There are several visa categories available to
business owners and other professionals who wish
to come to the United States to expand their
business. However, in order for the application
process to be successful, visa applicants under
these categories must meet some important
requirements. Some of the most common challenges

Some visas may require that the company is
structured a certain way. Fifty percent or more
of the company must be owned by nationals of a
country that maintains a treaty of commerce and
navigation with the United States. There are also
other requirements you will need to meet, which a
Salt Lake City business visa attorney can explain
in more details. It is important that business
owners and executives, particularly those
applying for visa categories E and L, understand
the process so they avoid unnecessary costs when
restructuring their business.
