L-1A Approval for Vice President, Business Development (Start Up- Mobile App Developer)

The Parent Company did show complexity in management, but had little by way of a management structure established in the U.S. Be this as it may, a “New Office” can demonstrate viability by documenting the managerial/executive nature of a position through a solid business plan [...]
Interventional Radiologist (H-1B) – O-1 Visa Followed by National Interest Waiver (NIW)
The Physician Resident was running out of H-1B time and approached us because a previous I-140 Petition (NIW) seeking a waiver of the job offer – INA § 203(b)(2)(B), had just been denied.
