I have a publishing business in the UK and Spain and have decided to start a Florida based magazine. My thoughts are to open a US Inc company invest the required sum to get first publication out ($250,000).

I do not need to be there as long as I can find the three salespeople and one administration person. All production, design can be done from Europe for the meantime until things settle down.

I do not have to be there all the time Initially I will spend 4 weeks there getting people set up and office underway and initial training underway and then return home. After that I can just come for a week every six weeks to ensure things are working properly.

My goal is to build the US business up over the next three years and then look to move there Lock Stock and Barrel when my eldest is ready to leave school and go to university.

I know things are going to change in three years regarding Visas but Am I on the right track and what visas do I need

All advice is gratefully accepted

With that sort of investment and with a existing company overseas ..
the L-1A Visa Intra-company transferees...maybe ideal for you ..

Looked at L-1 and from my understanding you have to be resident in UK for at least three years I have been a resident of Spain for that amount of time and the UK company only has a staff of 4 people

Also I have been told that US congress is debating on the L-1 Visas and if they will keep them going or make vast changes to the criteria

Then you will need maybe a B-1 for all those regular trips ...
