Topic: Startup & Entrepreneur Immigration Pathways: From Visas to Green Cards

Date: Thursday September 18, 2025 at 1:00 PM CST

Founders and early-stage teams face unique immigration hurdles—from choosing the right launch status to structuring equity and roles that meet “employer–employee” requirements. This session breaks down practical pathways and common pitfalls for startup leaders and investors.

This webinar will cover topics including:

• Founder-friendly nonimmigrant visa options: the new entrepreneur H-1B; O-1 (extraordinary ability) for founders; STEM OPT considerations for startup employment; short-term B-1 planning for exploratory visits.
• Entrepreneur tracks: E-1/E-2 treaty trader & investor basics (ownership, nationality, and “substantial investment”); L-1 “new office” for overseas founders.
• Structuring roles & equity: meeting employer–employee and wage obligations; board seats, advisory roles, and control/ownership issues for H-1B and O-1 founders.
• Company operations: physical office space, remote/distributed teams, and compliance red flags for early startups.
• Fundraising & travel: timing raises with status; consular strategy and travel planning for founders.
• Green card pathways: NIW (national interest waiver), EB-1A (extraordinary ability), and PERM labor certification and which option makes sense for a particular startup.
• Road-mapping your case: building evidence, letters, and timelines aligned to product and funding milestones.
