In order to obtain a permanent resident visa for E-2 investors, we obtained and developed financial reports, tax returns, business licenses, corporate documents, certificates of good standing, marketing brochures, foreign vendor invoices, and statements from a foreign embassy.

To enable a Middle East company and its personnel establish a new business enterprise in Washington, D.C., we obtained and developed shareholder documents (with English translation), share certificates, certificates of good standing, charts of projected staffing needs, corporate hierarchy charts, lease documents, draft agreements with potential capital investors, strategic plans for expansion into the U.S. market, consultant proposals, reseller agreements, and software contracts.
