Q. What kind of visa will my friend need if he is planning to come here and do business?

February 13, 2019

A: Hello,

There are several "business" visas available. What kind of visa is suitable for your friend depends on the type of business and the amount of money he/she will invest in that business. Talk to an immigration attorney or have your friend talk to an immigration attorney in private to identify which visa is best for your friend.

All the best.

A: If you already have a green card you will not have problems with your green card. If you have a conditional green card you can file a petition with USCIS to remove conditions on your green card. An experienced immigration attorney will be able to help you with this process. I suggest you talk to an attorney in private, many attorneys including me offer free consultations.

Regarding custody, only a family law attorney can answer that question. I see that you tagged it properly, let's hope someone answers.

All the best.
