Open small business and hire nanny/employee

[newbies]

Hi there,

I am about to get EAD. My wife wants to open a small business (a beauty shop).
I have the following question.
1) To open a beauty shop, how do I need to do to register?

2) Could I be the owner of the shop (while I is still on H1B, I don't want to use my EAD if not really needed) and my wife will run it ?

3) We want to hire a nanny from our country to the US to take care our kid. As I read this forum, the requirement is that the nanny must work for us 1 year before we enter to the US. The problem is we has been here years ago. However, few years ago, my parents hire a nanny to take care our family at home. Could we come back to prove that we meet the nanny and then enter to the US to do all paper work? If we can, how can we do that? What kind of visa?

4) Could we hire someone from our country to work on our shop? If yes, under what kind of visa?

Thanks,

newbies,

I would like to wish you best on luck in your new venture. You should go ahead and recruit the nanny (or any worker you want) from your parents house. I believe you are from an asian developing country. Anyone from that region knows that workers are paid cash and usually spend most of their years working for one family. Even the US consulates in these countries are aware of this situation. There is no harm in trying to recruit on of your parents servants for the nanny position. I do not believe that they will be refused visa just on the basis that they worked in your parents house and not yours especially when most of the immigratns "used" to live with their parents before they came here. What's the most they would do, refuse the visa??

Try H2 visa for your employee...this visa does not require a college degree. H1 visas are full for this year...you can go for it next year...if a college degree is not required to work for a beauty shop then I wonder where all these beautians with college degrees work. It is the same as saying that a college degree is not required to be a construction project manager when there are both types of project managers...ones who have college degrees and the ones without a college degree but started from the very bottom of the ladder in the construction industry.

Do not give up your plans just because some yahoo on this board says it can't be done...you won't know unless you try!

What you believe is irrelevant. The US immigration law is what counts. And a visa denial makes it harder to apply for other visas...
The H2 is for seasonal work, not for year-round work. And it actually is even harder to get and the application process is very long, compared to an H1. Since a beauty shop is not seasonal, the H2 wouldn't work.
And again, you show that you have absolutely no clue about US immigration law. It doesn't matter where people with college degree work. If it is usual that people without college degree work in the job, or if the job does not require a degree, it is not possible to get an H1 for that job. CIS makes that determination.
As an example, airline pilots, highly qualified, can not get H1s. They don't need a college degree to fly airplanes. The airlines don't hire anybody without a college degree in some field, but that's just the airlines. The job itself does not require a degree.

You continue to be a complete moron. Start educating yourself about US immigration law before posting complete and utter crap.

JoeF,

First of all my response was for newbies not for you. Why do you have to bring your butt into every discussion. You are totally incapable of a civilized discourse. You talk about US immigration law as if you made it but on the other hand you pull "decisions" out of your arse. Where is the proof of what you are talking about? You, in fact have no clue how distorted your view of US immigration law is...like it is illegal to throw out your neighbors trash on a non-immigrant visa, it is illegal to paint your neighbor's house for nothing. I guess people should leave their humanity behind when they come to the US. I know, I know, you will say that US immigration law does not care about people's humanity...but only an idiot like you could believe in it. How come what I believe is irrelevant...what I believe in is totally relevant as it guides my actions...you instead believe in stopping other people from any kind of positive action in their lives. Instead of finding ways to help people you want to discourage them and give your opinions as if your opinions were the law. Keep your opinions to yourself and stop ruining peoples' lives.

My H1 is for a job for which a college degree is not required but I have been on H1 for years. I'm glad I did not come across an idiot like you before I applied for H1 otherwise I would have missed the opportunity.

By giving blanket statements you do not prove any point. Immigration law varies from case to case and in most cases you don't know whether one will succeed or not. I have seen people getting through immigration (GC/visas) which for people like you would be totally impossible. But how would you know, your only source of information is the internet. If someone posts a case on an internet forum, for you it becomes immigration case law...if it is not out there on the internet then it is not possible. Grow up...leave your computer alone for a few minutes...meet with your neighbor...ask him if he would help you paint your house even if he is on a non-immigrant visa...and most of all...get a life!

Unlikely to work. The nanny must have worked for you, not for your parents.

Does the nanny must have worked for me before I enter to the US? Since I own the house in my country and the nanny we hired to take care the house while we was in the US count?

How about if we hire a nanny while we travel back there and let she works for year in my country before sponsoring to the US?

Unlikely to work, either, unless the job requires a college degree. The H1 would then be the appropriate visa (the H1 quota is filled for this fiscal year, though, except for people with advanced degrees from the US.) But I guess for working at a beauty shop, a college degree is not required.

How about accountant for the shop? It is strange request right?
