India to U.S.
Expand to the U.S. without starting over.
One plan for the business move and the immigration move: a U.S. entity, an L-1A transfer, then EB-1C.
The strategy session and written assessment are free, and nothing is owed until you decide to proceed.
Two moves, planned as one
Most firms handle only the petition. We work on the business side with you at the same time, because the shape of the U.S. entity decides whether an L-1A, and later an EB-1C, is even available.
- Subsidiary, branch or acquisition, chosen for the petition
- Ownership and control documented from day one
- Your managerial role defined before anyone files
Starting or buying the U.S. entity
You can incorporate a new subsidiary, or buy an existing business or franchise. We help you compare the options, introduce brokers and advisors where useful, and keep the paperwork consistent with what USCIS will later read.
- Entity choice, state of formation and ownership structure
- Business plan, lease, hiring plan and opening capital
- Acquisition or franchise review with immigration in mind
From L-1A to EB-1C
The L-1A moves you to the United States as a manager of the new office. Once the U.S. business is operating and staffed, the EB-1C petition covers that same managerial role as a green card. We prepare both from one record.
- New office L-1A filed with the U.S. entity in place
- Extension evidence tracked through the first year
- EB-1C filed when the business can support it
Questions, answered.
Do I have to close my business in India?
No. The L-1A depends on a qualifying relationship between your Indian company and the U.S. entity, so the Indian business has to keep operating. We plan the structure so both sides stay active.
Can I buy a franchise instead of starting a company?
Often, yes. An acquisition can meet the same requirements as a new subsidiary when ownership, control and your managerial role are structured correctly. We review candidate businesses with the later petition in mind.
How long does the L-1A to EB-1C path take?
It depends on your company, the U.S. entity and USCIS processing, so we will not quote you a timeline before we have seen the facts. Your written assessment sets out the realistic sequence.
What happens if a petition is denied?
USCIS decides every case, and no firm can promise an outcome. Silverpoint carries an attorney fee refund promise on the cases we accept, and RFE and NOID responses are covered by your flat fee.
