L1 - Canadian corp wishing to create office in US

[canuck123]

Hello,

I own a Canadian incorporated business for which I am the sole employee.  Most of my clients are in the US and I wish to set up an office in the US with hopes to obtain an L1 visa for myself.  Is this possible?  

My long term goal is to apply for a green card.  What is the process for achieving this? 

 

Is an L1 visa an easier route and less risky route to obtain a green card or should I be considering the EB5 program in which I will invest my own funds?

 

thanks

To obtain an L-1, the business abroad must remain active. As the sole employee, this likely will not be possible.

 

Are you a Canadian citizen? If so, perhaps an E-2 would be a better option.
