VisaProAdviserVisas, migration and life abroad
Covers US business immigration — from intracompany transfers to investor status. Looks closely at structure first: how the company is built, who reports to whom, and whether that survives USCIS scrutiny, rather than which visa looks "easier".

It breaks down when a co-working space counts as an office for L-1, where E-2 source-of-funds money can actually come from, and how proving executive capacity for L-1A differs from an L-1B specialized knowledge role.
