Keys to a successful visa application in the United States

The U.S. government has strict requirements that must be carefully followed to be able to live and work in the U.S.

Visa applications that are not carefully prepared are rejected regularly. Applicants in general - and companies in particular - cannot afford the delays and complications that arise when poorly prepared applications are rejected.

We can help you navigate the thicket of rules and regulations regarding U.S. visas. During a consultation, our experts can help you determine which U.S. visa(s) will meet your or your company’s needs and goals, which requirements must be satisfied and which documents and forms must be submitted to the U.S. Embassy, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), or both.

We can also represent you before the relevant U.S. government agencies and prepare the entire application package for you. 

We process all visa application procedures in our proven 5 steps. This is how we ensure that your visa application and your commitment in the USA have the best possible chance of success: the overwhelming majority of our clients have the desired visa in their hands after the first application.

Beyond visas: Comprehensive services for your U.S. expansion

Choosing the right visa is the first step to building a successful U.S. business. But there are many other legal and tax implications, issues and questions to consider and clarify before moving forward with your U.S. expansion. These include:

  • Employment law: Which rules and regulations govern the secondment?
  • Corporate law: Which U.S. legal structure best meets the needs of your business, including limitations on liability?
  • Tax law: How are U.S. dividends taxed outside the U.S.? Who should act as the parent company? Which transfer price rules apply? Which U.S. legal structure is best from a tax perspective?

The new U.S. company will also need standard contracts for various relationships, including those with customers, suppliers and employees. Tax counsel and accounting services should also be arranged.
