Gridlock in Congress has prevented the passage of new immigration visa opportunities for entrepreneurs, including the “start-up” visa program. On August 2, 2011, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of USCIS announced a series of initiatives to make current immigration law more responsive to the needs of entrepreneurs. This initiative creates some interesting new approaches for obtaining nonimmigrant and immigrant visas for entrepreneurs and the talented professionals who they need to be successful in their enterprises.

Our firm is developing strategies for using this new initiative, in conjunction with existing immigration rules and regulations, to create a platform for obtaining appropriate visas for foreign-born entrepreneurs and the talented foreign-born individuals they seek to hire.
