Frequently asked questions

Can Larhdel Law help with an E-2 investor visa?

Yes. Larhdel Law advises E-2 treaty investor applicants on immigration strategy, investment structure, source-of-funds documentation, business-plan coordination and the evidence needed to present the qualifying business activity.

Who should consider an E-2 investor visa?

The E-2 route may be relevant to eligible treaty-country nationals who are investing in and will direct or develop a U.S. business. Whether it is suitable depends on nationality, ownership, the investment and the operating business, so an individual review is important.

Can Larhdel Law help with an L-1 transfer from a UK company to a U.S. company?

Yes. The firm has a particular focus on L-1 intracompany transfers and advises executives, managers, specialist employees and businesses on qualifying corporate relationships, new-office issues and petition preparation.

Can an overseas company use the L-1 route to establish a new U.S. office?

Potentially. New-office L-1 cases can be possible where the corporate relationship and other requirements are satisfied. These cases usually require careful evidence about the foreign company, U.S. entity, premises, staffing and business plan.

Can Larhdel Law help an entrepreneur or professional with an O-1 visa?

Yes. Larhdel Law handles O-1 matters for people with strong records of achievement. The legal strategy typically focuses on identifying the strongest qualifying evidence and presenting the applicant’s recognition and work in a coherent petition.

How do I know whether my achievements may support an O-1 application?

O-1 eligibility is evidence-driven. Awards, media coverage, leading roles, original contributions, high-level work, judging activity and other forms of recognition may be relevant depending on the field. A case assessment can identify which evidence is strongest and what may still be missing.

Does Larhdel Law handle EB-5 investor green-card matters?

Yes. The firm’s U.S. business and investment practice includes EB-5. It can assist with legal strategy, project-related review, source-of-funds documentation and the immigration petition process.

What is the difference between an E-2 visa and EB-5?

They are different immigration routes with different purposes and requirements. Broadly, E-2 is a treaty-based nonimmigrant investor route, while EB-5 is an immigrant-investor route connected to permanent residence. The best fit depends on nationality, investment plans and long-term objectives.

Should I choose E-2, L-1 or O-1 for my U.S. business plan?

There is no single answer. E-2 is tied to treaty nationality and investment, L-1 to a qualifying relationship between overseas and U.S. businesses, and O-1 to extraordinary ability or achievement. A lawyer can compare the facts against each route before you invest time and money in an application.

Can business immigration planning be coordinated with U.S. company formation?

Yes. Where appropriate, immigration planning can be considered alongside entity formation, contracts and business operations. Larhdel Law provides both U.S. business immigration and business-law services, which can help clients address connected issues in a coordinated way.
