There are some options, but I am not sure if they would apply to you.
- The E1/E2 treaty investor visa is unavailable to you since India is not a treaty country.
- The L1 visa may be an option but the requirements are that you are employed by the foreign entity for at least one year before you are able to work in the US for the US subsidiary. Assuming the Indian parent company has not been started yet, this may be too long of a waiting period.
- Finally, you may consider EB-5 investor visa but the investment requirement is $1 million (with some exceptions) which investment must create employment for at least 10 US persons authorized to work. If you have this kind of money to invest, this is an option.
As always, this is just a rough guide, consult an attorney for more nuanced analysis. I will be happy to provide you with a free consultation over the phone, please email me at info@cilawgroup.com if you would like to schedule.
