Who We Help
Global Immigration Partners provides global immigration services to a wide range of clients across industries and nationalities.
Individual Investors and Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals looking to establish or buy a business in the United States rely on us for guidance through the E-2 Investor Visa and EB-5 Immigrant Investor pathways. We help them understand their risks, choose the right investment structure, and file a strong petition.
Multinational Companies and Corporate Organizations
Companies expanding into the U.S. market need efficient immigration management to move their best talent across borders. Our corporate immigration practice helps organizations build compliant L-1 intracompany transfer programs and obtain H-1B work visas for their employees, from the first filing all the way to green card approval.
Executives and Key Personnel
Senior executives, managers, and employees with specialized knowledge being transferred to U.S. offices can leverage our L-1A and L-1B visa expertise. Many executive clients then move from an L-1A visa to an EB-1C green card, which is a direct permanent residency path for qualifying multinational managers.
Families and Individuals
We also support family-based immigration needs. Families who travel with investor and business visa holders receive coordinated planning for spouses and qualifying children through our full case management approach.
Business Immigration Services
Our business immigration practice helps companies of all sizes, from growth-stage startups to large multinationals, manage the full lifecycle of corporate immigration compliance and visa management.
L-1 Intracompany Transfer Program
The L-1 visa is the main option for companies moving executives, managers (L-1A), and specialized knowledge employees (L-1B) to U.S. offices. Our attorneys help organizations build compliant L-1 programs and prepare strong petition packages for new office L-1 petitions, including companies setting up a U.S. presence for the first time.
H-1B Specialty Occupation Work Visas
For employers who want to hire or keep professional employees in specialty occupations, we manage the full H-1B process. This includes Labor Condition Application (LCA) filing with the U.S. Department of Labor, USCIS petition filing, and cap-season lottery registration. We help employers build strategies to protect their workforce and reduce immigration risks.
E-Verify and I-9 Compliance
E-Verify verifies that your employees are authorized to work in the United States. Our firm advises companies on E-Verify enrollment, Form I-9 compliance audits, and workforce authorization management. This helps employers avoid immigration-related litigation and regulations penalties. We also help with U.S. company formation linked to immigration strategy.
Corporate Immigration Program Management
Organizations with many employees need consistent communication and structured management of their visa programs. Global Immigration Partners provides dedicated counsel to HR and legal teams. We address USCIS Requests for Evidence (RFEs), handle multi-employee filings across jurisdictions, and keep companies prepared for audits. Our bot-free, attorney-led approach means real professionals handle your case at every step.
Investor Visa Services
For investors, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth families who want U.S. residency through investment, Global Immigration Partners offers clear legal guidance across all main investor visa paths.
E-2 Treaty Investor Visa
The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa lets nationals of treaty countries live and work in the United States by making a substantial, at-risk capital investment in a U.S. business. The E-2 does not lead directly to a green card, but it is a flexible, renewable visa that many investors use as a long-term U.S. residency solution. Our attorneys help clients evaluate investment structures, gather required documents, and build strong cases for USCIS or U.S. consular officers. See our E-2 visa lawyer page for more details.
EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program gives foreign investors a direct path to a U.S. green card through qualifying investment. The minimum amounts are $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) or $1,050,000 in a non-TEA location. The program was updated by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022. It offers a Regional Center path and a Direct Investment path. Our EB-5 attorneys handle project selection, analysis of risks, source-of-funds documentation, I-526E petition filing, and removal of conditions at the I-829 stage.
Gold Card Visa
The U.S. Gold Card Visa is a new investment-based immigration option introduced in 2025. Global Immigration Partners monitors all updates to this program and advises clients on how it compares to existing investor visa options. Contact us for the latest guidance.
EB-1C Multinational Manager Green Card
For executives and senior managers transferred to the U.S. on an L-1A visa, the EB-1C green card is a fast-track permanent residency option that requires no labor certification. The EB-1C generally moves faster than EB-2 or EB-3 for many nationalities. This makes it a smart option for qualifying executives looking for long-term U.S. security.

Case Examples: How We Help Clients Succeed
Helping a UK Entrepreneur Obtain U.S. Permanent Residency Through EB-5
A UK-based financial consultant approached our team after deciding that the EB-5 Investor Visa was the most suitable pathway for relocating to the United States with his family. His goal was to expand his consulting business into the U.S. while providing new educational opportunities for his children. One of the primary challenges was documenting the lawful source of his investment funds, which came from the sale of an investment property and retained business earnings.
Our team worked closely with his accountants and legal advisers in the UK to compile a clear and comprehensive source of funds package that met USCIS requirements. We also guided him through every stage of the EB-5 process, from selecting an appropriate Regional Center project to understanding the requirements of the conditional Green Card and the eventual removal of conditions. Throughout the process, we provided realistic expectations regarding timelines and visa processing.
As a result, his EB-5 petition was successfully filed with a well-documented source of funds package. He and his family later received their conditional Green Cards, allowing them to relocate to the United States, where he began pursuing business opportunities while his children enrolled in university.
Supporting an Indian Entrepreneur Based in the UAE Through the EB-5 Process
An Indian entrepreneur who had been living and operating a successful construction supply business in Dubai wanted to establish a long-term future for his family in the United States. His primary goal was to provide his children with access to U.S. universities while maintaining oversight of his business in the UAE.
The case involved a complex source of funds review, as his investment capital came from business earnings in Dubai, savings held in UAE banks, and proceeds from inherited property sold in India. Our team worked with financial and legal professionals in both countries to prepare a comprehensive source of funds package that clearly documented the origin and movement of the investment capital.
With a carefully prepared EB-5 petition and supporting documentation, the client successfully moved forward with the application process. His family later relocated after conditional Green Card approval, allowing him to balance his business interests abroad with his family’s new life in the U.S.

Frequently Asked Questions
When to hire an immigration lawyer?
Engaging qualified immigration counsel as early as possible in the process is strongly advisable. Early legal involvement is particularly important where the case involves investor-based visa categories such as the E-2, EB-5, or L-1; where the applicant has a prior visa denial on record; where the source of investment funds is complex or multi-jurisdictional; or where the case requires strategic planning around priority dates and visa backlogs. An experienced immigration attorney can identify risks before they become obstacles, structure the case effectively, and help avoid procedural errors that are difficult, and sometimes impossible, to remedy after filing.
What is the difference between an immigration lawyer and an immigration consultant?
A licensed immigration attorney is authorized to provide legal advice, represent clients before USCIS and U.S. immigration courts, and prepare and file petitions on a client’s behalf. For matters involving investor visas, business immigration, or any application where legal strategy is required, retaining a licensed attorney is essential. The USCIS Avoid Scams page provides guidance on identifying authorized immigration representatives.
What global immigration services does Global Immigration Partners offer?
Global Immigration Partners provides a comprehensive range of U.S. and international immigration services, including U.S. Business and Investor Visas such as E-2 Treaty Investor, EB-5 Immigrant Investor, and H-1B Specialty Occupation. Global Residency and Citizenship Pathways, such as Dubai Golden Visa, and Corporate Immigration Management. With offices in Washington D.C., London, and Rome, Global Immigration Partners operates across multiple jurisdictions to serve clients worldwide.
Do I need a lawyer to apply for an E-2, L-1, or EB-5 visa?
There is no statutory requirement to retain legal counsel for these applications. However, the E-2, L-1, and EB-5 categories are among the most document-intensive and legally complex petitions adjudicated by USCIS. Deficiencies in source-of-funds documentation, business plan preparation, or job creation evidence routinely result in Requests for Evidence or outright denials, adding months of delay and placing the underlying investment at risk. The overwhelming majority of successful petitions in these categories are prepared by qualified immigration attorneys. In the context of the total investment and business costs involved, professional legal fees represent a prudent and proportionate expenditure.
How does Global Immigration Partners support companies managing employee visas?
We provide end-to-end corporate immigration support for businesses of all sizes, including L-1 intracompany transfer programs for executives and specialised employees, H-1B cap-season filing strategy, E-Verify enrollment and I-9 compliance, RFE response management, and status transitions from nonimmigrant work visas to permanent residency through the EB-1C, EB-2 NIW, and EB-3 PERM pathways. Each corporate client is assigned dedicated counsel to ensure consistent communication and proactive program management throughout the immigration cycle.
What nationalities can apply for an E-2 Treaty Investor Visa?
The E-2 visa is available to nationals of countries that maintain a qualifying treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. As of 2026, more than 80 countries hold E-2 treaty status, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Mexico. Nationals of countries without an E-2 treaty relationship, including India and China, are not eligible under this category and should explore alternative investment-based pathways such as the EB-5 program. Current treaty country eligibility is confirmed on the U.S. Department of State E-2 Treaty Countries list.
What does the immigration journey typically look like for a business investor?
The immigration journey for a business investor generally proceeds through several defined stages: an initial strategy consultation to identify the appropriate visa category; business or investment structuring; preparation of supporting documentation, including source-of-funds evidence, business plan, and organisational records; petition filing with USCIS or a U.S. consulate; and ongoing case management through to green card issuance and removal of conditions. Timelines vary considerably by category, an E-2 consular application may be resolved within two to six months, while the EB-5 process typically spans two to five or more years. Qualified legal counsel is valuable at every stage of this journey.
How do global immigration services help businesses with demand for skilled workers?
As demand for skilled professionals continues to outpace domestic supply in many sectors, businesses increasingly look beyond their home markets to attract and retain top talent. Global Immigration Partners assists employers in navigating H-1B specialty occupation petitions, L-1 intracompany transfers, and O-1 extraordinary ability visas, as well as technology sector-specific immigration strategies. Every filing is prepared with precision to minimise the risk of delays, RFEs, or disruption to the employer’s workforce planning.
