Chnage of B1 visa to work visa

Answered 7 years and 8 months ago by attorney Alan Lee, Esq.   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
If you are a national of the country that has a treaty of commerce and navigation with the US entitling its nationals to apply for E-1 treaty trader or E-2 treaty investor visa statuses, you could begin the company through a manager who could be in charge until the time that you have all of the documentation ready to submit for either of these is status. Both statuses envision a national of the treaty country owning at least half of the enterprise, constructing a business which is more than a mom-and-pop shop, and either conducting substantial trade between the US and the treaty country (E-1) or investing a substantial amount of money in a commercial business (E-2). A legitimate purpose of a B-1 visa entry is to look for business opportunities in the US, but the visa does not allow someone to work here without authorization.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

I was studying about Immigration suddenly I came across De-Naturalization.

Answered 13 years and 7 months ago by attorney Mr. David Troy Cox   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
Many countries allow for dual-citizenship, in which case, a citizen could be prosecuted in either country under that country's laws.  De-naturalization usually occurs because of proof that the naturalized citizen obtained citizenship in the US by false means.  This might include evidence that earlier steps immigration process involved false information.  A conviction in a foreign country that occurs after one becomes a naturalized citizen would not affect one's citizenship in the US.  ...

How can I make the "change of venue" ? I have a travel document for Palestinian refugees issued from Syria, and currently I think to move to the USA?

Answered 14 years and a month ago by Brian Lincoln Aust (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
You need to clarify your question. "Change of venue" has a very specific meaning in immigration parlance that refers to the Immigration Court system. Based on what you have written, I guess my question, where are you living now?
