How Indian Founders Are Contributing to the United States' Startups And Small Business Growth

Why US founder files mix EB-1, EB-2 NIW, L-1A and O-1 documentation

Indian founders building or relocating to the US run through several visa categories: L-1A intra-company transfer for executives, O-1 extraordinary ability for senior product or research leaders, EB-1A for outstanding research, EB-2 NIW for research-intensive founders and the regular H-1B route. Each needs a different documentation packet.

MEA apostille on the founder's degree, marksheets, marriage certificate and birth certificate is the standard authentication for US legal use. Translation rarely applies because Indian academic and civil records are usually in English. The corporate documents of the Indian entity (incorporation, MOA, AOA, board resolution, audited financials) need Chamber of Commerce attestation and MEA apostille for US filings.

What this kind of file usually carries

• Founder's degree certificate and marksheets
• Marriage certificate and birth certificates of children
• Indian company incorporation certificate, MOA, AOA, GST
• Board resolution authorising the US entity
• Audited financial statements
• Power of Attorney for the Indian company's US filings
• Police clearance certificate
• Passport with at least twenty-four months validity

Where SiZA Global fits in this preparation

We handle the India side: MEA apostille on the personal, academic and commercial documents, Chamber of Commerce attestation on the commercial documents, certified translation if any document is not in English (rare) and tracked return of originals. The L-1A, O-1, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW or H-1B decision and the US entity formation belong to the US side and US legal counsel. We do not promise outcomes there.

Can SiZA Global help with apostille, attestation or translation?

Yes. We process MEA apostille on the personal, academic and commercial documents, Chamber of Commerce attestation on the commercial documents, certified translation where any document is not in English (rare) and tracked return of originals. We do not run the L-1A, O-1, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW or H-1B decision or the US entity formation.

Is SiZA Global a government department or a private documentation support company?

SiZA Global Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is a private documentation services company registered in Noida. We are not a government department, not an embassy and not a US immigration or legal consultancy. We carry the India-side document chain so the case moves cleanly through Chamber of Commerce, MEA and the US legal requirements.
