Helping Entrepreneurs and Foreign Businesses Move to the United States
Several visa categories allow foreign nationals to live and work in the United States while operating or expanding a business. The most common options for entrepreneurs and international companies include the O-1 visa for individuals with extraordinary ability, the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) green card, the EB-1A extraordinary ability green card, the L-1 visa for multinational executives and managers, and the E-2 investor visa.
Each pathway serves a different type of entrepreneur or business structure. Choosing the right visa depends on factors such as your professional achievements, investment level, company ownership structure, and long-term goals in the United States.
When we represent your company, our objective is to make your short-term need to hire a foreign worker easy, with the ultimate aim of helping your company achieve its long-term vision for growth. We discuss your company’s background and immigration policies to help you design and help implement a long-term strategy for hiring and for retaining foreign workers.
We are immigration practitioners, but we are also your advisors. Our exceptional team of dedicated attorneys and business-minded paralegals is backed by top-of-the-line technologies to make the process of filing visas successful, seamless, and each step fully accessible to you and to your employees. Our overall goal is simple: to help you fulfill your long-term growth objectives by making it easy to grow your international workforce; and, while we create the strategy for this, to make your immediate international hiring processes smooth.
It is our job to create your immigration process so that it is without any high drama or delays and your new foreign hire is in the office, ready to work, on time, every time.

Immigration Desk – L1A for new company granted in 10 days (Oct 2022)
L1A granted October 2022 (decision time 10 days)
The people at Immigration Desk were great from the start, professional and organized. Starting with the consultation to advise me which visa type was right for the business I was looking to create in the US, they guided me on the best route and the pros and cons so that I could make an informed decision.
After deciding on the L1A route, it was clear what I needed to provide for my L1A petition. Everything was managed very professionally, and I was able to submit the petition as soon as the team at Immigration Desk has meticulously checked my documents and everything went as expected.
I received a minor RFE, which was expected since it was the first time my company had applied for a L1A. USCIS requested a minor clarification about my petition and Immigration Desk responded within 3 days. USCIS then issued the approval within 7 days. So once the documents were assembled it was very quick indeed.
I would definitely recommend them for the future and I know I will be needing them to move some of our employees in the near future.
EB3 to EB2 Conversion: Best in Class Service
EB3 to EB2 Conversion: I worked with Anu and her team from Immigration Desk. They provided best in class service, were very professional and responded quickly to my queries. Anu and her team were very courteous and even after filing the petition, I reached out to them to request guidance from time to time. I recommend them to all my friends who need any immigration help.
Anu Gupta and her team deliver: EB-1C green card approved in record time
Many thanks to Anu Gupta and her team, who managed my international manager green card case with 100% success.
Attorney Gupta and the Immigration Desk team filed my EB1-C I-140 and the I-485, I-131 etc. The I-140 application got approved without any RFE in 8 months. I really appreciate her commitment and for filing all our applications on time. Anu and Ian are meticulous with paperwork and her staff, are always there to assist us.
We listened to Anu's advice all the time, and it paid off. In 8 months, we got our green card approval without any RFE or interview.
In nutshell, Anu Gupta and her team are committed to their clients, timelines and deliver what is expected!"
Very impressive as a friend to her clients – Complex L1 approved
I first knew Anu Gupta from google-searching for " the best immigration lawyer in Boston area". I read lots of good comments about her. Therefore, I decided to try her services as my case for L1A application was a bit complicated. Anu is very serious lawyer with details and facts, she always looked for small details and connections of facts, so that my L1A application material was flawless and convincing. I am so glad that my L1A was approved just in 5 months from the very beginning of the application. Anu is very impressive as a friend to her clients. Her professionalism and her knowledgeable background are really helpful for the newcomers to enter the US market.
Thank you, Anu.
An excellent job done on EB-1B, outstanding researcher green card
I highly recommend working with Attorney Anu Gupta on U.S. immigration issues. Anu has done a great job for me on a number of my applications. Especially, Anu has done an excellent job with my Outstanding Researcher petition (EB-1B) which was successfully approved after her intelligent judgments on how to prepare my case and in responding to the RFE.
She has guided me throughout this petition process. She has helped me in choosing the experts/scientists for recommendation, helped in preparation of these letters, and suitably highlighted my research background that resulted in getting approval of my petition. She and her staff at Immigration Desk Inc were very patient and available most of the time I needed them, with and without appointments. She has done my other petitions successfully as well such as H1B approval and EB-2 PERM and I-140 approvals.
I am really happy to recommend Anu for EB-1 petitions.
Thanks,
