DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AN EB-5 VISA, L-1 AND E-S VISAS
The L-1 visa is also a business-related visa. According to the US rules, the L-1 visa allows foreign-based individuals to open a new office in the US and transfer a multinational executive, or a manager (L-1A) or a specialized knowledge personnel (L-1B) to its office in the US. Also, foreign-based individuals who work at an affiliate of any US company are qualified to obtain the L-1 visa to relocate to the main company in the US. With L-1 an employer-sponsor, specific experience and skills are required, while the EB-5 visa doesn’t require any of those. To apply for the L-1 visa, one needs to gather not only tax and bank records, but also advertisement materials, job descriptions, business cards, etc. The E-2 Investor Visa allows an individual to enter and work inside of the United States based on an investment he or she will be controlling. Important condition: an investor must own at least 50% of a US company’s shares. The L-1 and E-2 visas are non-immigrant visas. Those who enter in L-1 or E-2 status may obtain legal permanent resident status by obtaining a different type of visa, usually it’s the EB-5 visa.
