Business Immigration

Investor and Trader Visas

As a New York Immigration Attorney, I have experience representing clients in a variety of matters, from temporary Visas to applications for U.S. Citizenship.

However, I focus my practice on Business Immigration. I am one of the very few Immigration Lawyers in New York with firsthand experience with the immigration system, having been an investor on E-2 Visa status and now a proud Dual Citizen of Italy and the United States.

I have helped many foreign investors and Companies secure Visas for entrepreneurs, managers, and specialized employees.

I offer comprehensive legal services for all aspects of Business Immigration, from investing in an existing U.S. company, starting a new enterprise, creating an international trade business with a foreign country, and more. I offer personalized and complete solutions for foreign investors, from business plan review to visa approval, and any necessary steps required in between.

My legal services include, but are not limited to:
