Immigration for Startups: A Guide for Founders

The chronicles of business in the United States are filled with endless stories of foreign entrepreneurs risking it all to build some of the most quintessential American companies and products. U.S. immigration law, however, favors the foreign-born employee coming to work for a U.S. company over the immigrant entrepreneur.

Immigration for Startups: A Guide for Founders is for foreign-national founders who want to build America’s next great company. Whether you are reading this from abroad, in the United States as a student, or currently here working as a traditional employee of a U.S. company, immigration attorneys Jason Susser and Greg Siskind are here to help you navigate the U.S. immigration system and understand your options.
