investor visa?

Generally, no, because the immigration laws only allow you to gain an investor visa, either temporary or permanent, if you invest in an active business. However, you may qualify for an investor visa that will not require you to manage the business on a day-to-day basis, but simply have general overall supervision over it. An example of this would be for immigrant investors who invest through a regional center. Talk with our immigration lawyers about your situation and get the best advice for your particular case.
