E-2 Treaty Investor Visa

E2 Visa Overview

One of the visas that we process the most in this office is the E2 investor visa. For all those who have savings or goods that they may have, there is a visa that allows us to live in the United States when the foreigner is willing to invest in a newly created company or one that is already in existence. In addition to the main investor, you can include managers or essential employees for the company's proper operation. Spouses and single children under 21 years of age also qualify.

Advice and planning

These types of projects are very sophisticated where United States immigration attorney is required to have experience with this type of visa to direct the supported process of a certified accountant in the United States (CPA) and a company with experience for the preparation of the Business Plan.

Investment and decision process

The first question that the candidates ask me is how much the investment should be. The law indicates that the investment must be large and unfortunately it leaves it in limbo and does not answer the question of the interested parties. In the end, an American government official will decide whether the investment is sufficient based on the investment package where the Business Plan plays a crucial role in convincing the officers and thus determine if the initial investment actually meets the visa objectives. In addition, it is important to note that at the time of the visa application, the company must already be operating or in the process of starting operations.

Feasibility study and requirements

Since the stakes are high, it's extremely important to conduct a feasibility study of the project, taking into account all the factors involved. This way, you'll be certain whether the project will be successful. If not, you'll simply ensure there's no damage and no wasted time or money.
