Immigration Considerations for Entrepreneurs
Immigration attorney, Mary E. Walsh
U.S. immigration regulations do not clearly define employment and never contemplated the new era entrepreneurs, influencers and social media. In a time where it seems many students and scholars are interested in launching a new business endeavor, foreign nationals must beware and tread very carefully. What should non-immigrant students and academics know about launching a business at various stages of their immigration journey? What activities count as U.S. employment? What options exist for work authorization both in the short-term and longer-term alternatives. Find out the answers to these questions and more during an informational session by immigration attorney, Mary E. Walsh, a partner at Iandoli Desai & Cronin, P.C. which is a firm specializing in U.S. immigration law.
