Relocating a family or a business to the United States is a personal decision with many moving parts. Our private client immigration service gives investors, entrepreneurs and families a discreet, attorney-led plan for getting to the United States, settling in, and building toward a green card and citizenship.
We start by comparing every realistic route against your timeline, your family and how involved you want to be in a U.S. business. The main options are:
Many clients combine routes, for example arriving on an E-2 or L-1 while a green card petition is prepared.
For investor cases, the government wants to see not only the investment but where the money came from and how it traveled to the United States. That can mean years of salary records, business sale documents, property sales, gifts, loans and bank transfers across several countries and currencies. We build a clear, documented path of funds and translate it into evidence an officer can follow. Read our E-2 source of funds guide.
A spouse and unmarried children under 21 can usually be included as dependents, but each route has its own rules, and a child approaching 21 needs attention early. We plan filings with the school calendar in mind, so that children can start the school year in the right status, and we confirm what each family member’s status allows, including study and, for spouses, work authorization.
Private clients usually have a tax adviser, a banker or wealth manager, and often counsel in their home country. We coordinate with them so that the immigration plan, the investment structure and the timing of transfers fit together. Ozek Law Firm does not give tax advice: tax questions, including U.S. tax residence and reporting, go to a qualified tax adviser. When foreign law is involved, we coordinate with licensed local counsel and remain your single point of contact.
Your financial and family information is protected by attorney-client confidentiality. We limit access to the attorneys and staff working on your matter, exchange documents only through our secure client portal, and share information with your other advisers only with your permission.
Private client matters can be handled at our Premier service level. See how we work for what each of our service levels includes.
We give a fee quote at consultation because scope varies. We do not promise approvals or processing times.
