BRIEF EXPLANATION OF ICT NON-IMMIGRANT VISA

An ITC Visa is a non-immigrant visa available to any manager or executive of a foreign business. It is also available to an employee of the foreign business should that employee have specialized knowledge in a particular field. The following will deal ONLY with the Intra Company Transferee The ICT beneficiary must be able to demonstrate that he/she has been employed on a full-time basis on a managerial or executive position by the foreign business for at least 1 year within the 3 years preceding his/her entry to the USA. The ICT visa has no numerical limitations and there are as many available visas for this category as there may be qualified applicants The ICT visa is usually issued for 1 year to a new start-up business in the USA and can be renewed for a total of up to 7 years. However for a renewal of the initial 1 year ICT visa the USA business must demonstrate employment of workers and increase in business or potential business and growth of the business. The ICT Visa is renewed for 2 years at a time THE BUSINESS IN THE USA CAN BE THE SAME AS THE BUSINESS OVERSEAS OR TOTALLY DIFFERENT The ICT visa, once approved, automatically entitles the ICT beneficiary spouse and unmarried children less than 21 years of age to be issued a dependent visa. The dependent visa entitles the Spouse of the ICT holder to work in the USA for any business and in any type of organization. The minor unmarried children of the ICT holder cannot work but can attend school/college. The ICT visa holder and the dependent spouse, who obtains work permission, will receive Social Security Numbers and can obtain Drivers Licenses

Once the business in the USA has been operative for at least 1 year then it is possible, to not only renew the ICT visa and dependents visas, but to apply for permanent residence (Green card) in the USA .This process can take about 18 months. It should be noted that for a successful conclusion to the Permanent Residency Application both the USA and foreign businesses must continue to operate and have employees in both entities and have adequate capital available for business purposes or show financial statements demonstrating sufficient profit to support the USA office. This latter issue means ability to pay all salaries, office expenses, etc It is to be noted that if the USA subsidiary or affiliate of the overseas entity has operated in continuous business in the USA for at least 1 year before filing the ICT Petition then the following may occur : A. The ICT initial visa could be obtained for either 2 years instead of the 1 year in a new USA business as mentioned above. B. If the Executive or Manager of the business overseas does not wish to come immediately to the USA and only desires to come at a later stage, then a Petition for Permanent Residence (Green Card) can be filed without the need of firstly filing for an ICT Visa

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON intra company transferee VISA & EB-1C (PERMANENT RESIDENCE)

1. What are the basic criteria to qualify for ICT status? A. Employment in an executive or managerial capacity with an overseas entity for at least 1 year prior to entry to USA. This employment to be within the 3 years preceding entry. Thereafter the proposed transfer to the USA to work in an executive or managerial capacity for a USA subsidiary or affiliate of the overseas entity 2. Is there a minimum amount of money needed in the USA? A. No but at least about $30000.00 should be transferred to the USA entitys bank account. 3. I know that the USA entity must be a subsidiary or affiliate of the overseas entity, but what is the definition of those terms? A. (1) Subsidiary: The USA entity must be owned at least 50.1% by the overseas entity

(2) Affiliate: This means that the shareholders in the USA and the overseas entities must be the same individuals and their shareholding in each entity must be approximately the same 3a. Must the business in the USA be the same or similar to the type of business conducted by the foreign business? No. The business in the USA can be the same or totally different than that conducted by the business abroad 4. For what period can I get an ICT Visa? A. If the USA entity is a new one then the ICT is for 1 Year If the USA entity has been operating for at least 1 year (Whether it operated as an independent business or a subsidiary of the overseas entity is irrelevant) then the ICT-A will be approved for 2 or 3 years depending on the Immigration Officer adjudicating the case 5. Can I renew the ICT-A Visa? A. Yes, prior to its expiry, but this is subject to the foreign entity continuing in business and the USA entity having done business in its first year and showing either a profit or a potential for profit and showing increasing turnover. Furthermore Immigration will require a demonstration that the USA entity has employed USA workers. It is preferable that a minimum of 3 workers be indicated. The renewal period is usually given for 2 years and on occasions for 3 years. The total period of an ICT Visa is 7 years

6. If I get an ICT-A Visa what will my family get and what does that visa entitle them to do?: A. Spouse and children under 21 years unmarried receive dependent visas. The Spouse can obtain work permission from the INS, thereby entitling her to work anywhere for any business in the USA. The children can study at school or college and the family can obtain Drivers Licenses

7. What, briefly stated is required of the new USA entity for the ICT-A visa? A lease of business premises for at least 1 year and photographs of inside and outside : A bank account in the name of the USA entity showing funds

therein A business license or the Application for the license A letter of employment from the new USA entity to the proposed ICT A beneficiary Copy of Certificate and Articles of Incorporation Proposed organizational chart Telephone/Fax installation confirmation

8. What, briefly stated is required from the foreign business (that is the business in the foreign country) for the ICT-A visa? Proof of its existence for over 1 year and the operative nature of the business. This is attended to by providing documents such as 1) Certificate and Articles of Incorporation or if sole proprietorship then business registration certificate or if partnership then partnership agreement: 2) Bank statements for last year 3) Examples of receipts, invoices, purchase orders, etc (2 of each for latest 6 moth period): 4) Lease of business premises or if owned then Deed of Ownership plus photographs of the inside and outside if the premises: 5) Photographs of products (if applicable): 6) Examples of advertising and/or brochures or pamphlets of the business: 7) Any special business licenses issued by any local or Government authority:

8) Tax returns of the business for the last 2 available years together with financial statement: 9) If latest tax return not available then an unedited financial statement for the period: 10) Payroll returns for last year: If individual requesting ICT-A is not set out on business payroll due to the executive or managerial nature of employment, then a letter from the Accountant of the business confirming the individuals employment on a

full time basis in the appropriate Executive or Managerial capacity. This letter should further confirm date of commencement of employment through to the present and explain that individual not on payroll as Executives or Managers are placed on regular worker payroll. Organizational Chart 9. How long does it take to get an L-1A visa?: Between 60- 120 days from filing. However there is a Premium Processing Service now available in terms of which on payment of a $1000.00 to the Immigration Service the latter will make a decision in 30 days from date receipt of the Premium Processing request together with the $1000.00 fee 10. If I am here on a B-2/B-1 visa can I change to ICT-A visa? Yes it is usually approved but of course not guaranteed. If approved the alien receives a new I-94 confirming the ICT-A status and there is then no need for the alien to leave the USA. If not approved this means the ICT-A will be approved but the alien will have to return to his home country to have the ICT-A visa stamped in the passport by the US Consul and thereafter can return to the USA. If the change of status 11. Once Immigration approves the ICT-A visa can I go to Mexico to have it stamped in my passport by the US Consulate there or must I return to my home country for this procedure. I know I will need the stamp to enable me to travel in and out of the USA? Technically yes, but it is very risky as should the visa be refused for any reason the ICT-A holder and his family will have to return immediately to their home country for the visa. Therefore the prudent step would be to plan, at the alien=s convenience, a return to the home country and have the visa stamped in at the Home country Please note that if you have no intention of traveling outside the USA then you do not need a visa in your passport. The new I-94 which will be issued to you by the Immigration Service on approval of the ICT-A visa will be sufficient for you to remain legally in the USA for the duration of the period set out on the I-94. The same situation applies to your family members as regards their ICT-2 visas. 12. If I am outside the USA when the ICT-A Visa is Approved by the Immigration Service what is the procedure to enable to have the Visa stamped in my passport so that I can come to the USA in ICT-A status?: When the Immigration Service approves the ICT-A visa we will transmit to you the Original Approval Notice together with a full copy of the Visa

Petition and all accompanying documents that we submitted to the Immigration Service. We will also forward the applicable Visa Application forms DS 156 & DS 157 (Which we will assist you in completing for you as far as possible). On receipt of the mentioned documents you can immediately make an appointment with the USA Consulate in your area for the interview for you and your family to have the ICT-A and ICT-2 dependent Visas stamped in your passports 12. Can the ICT-A visa lead to Permanent Residence (Green Card)? Yes this is possible for the ICT-A holder and his/her spouse and minor children unmarried and under 21 years of age The Immigrant Visa Petition (I-140) can be filed with the Immigration Service after the USA business has been operative for at least 1 year. It is essential that both the USA and the foreign business be operative at all times. Also the USA entity should have as a minimum about 3 workers aside from the ICT-A beneficiary. However the more workers the better the success possibility. Please note that the number of workers necessary is not a legal requirement but more of a practical requirement to demonstrate the fact that the alien beneficiary is working in an Executive or Managerial capacity and not merely attending to day to day tasks. To obtain Permanent Residence the procedure can take between 12 to 18 months Note that whilst the Permanent Residence Application (EB-1C) is pending you will be legally living and working in the USA on your ICT-A visa and can also travel in and out of the country as often as desired as along as the visa has been stamped in the passport. If the ICT-A visa is not stamped in the passport travel is still possible if the alien has a pending Adjustment of Status Application. In this latter instance a request can be made to the Immigration Service for advanced parole to travel abroad and return to the USA. Also should the foreign business be unable to provide certain of the documents on their list then please advised and after discussion it is possible that certain of the listed documents could be dispensed with The spouse of the ICT-A beneficiary is able to request work permission in the USA. The initial ICT-A is for 1 year (Unless there is a purchase of an existing business in the USA that has operated for at least 1 year in which latter event 2 years can be initially obtained. ICT-A status/visas can total 7 years) Please note that ICT-A/ICT-2 dependent visas are renewable as

advised above but in order to do so the issue of employees in the USA business is of prime importance .Please call so that this can be carefully discussed) As far as Green Card (permanent residence is concerned this can be applied for after the USA business has been in operation for at least 1 year. This is the EB-1C category & is currently available to all aliens no matter from which country. No Labor Certification is required here & this known as INTRA-COMPANY TRANSFEREE)

EXAMPLE OF RESOLUTION FROM FOREIGN BUSINESS TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN:

We desire and intend to conduct a business in the U.S.A. and specifically in _____________ commencing in 2009. The business in the USA will be established through the formation of a company in the State of _______________ and this will be an Affiliate of our business in (CITY & COUNTRY). We believe in the success of our proposed USA Corporation we will do all possible to ensure its organization and establishment and prosperity and profitability. This will include assistance in the transfer of knowledge, information, personnel as required and particularly assistance in all financial matters. As and when further funds are required we will invest the required sums. As regards the finances of the USA corporation we shall provide funding to it as and when it is necessary as regards its business operations as well as payment of salaries. Our support in this area will commence immediately it is required and will continue for as long as is necessary. We are able to provide the funding necessary for the USA office in view of our financial ability and stability .We will therefore be able to support our USA office as regards salaries, rent and operating expenses. This support is irrespective of the ability of the USA office to support itself It is therefore our intention, as is made clear in this letter, to fully financially support the USA business for all its needs including salaries, rentals, and cost of goods and so on. This will continue until the USA business is self supporting and sufficient that it will not require our assistance. Mr ______________ is to be transferred to the USA business as the President so that he can establish and organize the business as well as hire the necessary and adequate employees to conduct the daily ongoing proposed business. The proposal to transfer is for 1 year We commissioned the preparation of a Feasibility Study and Combined Business Plan for the proposed Business. This Plan will include details of the number of employees required in the business and their proposed positions in the business.

We are aware that the choice of the precise location of the proposed business can only be made once Mr.____________ is transferred to the USA. Mr. ___________________will make the final determination of exact location after he has made a full investigation of the proposed area including the demographics, geographical location, population make up, cost issue, availability of staff and related matters. Therefore in order to start our USA operation we will need an premises from which Mr. __________________ can conduct his investigation and determination of the exact location of alternative premises. This office will allow Mr. ___________________to conduct meetings and interviews with proposed employees as well as other business people and people needed to attend to the development and establishment and make the required contacts and telephone calls. The transfer of Mr. ___________________ at this time is the only proposal for a transfer to the USA. It is possible that later on we may require further transfers but this cannot be decided now

PRESIDENT.
