No. The B1 visa isn’t a work visa and is only acceptable for conducting preparatory sales activities or technical activities.
Can I work in the United States with a B1 visa?Planning is essential for properly framing the request for any type of visa. The first step is, therefore, to perform a detailed analysis of all of the aspects of your visa request.
Initial AnalysisNo. The backup letter is a procedure for entry to the United States used by those who must travel to the US for temporary employment purposes.
Is the backup letter a visa?In order for the visa application to be accepted it’s vital to provide all of the correct and necessary documents. ExportUSA never sends a visa application to the embassy if it lacks any of the necessary documents.
Document CollectionYes. The E2 visa [as well as the E1 visa] extends to spouses and underage children. It should be noted that spouses can also work and don’t necessarily have to work in the same company in which the holder of the visa works.
Is the E2 visa also valid for my family members?Based on the documents that we’ve collected we prepare the application and send it to the relevant consular authorities [American Embassy or American Consulate].
Application PreparationThe law doesn’t specify a precise sum that must be invested, only that the investment must be proportional to the activity.
What is the minimum investment for obtaining an E2 visa?There is no minimum number of import operations required. It’s necessary to complete frequent and continuous import operations of non-trivial value.
How many import operations must I complete before being able to apply for an E1 visa?All visa applications include an in-person interview at the embassy or consulate. Interview preparation serves to alleviate the inevitable tension that arises in anticipation of this important event.
Interview PreparationAfter submitting the visa application we remain in contact with the legal office and with the American consular authorities to keep track of its progress.
Follow UpNo. The two are mutually exclusive, even though having a company is an essential requirement for obtaining an E2, E1, or L1 visa.
If I open a company in the US am I automatically entitled to a work visa?All visas have a duration. All visas expire. They need to be renewed. ExportUSA offers a visa renewal service for all types of United States visas.
