En The Legal House, creemos que la ley de inmigración debe sentirse humana.
E‑1 & E‑2 Treaty Visas
E‑1 and E‑2 Treaty Visas allow eligible nationals of treaty countries to enter the United States temporarily to conduct substantial international trade (E‑1) or to invest in, develop, and direct a U.S. business (E‑2). These visas may be obtained through consular visa processing abroad or, when eligible, through a change of status (COS) within the United States, and are designed for investors, entrepreneurs, and key employees actively involved in bona fide commercial enterprises. At The Legal House, we assist clients with preparing and presenting well‑documented E‑1 and E‑2 applications aligned with these requirements.
F‑1 Student Visas
The F‑1 Student Visa allows international students to enter the United States to pursue full‑time academic studies at an accredited school or approved program. F‑1 status may be obtained through consular visa processing abroad or, when eligible, through a change of status (COS) within the United States, and requires ongoing compliance with enrollment and employment rules, including eligibility for CPT, OPT, and STEM OPT when applicable. At The Legal House, we assist students with eligibility review, application preparation, and guidance on maintaining lawful F‑1 status throughout their studies.
TN Visa for Canadian and Mexican Professionals
The TN visa, created under the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), allows qualified Canadian and Mexican professionals to work in the United States in designated TN‑eligible occupations. This visa category is commonly used by professionals in fields such as engineering, healthcare, science, education, business, and technology, and is available for specific job offers with U.S. employers.
TN visa applications require precise documentation demonstrating professional credentials, qualifying job duties, and compliance with USMCA requirements. At The Legal House, we assist professionals and employers with preparing TN visa applications through consular processing or, when eligible, change of status, ensuring submissions are accurate, well‑supported, and aligned with U.S. immigration standards.
B-1 / B-2 Visitor Visas
B‑1 and B‑2 visitor visas allow individuals to enter the United States temporarily for business activities, tourism, medical treatment, or visits with family and friends. B‑1 visas are generally used for business‑related travel such as meetings, conferences, or contract negotiations, while B‑2 visas cover tourism and personal visits.
Applicants must demonstrate that their travel is temporary, that they have a clear and permissible purpose, and that they maintain strong ties outside the United States. At The Legal House, we assist clients with preparing clear, well‑documented B‑1/B‑2 visa applications that accurately reflect the purpose of travel and address common issues that may lead to delays or denials.
