Q: I currently work for a non-profit organization in Iraq, and the ngo would like to open a branch in the USA, can we?
A:
With the internet essentially anyone can open "branches" anywhere. It depends on what you mean by a branch.
I think you are asking more of an immigration or temporary work visa question regarding who "might possibly" be permitted to travel to a new physical location in the states for the purpose of work regardless of profit or no profit.
Such an inquiry should be directed to a law firm (often big firms) who help businesses, which include non profits, with HR and staffing needs.
