ANNONCE REFERENCE 01-005: LA CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE

FRANCO-AMERICAINE DE LOS ANGELES

Hi,

I am a French man actually living in Germany, and I want to move to the United States and extend my career in IT development with an experience in the US.

My research on the Internet shows that 3 types of visa are possible to reach my objective.

For 6 years I worked partly as independent IT consultant and developer and wrote, sold and supported software (like the trainings management software www.dasTM.de).

The 3 types I found:

  H1B - Members of the professions (known as specialty occupations)

    I try to find a sponsor but it is very difficult to find one

   and the visa are difficult to become.

  L1 - Intra-company Transferee Visa

    Can I create a "branch" office in the US?

    What are the requirements?

    My wife can get an L2 visa if I get the L1. Right?

  E2 - Treaty Investor Visas

    As a partly independent IT consultant and developer, can I try to get this visa?

    I will extend my activities in developing, selling and supporting software.

    Do I have to create first a firm in Germany (like a GmbH)?

    To get this visa, can I create a business in the US?

    Or do I have to invest in an existing company?

    Can my wife get a work permit if I get an E2 visa?

As I speak French and German, I am thinking also to propose my services for enterprises that have customers in France and Germany and need support for them.

Can you advise me on which is the best visa for me?

How much time and funds are needed to establish an office?

I want to go abroad till this year.

Do you deliver other services I can use to build my business or do you know who can help me?

I will need some help to start the business:

preparation before I move, creating the business and get the business license, assistance in marketing, writing the contracts, helping in bookkeeping and tax, ...

Can you also assist me in the different authority transactions?

Like how to get a social security number, get the right insurance, etc.

Should you need any information, please contact me.
