Foreign investors seeking to establish businesses in the United States should consider the L1 visa (intra-company transfer) over the H-1B employment visa, as the L1 visa is easier to obtain and requires an investment of approximately $100,000 or more, while the H-1B visa is employment-based and faces significant restrictions under current immigration policies.

EXCLUSIVE | GUIDE TO SET UP BUSINESS IN UNITED STATESAdded:
Horn bill TV is here in the final day of the 2026 select USA summit. We have spoken to several delegates who have spoken about their interest in investment in the United States and many of the investors in fact yesterday horn bill TV saw over 12 big companies who invested in the United States. Not just that but over 20 billion dollars of investment from the Indian companies were announced which was by far one of the biggest announcements made in the 2026 select USA summit. We are here with one of the delegates again and many of times when we talk about investment or business in the United States. The first concern is the visa concern and here we have someone who actually helps the people who wants to do business here. He guides them. Not just that he also guides them do their visa. help them, let them know how to go about uh and also not just the visa alone but there are so many steps you have to secure first before you come here and their company just does that for any Indians not just Indians right anyone who who >> all Middle Eastern nationals >> yes yes all right okay thank you so much u for speaking to TV and giving us your time sir kindly introduce yourself first >> thank you so much I appreciate that you're giving me an opportunity to show people how you know they can come to United State.
>> Yeah, >> Select USA has been a very good vehicle explaining the people how they can come to United State and set up their business.
>> My company for last more than 25 years has been helping the people from our part of the region especially from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh >> to come to United State and set up their business. My company helps them setting up their entities here, opening the bank account, analyzing their qualification whether they can continue the business or they cannot and then help them to set up the business here in United State.
>> The location choice the people can do but I normally prefer people to set up their business in the state of Georgia >> which is one of the state where I live in. Another question. Yesterday on the first day I was speaking to one of the investors here. Yeah.
>> He mentioned about the difficulty in getting the visa especially H-1B visa.
>> And so >> look the H1B visa is an employment visa.
It's not based on the investment.
>> There are investment visas separately.
Yeah.
>> And they are easier than H1B visa. Under the current administration, yeah, >> H1B has lot of restrictions.
>> Yeah.
>> And the timeline also for getting those visas are long.
>> But if somebody is interested to invest here, there are other visas which are available.
>> One of the visa for business is L1.
Yeah.
>> Which is called intra company transfer.
M >> if somebody has a company overseas, they want to open an office in United States >> and if they invest a good money especially approximately $100,000 plus >> that person can get a visa to come to United State and that is much easier compared to the L1 H1 visa. Yeah, in the inaugural session if you are present uh one of the delegates representing the United States spoke about the visas as well and in fact assured the L1 visa will be easier for people who wants to make investment. Was that assuring enough for an Indian like you who has been here for more than 20 years? Yes, I have been very successful in getting the visas L1 for my Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi clients.
>> This has been the easiest thing for me so far.
>> Mhm.
>> H1B is not the same. It's difficult because that's employment based.
>> Yeah.
>> United State people or the government they don't like people to just come here and take the job from local people.
>> But invest money, bring the money here and spend. And that is the reason L1 visa has more uh possibilities of getting approved compared to H1 visa.
>> Yeah.
>> I believe you have met a lot of investors and we have seen a lot of Indian investors too >> and a lot of them even made their announcements and how was your conver conversation like with them and did any people seek for help? Did any people make you also realize that it's very important for them to find guiding companies like you? I have very good potential during these last two days of meeting. I have several inquiries >> and I think hopefully those inquiries will turn into a positive business shortly.
>> Okay.
>> There are several Indian groups are interested to set up their business in United State >> provided they have a good help.
>> Mhm.
>> And which is what we do.
>> Yeah. Yeah. say something uh very important. What is the guide or what is the way for young investors? Many young investors especially there are also many young investors in the northeast India also who would love to invest in a country like uh the US. What are the things they should have to come and invest in a state in a country like this? All these kind of potential investors we have to have a conversation with them and typically handhold them and guide them what they can do in United States >> how they can be successful which is what our main job is. Mhm. So we we also know of a lot of people who are setting up companies and also the American the United States uh the government has also told uh while speaking exclusively to Honda TV one of the resource person said that they're interested in helping um startups. So see at the end of the day when it comes to invest investing in the United States unlike many other countries they need money to invest.
What do you think is the average uh investment they should be doing here?
They must be doing here when it comes to if we're talking about the money sir.
>> Okay. See the amount of investment typically depends what activity you want to do.
>> Yeah.
>> It's really just you have to give a justification based on your type of activity.
>> Mhm. Typically for L1 visas we start an investment of $100,000 US dollars plus and then guide them how they can grow.
>> Okay. All right. And one last message on your answer for the people who are wanting to come here make investments and who are interested in business. What would be your message for them and how how can they connect to you or how can they contact you if they want to come and invest and if they need uh a guiding company like yourself?
>> My number can be shared with them.
>> My office will help them to see and analyze what they want to do here.
>> I just want to say one thing. I've been in this country for over 36 years >> and I'm very happy.
>> Yeah. And this is the only country I will say all over the world where when you work hard >> you are rewarded.
>> Not in other countries. I'm not saying I'm originally I'm from India. I came to this country but today things are different.
>> So anyone who is coming from overseas and working hard here the success is going to definitely be with them.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> All right. Thank you so much for uh speaking to Hornville TV sir. We have had a little uh in fact many insight from you but like you said the investors have to personally talk to you let you know about let them let you know about their kind of investment the amount of investment and then only you can guide them right sir >> that is a good idea because the we have to see what exactly the investor also has in their mind >> so we can you know propose them a proper format or proper setup.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Thank you so much for speaking to us.
