A One-of-a-Kind New York Immigration Lawyer
By John Roth | Published on April 5, 2012 | 0 Comments
New York City is a mega metropolis and the veritable center of the financial world. Yet surprisingly, there’s no other attorney in the city with John Roth’s credentials.
Roth is an New York immigration attorney and the owner of the Roth Immigration Law Firm. While Roth practices in a saturated field replete with attorneys of all stripes, his practice is unique. The immigration attorney from New York City specializes in helping international investors and businesspeople land visas to come to the United States, and he is the only EB-5 visa specialist in the city who is also a licensed financial advisor.
Why does Roth’s particular blend of credentials matter?
According to the New York immigration attorney, the EB-5 visa demands a hefty investment in US business. Given the gravity of bringing $500,000 to $1,000,000 into the American markets, it is hard to understand how any foreigner pursuing an EB-5 could proceed without investment advice. Yet many do.
The EB-5 – a relatively new class of visa that requires foreign investors to bring large sums of capital into the US in exchange for a visa – is a relatively permissive regime. Foreign investors can put their money in new ventures, or extend existing operations to the US. But given the serious sums of investment capital required to earn this visa, it’s hardly a low-stakes proposition.
Since there is so much at stake in the investments that accompany an EB-5 visa, it would seem that the legal specialists in this domain would be financial experts in their own rights. Yet according to Roth, the New York immigration attorney, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Most of the New York attorneys who style themselves EB-5 specialists have no particular qualifications in this niche. Their expertise lies in opportunism, and perhaps immigration law in general. According to Roth, the typical New York EB-5 attorney is often poorly equipped to handle the complex business questions that accompany an EB-5 application.
Roth is different. His training is a boon for his clients. He’s able to bring decades of legal experience and financial wisdom to each case, and can turn capital and the will to do business in the US into a legal and financial win-win. At best, the EB-5 visa program is good for foreign investors, the American business community, and the country at large. Roth understands this, and in the five boroughs, he’s uniquely situated to help investors turn their ambitions into American realities.
