The E-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa for investors from countries that have a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. It allows you to come to the U.S. to invest in and run a business. To qualify, you must make a “substantial” investment in a real, operating U.S. business (there is no fixed dollar amount, but it should be proportional to the business). You must also own at least 50% of the enterprise or have operational control, and you must be entering the U.S. solely to develop and direct the business (as an executive, manager, or essential employee). The E-2 visa does not directly lead to a green card, but it can be extended indefinitely in increments of up to two years, as long as the business continues to operate successfully. We assist clients by helping structure the investment and business plan, preparing the E-2 application, and demonstrating that the requirements are met for approval.
