The hard part is over.

Your visa has been approved, and you’re about to travel to the United States under some immigrant or nonimmigrant category. All your paperwork is in order, and you’ve already planned out the duration of time you’ll spend in the country. So going through Customs should be easy, right?

Not necessarily.

You probably have studied and internalized all your immigration-related responsibilities. But in addition to obvious civil and criminal laws, there are other regulations that will govern both your entry into the United States and your time here: financial regulations.

In a new section on our website, the experienced immigration attorneys at Zhang & Associates present important information and guidance regarding a subject you may have not considered yet: financial regulations. Whether you’re entering the U.S. on a brief vacation as a B-2 visa holder, or are an H-1B visa holder already living and working in the country, compliance with these rules is not optional.

Our Firm is Here to Help

As is the case for all the content in our immigration library, these articles serve to provide an overview of financial regulations and general guidance on complying with these rules. But the articles do not substitute for the advice and analysis of a seasoned legal team. We strongly advise consulting with an attorney and financial planner on finance-related issues. To take advantage of a free initial consultation on your specific situation or potential case, click here to contact Zhang & Associates today.
