Q: I plan to emigrate abroad. Extended visa will come with a limited partnership in a foreign business. Allowed? How?
I hope to become a silent partner in an LLC in the state of Israel or in Great Britain, a fine art gallery. Am I allowed to do that prior to emigration? I hope to use that "work status" as the owner of a business there to obtain residency as an ex-pat. I hope to not get ripped off, to enter into a contractual agreement and to spend $10,000 investing in it. How do people go about that? What lawyer should I see in NYS to undertake the project this year? Are legal aliens allowed to own a share of a business there? What are the laws of governance concerning that? Where can I do the research? These are the many questions I have.
A: Your post remains open for almost a week - some of the issues mentioned, such as emigration, alienage, visa, etc. could be things that an immigration attorney would have insight into. There's no guarantee that all questions are ultimately picked up, but you could try reposting with Immigration Law added as a category (and maybe Business Formation). If that doesn't yield a response, you could consider reaching out to attorneys to discuss a consult - either independently on your own or through the Find-a-Lawyer tab above. Those arrangements would be between you and the attorney. Good luck
