Common questions

How can I move to US?
The catalogue covers these routes: residence permit, visa applications. The reference section describes 22 relocation programmes in total, with official conditions and links to government sources. Which route fits depends on whether you have a job, a business, property or relatives in the country - we'll go through it on a free consultation and pick the one that works.
How do I start a business in US?
The catalogue has 4 options in this area: company formation, accounting and tax. A licensed local expert handles the paperwork and files with the register. The steps, the timeline and the tax regime for what you do are covered on a free consultation.
What services can I arrange in US?
26 options across 8 areas: company formation, accounting and tax, residence permit, visa applications, bank account opening, legal services, flights, short-term stays and 7 more. Every option comes with a price, a timeline and the scope of work; the provider is a licensed local expert.
Can services in US be arranged remotely, without flying in?
Partly: 20 of 26 options are handled remotely, the rest need you there in person (usually biometrics or a signature at the bank). The format (“Remotely” / “In person”) is on each service card, visible before you send a request.
How long does it take in US?
It depends on the service: the fastest take from 1 day, the longest (citizenship, investment programmes) up to 6 months. The exact timeline is on each service card - that's the expert's working time, excluding queues at government bodies.
What does a consultation cost, and is there a markup on top?
The consultation is free and commits you to nothing. You sign the contract directly with the expert and pay their official price list - Pactors adds no markup and takes no commission from you.
After how many years can I get citizenship by naturalisation in US?
The standard naturalisation route in US takes from 5 years of legal residence (residence permit → permanent residence → passport). Faster routes: Marriage to a US citizen (living together) — 3 years. This is a 2026 guide - the exact term depends on the route, and we'll confirm it on a consultation.
Does US grant citizenship by birth (jus soli)?
Yes. A child born in US gets citizenship by right of soil, and the parents get a faster route to legal status. It's one of the quickest family routes to a passport.
