Business Visas We Handle

Our firm focuses exclusively on U.S. immigration and naturalization law. Below are some of the most common business-related visa options we help clients pursue:

E-2 Treaty Investor Visa

The E-2 visa is ideal for nationals of treaty countries who wish to invest a substantial amount of capital into a U.S. business. Alexandria’s diverse economy and proximity to federal agencies make it an attractive location for E-2 investors looking to grow innovative ventures.

EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program

For those seeking a pathway to permanent residency, the EB-5 visa allows qualified investors to obtain a green card by investing in a new commercial enterprise and creating jobs. We guide investors through every stage—from selecting a project to filing the I-526 petition.

L-1 Intracompany Transferee Visa

If you’re looking to transfer key executives, managers, or specialized employees from your foreign office to a U.S. affiliate, the L-1 visa is the go-to option. We help multinational businesses streamline this process while remaining compliant with USCIS requirements.

H-1B Specialty Occupation Visa

The H-1B visa is essential for employers looking to hire highly skilled foreign professionals in fields like IT, finance, engineering, and healthcare. AB Legal Consult helps Alexandria-based businesses prepare strong petitions that meet today’s highly competitive H-1B environment.

I had the privilege of working with Akosua on an EB-1 visa application, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the entire process.

From the initial consultation, Akosua demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB-1 category and laid out a clear strategy that aligned perfectly with my career background.

She was meticulous in reviewing the credentials, guiding me through the documentation process, and crafting a compelling petition that showcased the qualifications in the best possible light.
What stood out most was Akosua’s attention to detail and her commitment to excellence — every letter, form, and exhibit was handled with precision.

Her communication was prompt and thorough, and she always made time to answer my questions and keep me informed. Thanks to her skill and hard work, my EB-1 petition was approved without a Request for Evidence, which speaks volumes about the strength and clarity of the case she prepared.

If you are considering an EB-1 application, I wholeheartedly recommend Akosua. Her legal acumen, work ethic, and genuine care for her clients set her apart.
