•Please be aware that at this time, the IRS is incurring significant delays in issuing employment identification numbers (EIN) to foreign nationals who currently do not possess a Social Security Number. The average wait time is currently 6 to 8 weeks and for this reason, Visa Franchise recommends you start working on this process as soon as possible. You are not able to open a corporate bank account without an EIN.
•Although Visa Franchise has vetted all investment opportunities in our portfolio from an investor Visa standpoint, each client’s Visa application might vary in accordance with specific details of their background and the context of their application. For this reason, Visa Franchise defers any decisions on whether an investment is suitable to a client’s investor Visa application to their respective immigration attorney.
