Business Visa Attorney in Chicago — E-1, E-2, L-1 Visas

Business visas allow entrepreneurs, investors, and companies to establish and operate businesses in the United States. At Liberum Law, our business visa attorneys in Chicago guide clients through the E-1 treaty trader, E-2 treaty investor, and L-1 intracompany transferee visa processes, providing strategic counsel to maximize approval chances.

The E-1 Treaty Trader Visa is available to nationals of countries with qualifying trade treaties with the U.S. It requires substantial trade between the U.S. and the treaty country, with the majority of trade involving the two countries. The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa allows nationals of treaty countries to invest a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business. Unlike the E-1, the E-2 focuses on investment rather than trade. The L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visa enables multinational companies to transfer managers, executives (L-1A), or specialized knowledge employees (L-1B) from foreign offices to U.S. offices.

Each business visa category has specific eligibility requirements, documentation standards, and strategic considerations. Our attorneys prepare comprehensive applications that clearly demonstrate compliance with all regulatory requirements and present your case in the strongest possible light.

We assist individual entrepreneurs and small business owners seeking to start or acquire U.S. businesses, multinational corporations transferring key personnel to U.S. operations, and foreign companies establishing new U.S. offices or expanding existing ones.
