–Determine the basic organizational structure and share structure of the company.

–Register a company with the state government.

* Except for insurance, finance and other industries, ordinary companies do not need special licenses, and the company's establishment documents will be approved soon after being sent to the state government.

After the company is registered, it can start to apply for L- 1 visa.

B. Prepare branch materials

The materials submitted to the Immigration Bureau include not only the parent company materials mentioned above, but also the branch company materials, mainly including:

–company registration documents;

–Shareholders' agreement or partnership agreement (if more than one shareholder unit or company is a partnership);

–Equity certificate;

–application form;

–application letter;

–bank account opening certificate;

–Office rental

The immigration law requires applicants to submit bank account opening documents to prove their economic ability to operate in the United States for one year. At the same time, immigration laws should

Require the applicant company to prove that it already has a business place in the United States.

If the scale is small, it is generally appropriate for a company to apply for no more than two L- 1 visas.

You can apply for a green card for company manager after the year. It usually takes six to eight months to apply for a green card.

D. Apply for a US visa

In order to avoid visa refusal, applicants should make full preparations before going to the visa. This preparation is divided into two aspects:

–Document preparation. The applicant can notarize the relevant information of the parent company, and bring the company's employment certificate, photos of the company's office, and proof of business dealings with foreign countries, such as contracts, waybills, letters, telex, etc.

The applicant requires a comprehensive understanding of the parent company, especially the business of the applicant. Applicants should have a clear understanding of the company's plans and objectives for opening a branch in the United States. Convince the visa officer that you really have a practical plan to let the branch operate in the United States, instead of using the L- 1 visa to do other things in the United States.

In addition, the applicant should truthfully fill in the visa application form (OF- 156). Failure to fill in the form truthfully may lead to the rejection of the visa application. Even if the visa is approved, it may have very serious consequences if it is discovered when applying for a green card or planning to be naturalized in the future.

Forms are not true in the following situations:

–Marital status or age. If you think you are married or older, you may have a higher chance of success, but you have not filled it out truthfully;

-Concealing the fact that visa applications were rejected in the past;

-Concealing the fact that you have applied for an immigrant visa;

Don't mention the fact that parents, siblings, spouses or children are in the United States.
