Secure Your U.S. Business Investment with the E2 Visa
Are you an entrepreneur or investor looking to establish or manage a business in the United States? The E2 Visa offers a pathway for individuals from treaty countries to invest in and operate a business in the U.S. At ICC Immigration, we specialize in guiding investors through the E2 Visa process, ensuring a smooth and successful application.
What is the E2 Visa?
The E2 Visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign investors to enter and work in the U.S. based on a substantial investment in a U.S.-based business. This visa is renewable indefinitely as long as the business remains operational and meets the visa requirements.
Benefits of the E2 Visa
- Live and Work in the U.S. – Operate your business while residing in the United States.
- Unlimited Renewals – As long as your business is active and profitable, you can continue renewing your visa.
- Family Inclusion – Your spouse and children (under 21) can accompany you. Spouses can apply for work authorization.
- Flexible Investment Amounts – No fixed minimum investment, but it must be substantial relative to the business.
- No Quota Limits – Unlike other visas, the E2 Visa is not subject to annual caps.
E2 Visa Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for an E2 Visa, you must:
- Be a citizen of a treaty country (a country that has an investment treaty with the U.S.).
- Make a substantial investment in a U.S. business.
- Have at least 50% ownership of the business or significant operational control.
- Ensure the business is active and generates jobs in the U.S.
- Demonstrate that the investment is at risk, meaning it is committed to the business and not just sitting in a bank account.
E2 Visa Application Process
- Business Selection & Investment – Identify a viable business opportunity and make a qualifying investment.
- Prepare Documentation – Compile financial records, business plans, and investment proof.
- Submit the Visa Application – File Form DS-160 and schedule an interview at a U.S. consulate.
