Visa Categories We Serve
We provide comprehensive immigration legal services focused on employment- and investment-based visas. Our most requested visa types include:
E-2 Treaty Investor Visa
Ideal for nationals of treaty countries investing in and managing a U.S. business. Norfolk’s growing hospitality, logistics, and maritime industries make it a great fit for E-2 ventures. We help you structure your investment and present a compelling petition.
EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa
This visa allows qualifying investors to apply for U.S. permanent residency by investing in job-creating projects. We guide clients through EB-5 eligibility, Regional Center selection, and USCIS compliance for investment in Norfolk-based developments.
L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visa
If your foreign company is expanding into the U.S., the L-1 visa allows you to transfer executives or specialized employees to a Norfolk branch or subsidiary. We help structure your company’s presence and manage every stage of the petition process.
H-1B Specialty Occupation Visa
With Norfolk’s active healthcare, technology, and engineering sectors, the H-1B visa is crucial for bringing in international talent. We support local employers with H-1B petition preparation, compliance, and strategic planning.
