Uncertainty about immigration status is an unwelcome stressor for founders who are already stretched in 100 different directions. Over the past decade, we have worked with hundreds of founders ranging from high school students with a dream to published PhDs with many years of industry experience.

Whether you are launching a VC-backed, high-growth startup, or a lifestyle company you hope to run for years to come, we can use our extensive experience to pinpoint the best short-term options to get you working in the US ASAP, and formulate a long-term plan to help you work towards permanent status.
