US Immigration for Tech Startups: A Practical Guide for Founders
Tech startups can access multiple U.S. immigration pathways including H-1B, L-1 (for transfers and new offices), O-1A (extraordinary ability), EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW), and EB-5 investor visas. Each option has specific requirements and benefits—from employer sponsorship needs to eligibility criteria. Choosing the right visa depends on the startup’s goals, founder’s qualifications, and business plans. Contact Kirchner Law for tailored guidance.
