Starting a Business in VEGAS

[daniel_perth 0]

Hello All,

I am curious to know if anyone is doing the journey of trying to start a business in the states. At the moment my wife runs a great floristry business mainly doing wedding flowers. We are trying to move to Las Vegas and we figured this could be a good way. Does any one have any advice or is in a similar boat?

I am wanting to work as well, however I know it can be hard to get on a visa which allows me to gain employment, so i am even looking at possibly studying a course and trying to get a student visa.

Please help.

Hi there, not enough info....

You are from Australia and your wife is a USC?

You are not on any visa at the moment? You don't have EAD (work permit)??

Im thinking about a job or a business too, since my Aus profession can't be transferred to US without a master degree and length certifying process. i'm on K-1. and after I get married i will have an EAD.

we are thinking of doing soap candle business, or sell some handmade crafty things online.

apologies for being vague.. Me and my wife are both Australian, both trying to migrate to the US. so far we have nothing, as we are in the infancy of our journey, but just trying to get an idea..

ummm i see, that I'm not sure, please wait for others input.

I got a friend with her husband from Sydney, they entered the green card lottery and got it! It's a rare case I suppose.

Google "investor visa" to get started.

Google "investor visa" to get started.

unforunately we don't have a spare 500k to put into the business, we are wanting to start from scratch there.

currently she runs the business with 3 employees, but it is still a new business.

thanks for your help so far.

Starting up a new biz without substantial investment capital isn't likely. (to obtain a visa)

Student visa is for more than taking a course or two. And it doesn't authorize you (or an accompanying spouse) to work.
