Indeed, and they now send people to examine the physical location, and that it makes sense location and size wise for the stated purpose, etc. Thus, lawyer. If you don’t need to be physically located in the US, you don’t need a visa, so remote is not going to cut it.

 

And correction, the company files the i129 to petition the foreign employee/manager. The actual visa application is always by the applicant for the visa, in this case, OP. But the process is petition filed/petition approved (or RFE before approval, or denial)/visa application (if approved). First step in the process is to find a competent lawyer.

That is all clear, thank you.

Ok

I would say the EB2 is kind of out of the question based on what your intentions are. 1.5 will not be enough for a non-TEA. What are the source of funds? I believe most of NYC is probably not in the TEA but there might be some. This is definitely not a DIY process so if you are serious about the EB5 you should contact a lawyer. There is A LOT of paperwork/work associated with this visa and it will take a couple years to do

 

 

FYI I did an E2 a few years back and got it Premium Processed and everything done in a couple months. If your intention is to get to the US asap then I would suggest going down a non-immigrant path first and then pursuing the immigrant path when you get here

Thank you, I started gathering evidence for the E2 visa earlier this year but then Covid hit. So thank you for that advice, I was thinking the same thing.

Sounds like you will be accumulating lots of air miles.

(Note that L1 visas are banned till the end of the year, but I there is not way you would have been at visa stage by then anyway so I don’t think that’s really relevant to you anyway.)

Yup, the processing time means PP 10052 is probably not relevant to OP, but I'll note that there was a Court Order affecting PP 10052: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/court-order-regarding-presidential-proclamation-10052.html "whose petitioner is a member of, one of the above named organizations is no longer subject to PP 10052’s entry restrictions."

For example, a petitioning company could join the US Chamber of Commerce: https://www.uschamber.com/members/join-chamber
