The History of Business Immigration Visas and Permanent Residency
Business immigration visas and permanent residency after World War II had a profound and lasting impact on the economic landscape of many countries, particularly the United States and Canada.
One of the most significant consequences of business immigration visas and permanent residency after World War II was the injection of entrepreneurial spirit and innovation into the host countries’ economies. Many immigrants brought with them unique skills, experiences, and business acumen, which played a pivotal role in driving economic expansion.
Moreover, business immigration visas and permanent residency were instrumental in the development of small and medium-sized businesses, which are the backbone of many economies.
World Trade Organization (WTO)
The World Trade Organization (WTO) was created in January 1995 and today has over 164 member countries. Business immigration visas play several important roles for members of the World Trade Organization. The WTO is an international organization that aims to promote global trade and reduce barriers for international commerce. Business immigration visas and permanent residency support these goals in various ways.
Encouraging Foreign Investment
Business immigration visas and permanent residency can promote economic integration among WTO member countries. When professionals, investors, and businesspeople move across borders with ease, they can form cross-border business relationships, establish joint ventures, and develop small and medium-sized businesses, which are the backbone of many economies.
Conclusion
When implemented in accordance with WTO principles, business immigration visas and permanent residency can be powerful tools for advancing goals of international organizations and promoting global prosperity.
All the above is applicable to the following:
Knowledge is Power
Understanding your rights and privileges as a company or business professional is imperative to the success of your enterprise when expanding your operations throughout the world, particularly in the United States of America. Most importantly, are the rights and privileges of your employees and their families being transferred to manage and operate your enterprise.
When obtaining your US business visa, you have the same rights and privileges as Americains.

164 members of the World Trade Organization (WTO)
What has been determined?
International business immigration policies and procedures when WTO members expand their operations in a WTO member country. All key employees (the Dream Team) and specialized skill employees are admissible with their families to be transferred from their home country to the American division and/or divisions throughout the world who are members of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Who is admissible?
Employees who are essential to the success of the operations according to the policies and procedures established by the business or company. According to their business culture, they can all obtain US business visas and can apply for permanent residency. Their spouses can obtain work authorizations and their children (under 21) can go to school without having to pay international fees.
We compare this to the sports world.
Very much like professional sports across the world, expansion visas consist of your best people, establishing your Dream Team. A head coach or general manager is hired to perform at the best of their ability to lead their team to victory and know they cannot execute alone. They make sure that they are accompanied by the best support – their assistant coaches, athletic therapist, strengthening professionals, etc. The pieces of the puzzle that they know can be trusted to achieve a common goal.
As businesses choose to expand their operation’s growth abroad for the better of their company, they must be permitted to be accompanied by their selected key employees (their Dream Team) and specialized skill employees. Those that understand the operations and business culture share a passion for the success of the company. When there is a lack of chemistry within the team, loss is unavoidable.
