Hi,
I'm working on a new startup, which I'll be incorporating soon. I'm trying to decide whether to incorporate it in the US or in my home country (which has a treaty with the US, if that makes any difference). I'm wondering whether the country of incorporation plays a role in getting an L1 visa approved? (I'm leaning towards an L1 because I'd like to keep the door open for potentially applying for an EB-1C in the future)
In other words - do startup executives in US-incorporated companies get preferential treatment over foreign countries when it comes to visa applications?
I'm trying to plan ahead and make sure I also take visa factors into consideration before choosing where to incorporate, given that I'm planning to spend a considerable amount of time in the US (raising capital, networking, hiring etc') once the Covid dust settles.
Would appreciate some guidance from you fine people.
Thanks!
