U.S. Visa Options

Foreign workers in specialty occupations may be allowed entry into the U.S. under the H-1B visa for International Professionals. With the H1-B visa, you may be allowed to stay in the United States for up to six years. Additionally, with this type of U.S. visa, you have the option of immigrating to the United States if your U.S. employer wishes to keep you for permanent employment. Your U.S. employer may petition the government and you will be allowed to apply for U.S. permanent residence (green card) if you wish to stay in the United States permanently. For international professionals in high skilled occupations, the H-1B visa could be the first step to obtaining permanent residence in the United States.

The Treaty Investor visa (E-2) is a non-immigrant visa based on the 1989 treaty agreements between the U.S. and Canada. The E-2 Investor visa is issued on the basis that the applicant is entering the U.S. for the sole purpose of developing and managing a business in which they have a vested interest and intend to supervise their investment. To obtain an E-2 visa, you will need to have a minimum investment and meet the basic requirements. Your spouse and dependent children may also be granted E status which will allow children to attend school but will not allow them to work. However, your spouse may apply for a work authorization which will allow them to legally work in the U.S. and obtain a U.S. social security number.
