U.S. Federal Immigration Practice
America, from where you are.
U.S. visas, U.S. company formation, and visa-ready business structuring. Filed electronically with USCIS — for clients in Central and Eastern Europe, the Philippines, and across the world. Handled in English, with translators and Filipino counsel on the team.
U.S. Visas
Admitted to practice before USCIS with electronic filing access. Representing clients across Europe, the Philippines, and elsewhere who are seeking to live, work, or invest in the United States.
E‑2 Treaty Investor Visa
The flagship route for nationals of treaty countries — including the Czech Republic, Poland, the Philippines, and Ukraine — investing in a U.S. business. The full package typically includes:
- Investment structure and U.S. entity formation
- Source-of-funds documentation (the part most cases live or die on)
- Business plan drafted to USCIS standards — required for the consular interview
- Form DS‑160 and consulate package preparation
- Coaching for the visa interview at the U.S. embassy
L‑1 Intracompany Transfer
For executives, managers, and specialized-knowledge employees being transferred from a foreign company to a U.S. parent, subsidiary, branch, or affiliate. New-office L‑1 cases include the U.S. entity setup and first-year operating plan.
K‑1 Fiancé(e) Visa
For U.S. citizens petitioning to bring a foreign fiancé(e) to the United States. I prepare the I‑129F petition, the consulate package, and the adjustment-of-status filing after marriage. Filipino fiancée cases are common and benefit from in-country counsel on our team (see below).
Other federal immigration matters
Family-based petitions, naturalization, EB‑5 referrals, and consular processing on a case-by-case basis.
In-country counsel for the Philippines.
Our paralegal Ms. Alyza Olmilla, JD, is admitted to practice law in the Philippines. For Filipino clients pursuing U.S. visas — or anyone needing legal services inside the Philippines — she handles the local side directly through our office.
Together, the firm offers a single point of contact for cross-border matters between the U.S. and the Philippines: marriage and K‑1 fiancé(e) cases, family-based petitions, document authentication, and corporate work that touches both jurisdictions.
Build the American company before the visa.
An LLC, an EIN, a U.S. bank account, an operating agreement that holds up at the consulate. Done remotely, in two to four weeks.
U.S. Business Setup
For non-U.S. residents who need an American company — to invest, to trade, to receive U.S. payments, or to support a future visa application — the legal side is handled end-to-end, remotely, in English.
U.S. Company Formation
LLC or C-corporation formation in the appropriate state. Wyoming, Delaware, and Texas are the usual choices for non-resident owners; the right answer depends on what the company will actually do. We prepare and file the formation documents, registered-agent setup, and operating agreement or bylaws.
EIN — Employer Identification Number
Without an EIN you cannot open a U.S. bank account, hire, contract, or file U.S. taxes. We obtain the EIN for non-resident owners — including in cases where the IRS Form SS‑4 must be filed by fax or mail because the principal officer has no Social Security Number or ITIN.
U.S. Banking and Payments
Guidance — not a guarantee — on which U.S. banks and fintech platforms accept non-resident-owned LLCs and C-corps, and how to prepare the application packet to maximize approval odds.
Visa-Ready Structuring
If the U.S. company is being built as the platform for a future E‑2 or L‑1 visa filing, the structure needs to be set up correctly from day one — capitalization, ownership percentages, source-of-funds paper trail, and operating commitments all matter to the consular officer. We will not undo your structure later; we will design it once.
