For Business
Immigrants are fundamental part of and interwoven into the fabric of this nation of brave that contribute tremendously to US economy making it the richest nation in the world. Some of the most influential entrepreneurs in the United States are immigrants or children of immigrants. To name a few Google founder Sergey Brin, who fled the Soviet Union as a young boy almost 40 years ago; Yahoo founder Jerry Yang, who emigrated from Taiwan at age 10; Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, PEPSI CEO Indira Nooyi all of who emigrated from India. Isn’t it so impressive to note that, more than 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies in 2010 were founded by immigrants or their children? Some of the major companies from the past few decades—such as AT&T, Apple, and Google—and also older giants, such as McDonald’s, General Electric, and Bank of America. Fortune 500 companies are an integral and inseparable part of the US economy; in particular, the 40 percent founded by immigrants or children of immigrants generated more than $1.7 trillion in revenue and employed 3.6 million people in the United States in 2010 alone. Apart from immigrants’ contributions in big businesses, they have also made an impact as small-business entrepreneurs.
We have successfully filed and received approvals for most complex and critical business immigration petitions including but not limited to Blanket L1 petitions, H1B, L1A, L1Bs, O1, TN, E3 petitions amongst large volume of other petitions.
Family Immigration
Ever since the enactment of Immigration and Nationality Act in 1965, legal immigration to the United States has been based primarily on the family ties or the work skills of prospective immigrants. The contributions of family-based immigrants to the U.S. economy are manifold that play a significant role in business development and community improvement and are among the most upwardly mobile segments of the labor force. It is interesting to note that the extended immigrant families and close-knit immigrant communities ease the economic assimilation of new immigrants and promote investment in U.S. human capital as well as the formation of businesses. Many of the most outstanding high technology firms have been created by foreign-born entrepreneurs.
The world renowned economist Harriet Duleep once said:“Family visas are an important complement to high-skilled visas; skilled immigrants have families too. In considering which country to move to, will an emigrating scientist be more likely to move to a country where his family members, including siblings, parents, and adult children, can also live, or to a country where only certain family members are welcome? Would Einstein have continued to live in the U.S. had he not been able to bring over his sister Maja? A family-friendly policy may be one reason the U.S. has been able to attract immigrants with stellar qualifications.”
