For individuals seeking to work or immigrate to the United States through the L-1A Intracompany Transferee Visa or the EB-1C Multinational Executive or Manager green card, one of the most crucial—and often misunderstood—requirements is proving managerial capacity. This is a well-defined legal standard that must be satisfied through concrete evidence. Without it, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will not approve the petition. Although the L-1A is a nonimmigrant visa and the EB-1C is an immigrant petition that leads to a green card, both filings share a common requirement: the applicant must have worked abroad in a managerial or executive…

The REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, created a set of security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards. While much of the public attention has focused on how this affects domestic air travel, REAL ID compliance also plays a crucial role in accessing certain federal buildings, including those used by immigration agencies.

Being a founder can feel like a 24/7 operation. And when we look at the failure rate of new businesses, it makes sense why. 20% of new businesses don’t make it past their second birthday, and 45% of businesses shutter their doors after just five years.

For founders to do that successfully (without crashing and burning), they need to know how to compartmentalize their work, lives, and emotions.Compartmentalization of this nature is like a founder’s secret…

Content marketing has become one of the most popular forms of marketing over the last decade or so, and with good reason.
