Business visas in Orlando for people who already run a company
From the Orlando office, Pinho Law builds the visa and the company structure together. The paths the firm handles are the L-1 for an executive transfer, the O-1 when the record supports extraordinary ability, and the E-2 only for someone who holds citizenship of a treaty country. Brazil is not an E-2 treaty country.

Who it is for
- An owner of a company in Brazil who is opening, or has opened, a Florida operation and needs a visa that matches the role.
- An executive or manager who worked at the foreign company and will run the U.S. office. That is L-1A territory.
- A professional with awards, publications, or a leading role who wants the O-1 looked at, not treated as an automatic shortcut.
- A Brazilian with Portuguese, Italian, or other treaty citizenship who wants to know whether E-2 fits an Orlando business. Without that citizenship, E-2 does not open.
How the firm handles it
1. One consultation for the visa and the company
The wrong LLC or corporation structure sinks the visa. The consultation looks at both before anything is filed.
2. Picking the path
L-1, O-1, and E-2 are not interchangeable. The firm says which one the record supports and which one is out.
3. Filing
Once the path is set, the firm prepares the petition and the company documents. Timing follows USCIS processing at that moment, not a promised date.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Brazilian get an E-2 for a company in Orlando?
Not on a Brazilian passport alone. Brazil is not an E-2 treaty country. Someone with another treaty citizenship, such as Portugal or Italy, can be evaluated for E-2. The firm's other paths are L-1 and O-1.
Does L-1 require an office that is already open in Orlando?
It requires a qualifying link between the foreign company and the U.S. company, and, for L-1A, a managerial or executive role on both sides. A new office has its own rule and a shorter first period. The consultation checks whether the operation exists or is still being formed.
Can the visa be discussed in Portuguese in Orlando?
Yes. The office is at 6965 Piazza Grande Ave, Suite 401, Orlando, FL 32835, and the consultation can be in English, Portuguese, or Spanish.
Does the firm guarantee the visa?
No. USCIS decides. The consultation is there so the firm does not file a path the record does not support.
Case results depend on specific facts and do not guarantee future outcomes. This is not legal advice.
