5 REASONS WHY THE E2 VISA MAY BE YOUR WINNING TICKET TO THE AMERICAN DREAM If youre a successful foreign entrepreneur, here are 5 reasons why the E2 investor visa may be your winning ticket to the American dream: #1. Invest as little as $100,000 usd The law simply says that you must make a substantial investment in your new U.S. business. But in practice, immigration officials tend to want to see an investment of at least $100,000. #2. Start a new U.S. business, buy an existing business, or invest in a franchise. You have options with the E2 visa. #3. Renew your E2 visa (indefinitely) The original term of an E2 visa is typically 5 years, but you can renew it as long as your E2 enterprise continues to operate and grow. #4. Bring your family members Not your whole family, but your spouse and any children under the age of 21 are eligible for derivative E2 visas. #5. Potentially adjust your status to permanent residency (green card) This is Joseph Bovino, U.S. immigration and business lawyer.

3 COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN APPLYING FOR AN E2 VISA Here are 3 common mistakes to avoid when applying for an E2 investor visa:: #1. Choosing a Shady Business U.S. officials who review your E-2 visa application will consider whether your native country is known for criminal activity such as human smuggling, drug trafficking, or organized crime. So try not to choose or invest in a U.S. business that might appear to be a front for such activities, such as a massage parlor or strip club. If possible, go with a U.S. business that won’t raise eyebrows or red flags. #2. A Messy Paper Trail To qualify for an E-2 visa, you need to submit a clear, clean paper trail of your substantial investment in your new U.S. business. If the paper trail or money trail is messy, your application will not be well-received. #3. A Weak Business Plan Your U.S. business also must be open or ready to open as soon as your E-2 visa is approved and issued. So you’re going to need a strong business plan. That E-2 visa isn't going o do you much good if your business fails, is it? This is Joseph Bovino, U.S. immigration and business attorney.

5 Takeaways from Florida’s New Anti-Illegal Immigration Law (Part 5 - Counter-Terrorism) This is part 5 of my breakdown of the new Florida anti-illegal immigration law, which goes into effect on July 1st. Counter-Terrorism Did you know that Customs and Border Protection reported that 16 people on the FBI's terror watch list were arrested by Border Patrol at the southern border in April 2023 alone. That single month is considerably more than all four years of FY17, FY18, FY19, and FY20 - combined. And who knows how many more entered the U.S. undetected under Biden's open borders policy? Well, Florida's new anti-immigration law seeks to address this growing threat by, among other things: * Adding "immigration enforcement incidents" to all existing laws relating to counter-terrorism efforts; and * Granting the “Chief of Domestic Security” authority to coordinate “immigration enforcement actions” in assisting the federal government. Sounds good to me. This is Joseph Bovino, Miami-based immigration and business attorney.

5 Takeaways from Florida’s New Anti-Illegal Immigration Law (Part 4) This is part 4 of my breakdown of the new Florida anti-illegal immigration law, which goes into effect on July 1st. Driver’s Licenses The new law provides that Florida will not recognize out-of-state driver's ilcenses issued to “undocumented immigrants” who cannot provide proof of "lawful presence" in the United States. And if an undocumented immigrant with an out-of-state license is stopped by the police, the officer will give them a ticket for driving without a valid license. What does it mean to say that an undocumented immigrant can't produce any proof of "lawful presence" in the U.S,? Well, it means that the individual couldn't produce, for example, a valid I-94, a valid Temporary Protective Status (or "TPS"), proof of a pending asylum case (and there are A LOT of those), a valid DACA, or even proof that they're currently in removal proceedings.

5 Takeaways ftom Florida’s New Anti-Illegal Immigration Law (Part 2) This is part 2 of my breakdown of the new Florida anti-illegal immigration law. Hospitals and Collecting Immigration Status Information The law requires hospitals accepting Medicaid to “include a provision on its patient admission or registration forms for the patient to indicate whether the patient is a U.S. citizen or lawfully present in the United States or is not lawfully present in the United States BUT the law expressly states that the inquiry on the form must be followed by a statement that the response will not affect patient care or result in a report of the patient’s immigration status to immigration authorities AND the patient does not HAVE to provide their immigration status to hospitals The law even requires the admission or registration forms to include an option that states “decline to answer.” The law also requires hospitals to submit reports about “the costs of uncompensated care for aliens who are not lawfully present in the United States, and the impact of uncompensated care on the cost or ability of hospitals to provide services to the public.

5 Key Parts of Florida’s New Anti-Illegal Immigration Law (Part 1) There's a lot of hysteria and misinformation from the open-borders crowd about Florida's new anti-illegal immigration law, which goes into effect on July 1, 2023. Well, I'm Joseph Bovino, U.S. immigration and business attorney, and I’d like to help you understand 5 key parts of the new law. Part 1: Employment Eligibilty and E-Verify Okay, under the new law: A. It is unlawful to knowingly employ, hire, recruit, or refer an "unauthorized alien" for employment in the state of Florida. B. Employers must verify each new employee’s employment eligibility within 3 business days. C. Private employers with 25 or more employees must use the federal E-Verify system for all new employees. D. An unauthorized alien who knowingly uses a fake ID to obtain employment has committed a 3rd-degree felony. However, please note: An individual is not considered an unauthorized alien under this law if they have a work permit, even if they entered the U.S. illegally. And individuals who are hired for casual labor to be performed within a private residence are not considered to be employees under this law. They’re independent contractors.

What You Should Know about the U.S. Southern Border Crisis 🇺🇸 Do you realize that Joe Biden inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years from President Trump? So why do we have a crisis at our southern border? Simple, Joe Biden made a political decision to cause this crisis by: #1. Bringing back catch-and-release, which has allowed millions of asylim seekers making patently bogus claims to be released into the United States. #2. Halting construction of the border wall, which has allowed countless numbers of illegal immigrants to enter the country #3. Ending the Remain in Mexico policy, which required asylum seekers to await resolution of their claims in Mexico What’s in it for Biden and the Democrats? Political power. They’re confident that millions of mostly poor, illiterate illegal immigrants flowing into the country will eventually become part of their political base, and that’s all that matters.
