Where Immigration Strategy Meets Precision And Foresight
Every detail matters — from layered compliance planning to how your filings shape your federal record. Our work reflects the quality and strategy behind every successful case.
Investor Immigration
Every year, people from around the world bring their vision, determination, and entrepreneurial spirit to the United States in pursuit of opportunity.
At The Luo Law Office, we help investors, entrepreneurs, and business owners turn those ambitions into structured, compliant immigration paths.
Whether you are starting a new venture, acquiring an existing company, or investing through a regional center, we guide you in choosing the immigration option that best supports your goals and future plans.
Investment & Business Visa Options
Common pathways include:
E-1 Treaty Trader Visa – for nationals of treaty countries who conduct substantial international trade principally between the United States and the treaty country.
E-2 Treaty Investor Visa – for nationals of treaty countries who invest a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. enterprise and seek to develop and direct that enterprise..
L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visa – for qualifying executives or managers transferring from a related foreign company to a U.S. office, including qualifying new offices.
EB-1C Multinational Manager or Executive – for qualifying multinational managers or executives seeking permanent residence through a qualifying U.S. employer.
EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa – for investors seeking permanent residence through a qualifying investment in a new commercial enterprise that meets applicable investment and job-creation requirements.
Several visa categories allow foreign nationals to invest and actively participate in U.S. business ventures. Each comes with its own requirements, benefits, and considerations — including the investor’s nationality, the size of the investment, and the level of managerial involvement.
Our Approach
Investor visas often involve more than financial documentation — they require strategic planning, careful risk assessment, and compliance at every stage. We take time to explain the requirements, evaluate eligibility, and outline the potential risks and advantages of each option. Our goal is to help you make well-informed, confident decisions that align with your investment vision and long-term immigration objectives.
