I am the founder of a successful UK-based design agency looking to expand into the US.
I have already incorporated a Delaware C-Corp (via Stripe Atlas) and am preparing to file an L-1A "New Office" petition later this year.
I am looking for an experienced US Immigration Attorney for a 1-hour strategic consultation to review my roadmap and validate my eligibility before I transfer the capital.
My Current Status:
Parent Company: UK Limited Company (Active, profitable).
US Subsidiary: Delaware C-Corp (Newly formed, 100% owned by me).
Capitalization: Plan to transfer $45k–$60k as an intercompany loan over the next 3-4 months.
Hiring Plan:
Implementing a "Hybrid" structure (Remote US Admin + Global Design Team) to satisfy the managerial requirement.
What I need from this consultation:
L-1A Feasibility Check: Validation of my "Hybrid" hiring plan—specifically, is a part-time US Admin sufficient for a Year 1 "New Office" approval under current 2026 scrutiny?
Capitalization Strategy: Review of my plan to transfer capital in monthly installments (from Upwork - UK - US) rather than a lump sum.
Timeline & Strategy: Best timing to file (e.g., after 3 months of US bank activity vs. waiting for full $60k).
2026 Policy Outlook: Assessment of any new risks for MENA-region founders under the new administration rules.
Requirements:
Proven track record with L-1A New Office petitions (specifically for bootstrapped/lean startups).
Experience with founders from the MENA region is a plus.Up-to-date knowledge of 2026 adjudication trends (USCIS "Managerial" definitions).
If the consultation goes well, I am looking to retain legal counsel for the full petition filing in May 2026.
