U.S. Visas and Immigration Strategies for Cross-Border Growth

Heather Fathali | Attorney, Cascadia Cross- Border Law

Expanding across borders also means moving people across borders. Heather Fathali explains how the right visa and immigration plan can make cross-border mobility seamless, strategic, and stress-free.

Key Insights:

  • Match the visa to the role. E-2 for investors, L-1 for executives, and TN for professionals—each has a purpose.
  • Build strong documentation. Support letters, company charts, and business plans strengthen every application.
  • Plan early for permanence. Long-term visa or green card strategies should align with business goals.
  • Coordinate across disciplines. Visa timelines, tax structures, and compliance plans work best when designed together.

When people move smoothly, businesses grow faster. Smart immigration planning is strategic business planning.
