Frequently asked questions

The initial consultation has a fixed fee communicated at the time of booking. During the call, Dra. Izi Pinho evaluates your case, explains your legal options and presents a clear strategic plan — with no commitment to hire after the consultation.

It depends on the case type. The EB-2 NIW for Brazilians is CURRENT in 2026, with approvals ranging from 8 to 18 months. A marriage-based Green Card with a U.S. citizen averages 10 to 13 months. An E-2 visa can be approved in 3 to 6 months. We provide realistic timelines specific to your situation during the consultation.

Yes — and that is one of our greatest differentiators. We assist immigrant entrepreneurs and executives with company formation, contracts, corporate structuring and Brazil-U.S. taxation, integrating immigration and business law under one roof.

Bring any relevant immigration documents (passport, current visa, USCIS notices), identification and any paperwork related to your case. After scheduling, we send a detailed preparation checklist so you arrive fully ready.

Yes. Foreign non-residents can open an LLC in the U.S. without a work visa or Green Card. The process is 100% remote. At Pinho Law, we handle everything: Articles of Organization, EIN from the IRS, Operating Agreement and bank account setup.

Brazil is not a signatory to the E-2 treaty. However, Brazilians with dual citizenship — Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, among others — may qualify. If you hold dual citizenship, schedule an evaluation so we can assess your profile.
