How to Hire an Immigration Lawyer for Investor Visas
Hire an immigration lawyer with direct, recent experience in the specific investor visa you are pursuing — EB-5, E-2, and investor-track permanent residency programs each have distinct capital requirements, source-of-funds documentation standards, and processing timelines. Generalist immigration experience is not a substitute for investor visa specialization.

尋ねるべき質問
初回の相談時にこれを尋ねて、強い候補者と弱い候補者を迅速に見分けます。
1.How many investor visa cases have you handled in the last three years, and what is your approval rate?
重要な理由： Investor visas are among the most complex immigration matters. Case volume and approval rate are the most direct measures of whether the attorney can navigate the layered legal and financial requirements.
2.How do you structure the source-of-funds documentation, and what patterns in that documentation typically trigger scrutiny?
重要な理由： Source-of-funds analysis is the most common denial trigger for investor visas. Attorneys who can describe specific scrutiny patterns — not generic best practices — have genuine experience with the adjudication process.
3.What is the realistic timeline from filing to approval, and what are the key milestones I should track?
重要な理由： Investor visa processing spans 2–5 years across multiple stages. Milestone awareness lets you plan business operations, capital deployment, and travel around the case timeline rather than being surprised by each stage.
