MUSIAD USA organized the 2nd Trade Seminar in its New York office
Employee, Employer and US Immigration Rights for Foreign Investors and Workers
On October 21, 2015, MUSIAD USA organized the 2nd Trade Seminar in its New York office. MUSIAD USA's President Mustafa Tuncer made the following opening remarks; "The aim of the trade seminars is to bring awareness to investors and current firms located in the USA. Therefore, this week we invited Ayhan Ogmen, the founder of Ogmen Law Firm, to explain investor and employment visa types to attendees."
Mr. Ogmen stated that getting an immigrant work permit is invaluable for many U.S. immigrants. He also said ''If you are an immigrant and want to obtain permission to legally work in the United States, you will want to apply for an employment authorization document (EAD), otherwise known as the work permit. Several factors will determine the best route you should take for obtaining a permit. Therefore, when someone applies for work visas or investor visas, getting professional legal advice is crucial." Lawyers could advise the best suited option for those who apply for work visas in the USA. Mr. Ogmen briefly explained some of the most important work permits:

Due to high levels of interest, Mr. Ogmen also explained investor visa types for attendees. He informed the audience that every case and every client's business are different. The choice of which visa is most appropriate has to be a decision made after an enormous amount of interaction and consultation with each client. This choice varies by type of business, industry and the personal circumstances and long-term goals of each client.
The seminar was followed by a networking reception.
