Q: You're an athlete seeking an O-1 visa — how does the process work?

The O-1 visa is for athletes who demonstrate extraordinary ability in their field. The process involves compiling the athlete's record of achievement (awards, media coverage, federation letters), preparing the application with employer or agent support, and submitting it to USCIS. One of our clients had their case approved within 3 months.

Q: Can you open a business in the U.S. with an E-2 visa?

Yes, the E-2 visa allows Turkish citizens to open a business in the U.S. by investing. With a file documenting the investment plan, business model, and source of funds, one of our clients launched their own business within six months.

Q: My spouse is a U.S. citizen — how long does my Green Card process take?

The spousal Green Card process takes 8-10 months on average. A fully prepared file can shorten this; one of our clients reached the interview stage in 6 weeks.

Q: Which visa is right for transferring a manager from abroad?

The L-1 visa is typically used to transfer a manager or specialist within the same corporate group. With a file prepared to match the company structure, one of our clients completed a manager transfer smoothly.

Q: I'm an academic — what documents are needed for an O-1A visa?

An O-1A application requires publications, citation counts, peer-review roles, and documents showing recognition in the field. One of our clients with a strong academic background had their case approved within 4 months with these documents.
