Intellectual Property and Immigration to the United States: How IP Can Help You Make Your Case for a Visa.

WARNING AND DISCLAIMER: This video was created prior to the 2024 US Presidential Election. Major changes to immigration policy are ongoing in the United States, and it is quite likely that the impact of creative success on your chances for a US Visa will change. A lot. Nothing here is legal advice, and particularly given the changes to immigration law, you really need to get an immigration lawyer. This video provides information about the state of US immigration prior to January 20, 2025.

I have deleted the primary content on this page due to the massive changes to U.S. immigration practice over the past year. You can still see the articles on Australia, Canada, and UK (among other places) — and even the benefits a patent can provide in getting admitted to University.

Having a patent (or better yet, a series of patents) may be relevant to your chances of immigration to the United States, but only a licensed lawyer specializing in immigration can give you the most up-to-date information.
