Starting a Business in the USA - Visa issues???

[bderich]

G'day guys,

I am currently considering a business proposal based in the US that could be quite profitable. However, my only real concern are around immigration Visa's the work/run a business in the US. Is there anybody here who has had experience applying for the E-3/H1B Visa's for the USA? Or any experience in opening a business in America?


Any info would be greatly appreciated

Hi bderich, I have only been able to come up with and am only aware of the E-3 Visa (http://canberra.usembassy.gov/consular/visas/niv/e3.html)... However as stated on the us embassy site, this visa is only for Aus citizens going to work in temporarily in a specialist field...

I have however stumbled across "ABC's Business Basics" (http://www.abcsmallbiz.com/bizbasics/gettingstarted/investor_visas.html). Check out the link, they have some interesting information for non-US citizens wanting to start a business in the U.S.

HOpe that helps.

I'm a US citizen (currently living in Florida). From what I understand with immigration you would need a work visa and not a temporary visa in order to start a business here. Those can be harder to get than regular student visa's though.

I used to struggle to make ends meet, then I found the Savings Society where I earn a $25 Gas Gift Card each month for each new person I enroll. Plus I earn commissions on every person in my organization, regardless of whether I sponsored them or not! In the short time that I have been in the Savings Society, I have earned more that it cost me to start this business!
