      Empreendedores e investidores são impulsionadores-chave do crescimento econômico e da criação de empregos, e os Estados Unidos têm sido há muito tempo um destino de escolha para aqueles que desejam iniciar ou expandir seus negócios. No entanto, navegar pelo sistema de imigração dos EUA pode ser complexo e demorado. Neste artigo, discutiremos as várias opções de visto de não-imigrante disponíveis para empreendedores e investidores que desejam ingressar nos Estados Unidos.

Visto L-1 para transferidos da mesma empresa – “L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visa”

Esta é uma categoria de visto especificamente projetada para executivos, gerentes e funcionários com conhecimento especializado que estão se mudando de uma corporação estrangeira para uma filial nos Estados Unidos. A elegibilidade para um visto L-1 requer que a corporação estrangeira e a filial nos EUA estejam conectadas por meio de propriedade ou controle comum. Os transferidos também devem demonstrar que foram empregados no exterior por pelo menos 12 meses em uma capacidade executiva, gerencial e de conhecimento especializado.

Um funcionário que está sendo transferido também pode estar se dirigindo aos Estados Unidos para abrir um escritório se a empresa não tiver presença lá. O visto L-1 não é a melhor escolha para alguém nos estágios iniciais de lançamento de uma empresa, especialmente se o negócio estiver sendo estabelecido nos Estados Unidos. No entanto, pode ser uma opção viável para um empreendedor que tenha, por exemplo, iniciado um negócio fora dos Estados Unidos que manterá suas operações, ou se o empreendedor fundir as operações com uma empresa estrangeira onde ele tenha sido empregado anteriormente. 

Visto E-1 Tratado de Comerciante – “E-1 Treaty Trader Visa”

Esta categoria de visto é designada para cidadãos de países com os quais os Estados Unidos mantêm tratados de comércio e navegação. Um empreendedor que se qualifica para um visto E-1 deve entrar nos EUA para realizar comércio substancial, incluindo comércio de serviços ou tecnologia, principalmente entre os EUA e o país do tratado.

O comércio, conforme definido, deve envolver a troca de mercadorias, dinheiro ou serviços. Praticamente qualquer mercadoria ou serviço pode atender a esse requisito. O fluxo de transações entre os dois países deve ser verificável, geralmente por meio de documentos como ordens de compra, transferências bancárias ou conhecimentos de embarque.

Para determinar a substancialidade do comércio, o Departamento de Estado (DOS) avaliará a frequência e o valor monetário das transações. Transações mais regulares e de alto valor recebem maior consideração. No entanto, pequenas empresas também podem se qualificar se puderem demonstrar que o volume de transações é suficiente para sustentar o(s) comerciante(s) do tratado e sua família.

O DOS aplica uma regra geral que estabelece que pelo menos 50% do comércio deve ser entre os Estados Unidos Assim, os candidatos devem fornecer provas de suas transações comerciais totais e provar que um mínimo de 50% é entre os dois países. O comércio restante pode ser doméstico ou internacional com outros países. Mesmo que uma subsidiária com sede nos Estados Unidos atenda ao requisito de 50%, a matriz no exterior não precisa necessariamente conduzir 50% de seu comércio com os Estados Unidos.

Devido à exigência de demonstrar um histórico comercial substancial, pode ser um desafio para as startups em estágio inicial se qualificarem para um E-1. Este tipo de visto é mais utilizado por empresários estabelecidos com negócios no exterior e uma base de clientes nos Estados Unidos, que desejam continuar suas operações nos Estados Unidos. Em alguns casos, empresas estrangeiras com o objetivo de penetrar no mercado dos EUA podem usar um E-1 para uma subsidiária americana recém-estabelecida e começar a mover estoque para venda nos EUA. Nesse caso, todo o comércio pode ser feito entre a controladora estrangeira e a subsidiária americana, atingindo assim confortavelmente o limite de 50%.

Visto E-2 Tratado de Investidor – “E-2 Treaty Investor Visa”

O Visto de Investidor do Tratado E-2 é para cidadãos de países que possuem um tratado de comércio e navegação com os Estados Unidos. Para se qualificar para um visto E-2, um empresário deve vir para os Estados Unidos para desenvolver e dirigir as operações de um negócio no qual investiu ou está investindo uma quantia substancial de capital.

No exemplo clássico de um investimento E-2, o investidor E-2 transfere sua riqueza pessoal de uma conta bancária estrangeira para a conta bancária de sua nova empresa nos Estados Unidos, estabelecendo assim seu investimento. No entanto, o Manual de Relações Exteriores (FAM) oferece alguma flexibilidade, permitindo que o oficial considere outros "arranjos" como um "investimento".

Para aqueles que não pretendem financiar o empreendimento E-2 total ou parcialmente com seus recursos pessoais, a nacionalidade de outros investidores precisa ser considerada para garantir que pelo menos 50% das ações da empresa permaneçam nas mãos de nacionais do E-2 país tratado. Por exemplo, suponha que um dos cofundadores seja americano e o outro francês, e cada um possua 50% da empresa, contribuindo com US$ 40.000 de sua fortuna pessoal como capital inicial para a empresa. Para levantar fundos adicionais, cada um deles decide trocar 7% de seu patrimônio (14% no total) com um investidor anjo por $ 150.000. Se o investidor-anjo também for francês, então 57% da empresa passa a ser de propriedade de cidadãos franceses; mas se o anjo for um cidadão americano, então apenas 43% da empresa é francesa e não se qualifica mais como uma empresa francesa para fins de E-2. Neste cenário, os fundadores precisarão mudar para outro tipo de visto antes da troca de ações, pois o E-2 não será mais válido quando a empresa perder sua nacionalidade de tratado.

Uma preocupação central para cada aplicação do visto E-2 é a "fonte de fundos". O requerente deve demonstrar claramente a origem legal de seus fundos de investimento, juntamente com evidências de propriedade e controle. Além disso, para ser classificado como um investimento E-2, os ativos ou fundos investidos devem estar "em risco". Isso significa que, se o negócio falhar, o investimento é proporcionalmente perdido. Embora o capital de investimento possa ser baseado em empréstimo, o empréstimo não pode ser garantido pelos ativos da empresa E-2. Empréstimos pessoais, que podem ser garantidos por bens pessoais como uma segunda hipoteca ou empréstimos não garantidos normalmente obtidos de familiares, amigos ou parceiros de negócios, são permitidos. 

Visto O-1 

A categoria de visto O-1 é uma opção única e vantajosa para empreendedores iniciantes e proprietários de empresas que demonstraram proezas excepcionais em seu campo. A categoria de visto O-1A atende especificamente a indivíduos que exibem habilidades extraordinárias em ciências, educação, negócios ou atletismo. Isso o torna um caminho viável para aqueles que procuram estabelecer ou expandir seus negócios nos EUA sem a necessidade de manter um escritório no exterior ou fornecer evidências de comércio e investimento, conforme exigido pelos vistos L-1 e E-1/E-2. 

Ao contrário das categorias de visto mais tradicionais, o visto O-1A muda a ênfase para as realizações individuais do beneficiário dentro de seu domínio. Exige que o beneficiário atenda a pelo menos três dos oito critérios regulatórios estabelecidos pelos Serviços de Imigração dos EUA. Esses critérios formam uma medida abrangente das realizações, reconhecimento e posição geral do indivíduo em seus respectivos campos.

Por exemplo, se o beneficiário recebeu prêmios ou prêmios reconhecidos nacional ou internacionalmente, isso destaca sua excelência e competência líder do setor. Alternativamente, a participação em associações de prestígio que exigem conquistas louváveis, conforme julgado por especialistas reconhecidos, também pode servir como evidência de sua habilidade extraordinária.

O visto O-1 oferece uma rota alternativa que enfatiza a experiência individual e o reconhecimento no campo do solicitante, em vez de cotas comerciais ou de investimento. Este visto é especialmente benéfico para aqueles que demonstraram capacidade excepcional e alcançaram um alto grau de sucesso em seus respectivos domínios de negócios.

No geral, o visto O-1A oferece uma rota de imigração eficaz para empresários e empresários extraordinariamente talentosos. Ao atender e superar os critérios de elegibilidade, eles podem obter acesso às vastas oportunidades no mercado dos EUA, promovendo assim seus empreendimentos comerciais e contribuindo para o crescimento econômico e a diversificação dos EUA.

Conclusão 

Para empreendedores e investidores estrangeiros, várias opções de imigração nos EUA estão disponíveis: o visto E-1 tratado de comerciante, o visto E-2 de tratado de investidor, o visto L-1 de transferência dentro da empresa e o visto O-1 para indivíduos com habilidades extraordinárias . Enquanto os vistos E-1 e E-2 se concentram em comércio e investimento, respectivamente, o L-1 é para gerentes ou executivos que se transferem para uma filial nos EUA de sua empresa, e o visto O-1 reconhece conhecimentos e realizações individuais. Cada visto tem pré-requisitos exclusivos, exigindo a orientação de um advogado de imigração para a seleção da estratégia ideal. A navegação correta dessas opções abre vastas oportunidades e recursos empresariais nos EUA.

Entrepreneurs and investors are key drivers of economic growth and job creation, and the United States has long been a destination of choice for those seeking to start or grow their businesses. However, navigating the U.S. immigration system can be complex and time-consuming. In this article, we will discuss the various non-immigrant visa options available to entrepreneurs and investors looking to enter the United States. L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visa The L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visa is a visa category specifically designed for executives, managers, and employees possessing specialized knowledge who are relocating from a foreign corporation to a U.S. affiliate. The eligibility for an L-1 visa requires the foreign corporation and the U.S. affiliate to be connected through common ownership or control. Transferees must also demonstrate that they have been employed abroad for at least 12 months in an executive, managerial, and specialized knowledge capacity. An employee being relocated might also be heading to the United States to set up an office if the company doesn't have an existing presence there. The L-1 visa isn't the best choice for someone in the early stages of launching a company, particularly if the business is being established in the United States. However, it could be a viable option for an entrepreneur who has, for instance, kick-started a business outside of the United States which will maintain its operations, or if the entrepreneur merges operations with a foreign company where they have previously been employed. E-1 Treaty Trader Visa E-1 Treaty Trader Visa category is designated for nationals of countries with which the U.S. maintains treaties of commerce and navigation. An entrepreneur qualifying for an E-1 visa must be entering the U.S. to carry out substantial trade, including trade in services or technology, principally between the U.S. and the treaty country. Trade, as defined, must involve an exchange of goods, money, or services. Virtually any goods or services can meet this requirement. The transaction flow between the two countries should be verifiable, typically done through documents such as purchase orders, wire transfers, or bills of lading. To determine the substantiality of the trade, the Department of State (DOS) will assess the frequency and monetary value of the transactions. More regular, high-value transactions are given greater consideration. However, smaller businesses can also qualify if they can demonstrate that the transaction volume is sufficient to support the treaty trader(s) and their family. The DOS applies a general rule stating that at least 50% of the trade must be between the United States and the treaty country. Thus, applicants should provide evidence of their total business transactions and proof that a minimum of 50% is between the two countries. The remaining trade can be domestic or international with other countries. Even if a US-based subsidiary meets the 50% requirement, the parent company abroad does not necessarily need to conduct 50% of its trade with the United States. Due to the requirement of demonstrating substantial trade history, it may be challenging for early-stage startups to qualify for an E-1. This visa type is more frequently used by established entrepreneurs with a foreign business and a US customer base, who wish to continue their operations in the US. In some instances, foreign firms aiming to penetrate the US market may use an E-1 for a newly established US subsidiary and start moving inventory for sale in the US. In this case, all trade may be between the foreign parent and US subsidiary, thereby comfortably meeting the 50% threshold. E-2 Treaty Investor Visa E-2 Treaty Investor Visa is for citizens of countries that have a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. To qualify for an E-2 visa, an entrepreneur must be coming to the United States to develop and direct the operations of a business in which they have invested, or are in the process of investing, a substantial amount of capital. In the classic example of an E-2 investment, the E-2 investor transfers their personal wealth from a foreign bank account into the bank account of their new US enterprise, thereby establishing their investment. However, the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) provides some flexibility, enabling the officer to consider other "arrangements" as an "investment." For those not intending to finance the E-2 enterprise entirely or partially with their personal funds, the nationality of other investors needs to be considered to ensure that at least 50% of the company shares remain in the hands of nationals from the E-2 treaty country. For instance, suppose one co-founder is American and the other is French, and they each own 50% of the company, contributing $40,000 from their personal wealth as initial capital for the company. To raise additional funds, they each decide to swap 7% of their equity (14% in total) with an angel investor for $150,000. If the angel investor is also French, then 57% of the company is now owned by French nationals; but if the angel is a U.S. citizen, then only 43% of the company is French, and it no longer qualifies as a French company for E-2 purposes. In this scenario, the founders will need to switch to another visa type before the equity exchange, as their E-2 will no longer be valid when the company loses its treaty nationality. A central concern for every E-2 application is the "source of funds." The applicant must clearly demonstrate the lawful origin of their investment funds, along with evidence of ownership and control. Moreover, to be classified as an E-2 investment, the invested assets or funds must be "at risk." This means that if the business fails, the investment is proportionately lost. Though the investment capital may be loan-based, the loan cannot be secured against the assets of the E-2 enterprise. Personal loans, which may be secured by personal assets like a second mortgage or unsecured loans typically obtained from family, friends, or business partners, are permissible. O-1 Visa The O-1 visa category is a unique and advantageous option for startup entrepreneurs and business owners who have demonstrated exceptional prowess in their field. The O-1A visa variant specifically caters to individuals exhibiting extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business, or athletics. This makes it a viable avenue for those looking to establish or expand their business ventures in the US without the necessity of maintaining an overseas office or providing evidence of trade and investment, as required by L-1 and E-1/E-2 visas. Unlike the more traditional visa categories, the O-1A visa shifts the emphasis onto the beneficiary's individual achievements within their domain. It demands that the beneficiary meets at least three of the eight regulatory criteria set forth by the US Immigration Services. These criteria form a comprehensive measure of the individual's accomplishments, recognition, and overall standing in their respective field. For instance, if the beneficiary has been the recipient of nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards, it highlights their excellence and industry-leading competence. Alternatively, membership in prestigious associations which require commendable achievements as judged by recognized experts can also serve as evidence of their extraordinary ability. The O-1 visa offers an alternate route that places an emphasis on individual expertise and recognition in the applicant's field, rather than specific trade or investment quotas. This visa is especially beneficial for those who have demonstrated exceptional capability and achieved a high degree of success in their respective business domain. Overall, the O-1A visa offers an effective immigration route for extraordinarily talented entrepreneurs and business owners. By meeting and surpassing the eligibility criteria, they can gain access to the vast opportunities in the US market, thereby furthering their business ventures and contributing to the economic growth and diversification of the US. Conclusion For foreign entrepreneurs and investors, several U.S. immigration options are available: the E-1 treaty trader visa, the E-2 treaty investor visa, the L-1 intra-company transferee visa, and the O-1 visa for individuals with extraordinary ability. While E-1 and E-2 visas center on trade and investment respectively, the L-1 is for managers or executives transferring to a U.S. branch of their company, and the O-1 visa acknowledges individual expertise and accomplishments. Each visa has unique prerequisites, necessitating the guidance of an immigration attorney for optimal strategy selection. Correct navigation of these options opens vast U.S. entrepreneurial opportunities and resources.

In years past, spouses of certain E and L visa categories were required to apply for and receive an Employment Authorization Document in order to work in the United States. However, as the result of a settlement reached by USCIS in the class action lawsuit Shergill v. Mayorkas on November 10, 2021, USCIS now considers E and L dependent spouses to be authorized for employment incident to their status.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has released updated policy guidance detailing how officers will evaluate "public charge" inadmissibility for individuals applying for green cards through adjustment of status. This update follows a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) final rule that rescinds the 2022 public charge regulations. The new policy takes effect on September 18, 2026 , and applies to all green card applications (Form I-485) postmarked or submitted on or after that date. Who Is Subject to the Public Charge Rule? Most family-based and employment-based green card applicants will be subject to the public charge ground of inadmissibility. This includes spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, as well as most employment visa preference categories, investors, and diversity visa applicants. Certain categories remain explicitly exempt under immigration law. These include: Asylees and refugees Victims of human trafficking (T visa) or crime (U visa) Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitioners Special Immigrant Juveniles Temporary Protected Status (TPS) applicants Certain military-related applicants and other designated humanitarian groups How USCIS Will Make Determinations USCIS officers will evaluate whether an applicant is likely to become a public charge by reviewing the totality of their circumstances on a case-by-case basis. Key factors include: Five Statutory Factors: Age, health, family status, assets/financial resources, and education or skills. Affidavit of Support: Submission of Form I-864 executed by a sponsor. Use of Public Benefits: USCIS will look at means-tested public benefits, such as cash assistance for income maintenance, housing assistance, food stamps (SNAP), or college financial aid. Note on timing: For benefits received before September 18, 2026, USCIS will only consider public cash assistance for income maintenance and long-term institutionalization at government expense. For benefits received on or after September 18, 2026, the broader consideration of all listed means-tested benefits will apply. Public Charge Bonds If an officer determines that an applicant is inadmissible solely on public charge grounds, USCIS may issue a Notice of Intent to Deny that invites the applicant to post a public charge bond using Form I-945. If an invited applicant successfully posts the required cash or surety bond, USCIS may approve the application for permanent residence. Public charge bonds can only be submitted if explicitly invited by USCIS. Santos Lloyd Law Firm will continue to monitor immigration developments closely and provide updates as further implementation details are released.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is considering a regulatory proposal that would remove the discretionary 60-day grace period currently available to certain nonimmigrant visa holders (including H-1B, L-1, TN, E, and O-1) and their dependents. The draft rule is currently undergoing interagency review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and has not yet been formally published for public feedback. What This Means Right Now Nothing changes today. The 60-day grace period remains in effect while this rule goes through the approval process. Under current rules, if your job ends early, you have up to 60 days (or until your I-94 expires) to leave the U.S., find a new sponsor, or apply to change status. What Could Change If approved, foreign workers who lose their jobs would no longer get automatic time to find a new employer or change status from within the U.S. They would generally be required to leave the country immediately. Next Steps Once the OMB finishes its initial review, the proposed rule will be published in the Federal Register, opening a public comment period of 30 to 60 days. Based on feedback received during this time, DHS may decide to alter, withdraw, or proceed with the proposal. If the government decides to finalize the rule, the entire process will likely take several months before taking effect. Santos Lloyd Law Firm will continue to monitor developments closely and will share updates on our immigration blog and social media pages as more details emerge.

Navigating the United States immigration system can be complicated and stressful, and maximizing your chances of a successful outcome can have a huge positive impact on your personal or professional life. While hiring an experienced immigration attorney is an excellent first step toward securing a positive outcome, it is vital to remember that legal representation is fundamentally a partnership. Your attorney is your advocate, but the strength and efficiency of your case rely heavily on the preparation, collaboration, and transparency you bring to the table. To help you maximize the value of your legal counsel and build a seamless, robust application package, here are five essential tips for making your partnership with an immigration attorney a genuine success. 1. Streamlining Translated Documents: The Value of Advance Preparation Submitting an immigration petition requires an extensive paper trail of supporting evidence. This often includes vital records such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, police clearance certificates, or academic transcripts. A strict, non-negotiable rule enforced by USCIS is that any document used as supporting evidence that is written in a language other than English must be accompanied by a full and complete English translation. You can proactively save significant time and keep your legal process moving forward by arranging for these translations before sending documents to your attorney. However, you cannot simply translate them yourself or have a bilingual friend write it out. USCIS requires the translator to provide a formal, written attestation. While you don’t need to hire a professional translator, the certification must explicitly state that the translator is competent to translate from the foreign language into English and that the translation is accurate, true, and complete. Having these documents translated with proper written attestations beforehand allows your attorney to begin analyzing your evidence and compiling your packet immediately without administrative delays. 2. Understanding Legal Fees vs. USCIS Filing Fees Like any legal process, immigration law matters are expensive, and they involve two distinct types of cost- understanding these can help you to budget properly and avoid unnecessary friction or delays. When entering into a legal retainer agreement, it is crucial to recognize the operational difference between the legal fees charged by your law firm and the administrative filing fees mandated by the U.S. government:  Legal Fees: These fees are paid directly to your immigration attorney for their professional expertise, time, legal labor, and ongoing representation. This covers strategy formulation, document drafting, compilation of the legal brief, and managing communications with government agencies. A good attorney will be clear about how much things will cost, at what point you will need to pay them, and why the costs may vary for certain situations (such as expediting a case to meet a deadline). USCIS Fees: These are flat filing fees established by the U.S. government to process specific immigration forms. These fees are mandatory regardless of whether you hire an attorney, and they are generally non-refundable—meaning the government keeps the money even if your application is ultimately denied. It is also important to remember that these fees will be charged to your account shortly after your case is filed, so make sure you have the requisite amount available in your account to avoid your filing being rejected due to payment failure. Review your legal contract carefully to ensure you understand how both fee types are structured. Your attorney will explicitly instruct you on how and when government fees must be paid, which typically requires separate checks, money orders, or specific credit card authorization forms made out directly to the "U.S. Department of Homeland Security." 3. Submitting Your Documents Properly When preparing documents for your attorney, ensure that they are properly scanned using a scanner or a dedicated mobile scanning app. If you must take photos of a document using a smartphone, ensure the camera is perfectly level, the lighting is bright and even, and the image displays the entire document —including all four corners, edges, and margins. Blurry, skewed, or cropped images look unprofessional and raise immediate red flags regarding document alteration. Furthermore, pay absolute attention to signature requirements. While electronic signatures are standard in commercial business, USCIS enforces strict guidelines. Most immigration forms and critical supporting affidavits require an original "wet signature"—meaning you must physically sign the paper document with an ink pen before it is submitted or scanned. Digital fonts or unapproved electronic signatures can result in your entire application package being rejected and sent back, costing you valuable time and filing priorities. 4. Transparency is Key: Providing the Full Picture Your immigration attorney’s sole objective is to protect your interests, advocate for your legal status, and help you achieve your goals. However, an attorney cannot effectively defend you against risks they do not know exist. To ensure a successful outcome, you must provide your legal counsel with a complete, completely unvarnished picture of all relevant facts—both positive and negative—from your very first consultation. Clients are occasionally hesitant to disclose past complications, such as a prior visa denial, an unauthorized period of employment, an arrest or citation, or previous marriages. Concealing these facts from your attorney is incredibly risky. The U.S. government possesses expansive domestic and international databases and will uncover this information during background checks. If your attorney is blindsided by an undisclosed adverse fact mid-process, they cannot prepare a proactive legal defense, alternative strategy, or necessary waiver in advance. Remember that your disclosures are entirely protected by attorney-client privilege; your attorney is there to solve your problems, not to judge them! 5. Managing Expectations: Why Attorneys Cannot Guarantee Outcomes One of the most foundational elements of a healthy attorney-client relationship is alignment on expectations. It is critical to understand from the outset that an immigration attorney can never guarantee a successful outcome for your case. Whether you are applying for a family-sponsored green card, an employment-based visa, asylum, or naturalization, the ultimate authority to approve or deny a petition rests entirely within the discretion of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of State consular officers, or immigration judges. Immigration law explicitly grants immense discretionary power to the government officials evaluating your case. An attorney’s role is to deeply analyze the law, construct a compelling legal narrative, meticulously organize your supporting evidence, and protect your rights from administrative overreach. However, because the final decision is entirely subject to agency discretion, any attorney who claims a "100% guaranteed approval" is acting unethically. Trust the counsel who gives you an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential vulnerabilities, rather than empty promises. Conclusion: A Collaborative Approach to Success Achieving your immigration goals is a shared responsibility. Treat your application with the seriousness it deserves, work hand-in-hand with your legal counsel, and you will set yourself on the most reliable path to success. If you are ready to take action on your case and are seeking a competent, experienced, and trustworthy immigration attorney to work with you towards the outcome you are looking for, please contact us today and we will be ready to assist you.
