how does a local business's foreign partner travel here?

[idknow]

ok, So a friend of mine is aware of my "radical" studying and comprehension of law here on the Forum and he asked a question.

Background:

He writes and sells web-site for Windows platform.

He has several men helping him who are in other countries; one is in Russia.

This particular man wants to move here so he and my friend can "work in the same timezone" hehe But the Russian Consulate and US STATE DEPT won't issue a visa because, as my friend says, they want proof that my friend has the means to return to Russia.

Now, my friend and and I have discussed matters of jurisdiction, to whom the law applies and other things and he comprehends what we've discussed.

So, the question is, How does a foreigner emigrate to America without having to comply with federal-corporate law that doesn't apply to him?

The Russian doesn't want to sneak, swim or slide across the border and doesn't want to visit only.

1. Can a foreigner buy an existing American corporation and use that ownership-fact to recieve a visa?

(This would make the requirement of needing a visa one of him having access to his property which he has purchased)

Or

2. Can he file incorporation papers on his own and thus show the local consulate that he is an owner of an American business and recieve a visa that way?

The fundamental question is Can a consulate in a foreign nation refuse a visa to a foreigner who owns American property?

What say the Members?

and, thanks for your comments!

idknow,
I find that many ideas we put forth, are of the first-time pioneering type for us (not for international bankers). So often we cannot get any response, not because no one is interested, but because we're just too far ahead of the average in a particular endeavor.

You may consider having the Russian national getting ownership of the American-based property as a step in the "right" direction.

Yet getting the appropriate civil government authorities into agreement/treaty/contract is always the goal. Perhaps writing an agreement/treaty/contract with the terms and conditions desired by the Russian national and serving it on the appropriate respondent will lay the door wide open.

In addition, pure trusts are recognized worldwide, so the Russian national may want the American-based property titled in a trust in which the Russian is a [co-]trustee.

I have read of Russian companies filing for bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy courts to prevent foreign/alien foreclosures on assets. So perhaps some other U.S. court action to which the Russian national is an indispensible party would help.

Perhaps the trust can be sued by a friendly-adversary in America, and subpoena (contract offer) the Russian national trustee to make an appearance, and the Russian national swearing an oath (acceptance of offer) to make the said appearance on behalf of the trust. Then serving the a cert. copy of the offer/acceptance on the appropriate civil government authorities as an exhibit to some visa, port-pass or other travel doc may be the icing.

Just using my imagination.

Mik, thanks for the supposal; i'm aware of what trusts can do but i dont think that's the way to go.

i had mentioned to Friend about contract with to "his russian" (as he kindly refers to him and/or visa makers
but friend wasnt too keen on that; i think it was an answer based in a lack of knowledge.
