The terms of the loan mostly don't matter. One of them does. ⏳

— The interest rate doesn't have to be a market rate. It can be lower;
— The length of the loan doesn't matter either, as a legal requirement.

But when in doubt, write the loan for as long as possible. Here's why:

If the loan runs one year, a consular officer could ask how you plan to earn
$50,000 in twelve months to pay it back. Write it for five years or longer and
the payback date falls **after** the visa expires — at which point they don't
really have grounds to ask.

Charles notes his firm has never actually run into this. It's a question of
removing the opening before it exists.

The same trap, twice more: contribution to the field, and articles. 📰

**Contribution to the field** is a very popular EB-1A category. If your company
is doing cutting-edge work — AI especially right now — the achievements have to
be credited to you, not to the firm at large. To what you brought to the
company, how you set it up, how you're building it now.

**Articles** run into it too. If your products and services are well known there
is probably a lot of press about the company. But EB-1A needs the focus on you
as the founder or co-founder, and on the role you played.

So even when the company and its products have earned real recognition, we often
have to prepare new articles centred on the founder and his or her influence on
the sector.

These look like small nuances. They're not.

The number that should change how you plan. 📉

Under the current administration, both categories turn on one question: what
will you do after you arrive, and why should the US care? A transactional test —
what's in it for us.

It shows in the statistics. Over the last six to nine months, approval rates for
EB-1A and even NIW are **below 40%**. That's about half of what they used to be.

AmLaw Group's own numbers haven't moved. Challenges are up, but the practice
runs at 98–99% approvals on EB-1A — in large part because, where possible, cases
are built toward EB-1A rather than down the harder NIW route.

When no collateral is involved, the paperwork is simpler than people expect —
but it lands on the lender, not on you. 📑

The person lending or gifting the money has to show how he or she earned it.
That's essentially it.

— Money from a job and savings: employment confirmation, bank statements, tax
returns;
— Money from rental income: documentation on the properties, income statements,
bank statements showing the money coming off them.

Here's the part that matters: unlike EB-5, you don't have to go back and show
where the money came from to buy those apartments in the first place. **You
don't have to go that far back with an E-2.**

The first pitfall founders hit on an EB-1A. 🏆

You've built a business, it's successful, it's been recognised. Good — but in
EB-1A terms that's a problem, because the recognition, the prizes and the awards
almost certainly went to **the company**, not to you personally.

For an EB-1A we have to show you got that recognition personally, and that the
company won those awards as a result of your own efforts and knowledge.

There's no universal solution. It depends on the award:

— Some name the people involved — here's the CEO, here are the co-founders,
here are the leading officers;
— Some just name company XYZ and stop there.

Where they stop, the work is to show you were the driving force behind it.

Acquiring an existing business looks like a shortcut. There's a catch. 📑

Take on an ongoing operation and you can inherit unknown tax liabilities, commercial liabilities and commercial obligations along with it.

The way around it: 🧠

Purchase the assets of the company rather than the legal entity. You're not buying the shares, so you're not buying the history that comes with them.

You can also build protection into the agreement — indemnities covering tax obligations that surface over the next year or five years and relate to the period before you took over.

Talk to a corporate attorney, not just an immigration one, before you sign.

The common assumption is you must keep a controlling stake in the foreign
company. That isn't true. 📊

Say you want to exit the overseas business gradually and you've found a buyer —
and the buyer wants control, because otherwise they won't buy. You sell 60% and
stay on with 40%. A minority share. Sounds fatal for an L-1.

It isn't, on one condition: **the two companies have to mirror each other.**

If that buyer also takes 60% of the US company, so the same shareholders hold
roughly the same amounts in both countries, it works. What you can't do is hold
100% of the US company and 40% of the foreign one.

The usual structure is still the simple one — your client owns both outright.
But control of the foreign company can be sold, provided the ownership structure
matches on both sides.
