E-2 Treaty Investor

E-2 Visa: Treaty Investor Visa Services

If you’re looking to invest in a U.S.-based business and want the flexibility to live and work in the United States, the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa may be the right option for you. With over 25 years of experience, The Dhanani Law Firm has helped businesses and individuals successfully navigate the E-2 visa process. Our expertise ensures that you are well-prepared for each step, so you can focus on growing your business.

What Is the E-2 Visa?

The E-2 visa allows individuals from countries with a commerce and navigation treaty with the United States to live and work in the U.S. based on a substantial investment in a U.S. business. The E-2 visa is a popular choice for investors looking to start or expand their business in the U.S., providing flexibility and long-term opportunities for both the investor and their family.

Who Qualifies for an E-2 Visa?

To be eligible for an E-2 visa, the applicant must meet the following criteria:

  • Nationality: You must be a citizen of a country that has a qualifying treaty of commerce and navigation with the U.S.
  • Substantial Investment: You must make a significant financial investment in a bona fide U.S. business. There is no fixed minimum amount, but the investment must be substantial enough to ensure the successful operation of the business.
  • Active Involvement: You must be coming to the U.S. to develop and direct the business in which you have invested, playing an active role in its operations.
  • At-Risk Funds: Your investment must be a real, operating enterprise with funds that are at risk, meaning they are committed to the business and subject to loss if the business fails.
  • Business Viability: The business must generate more than enough income to provide a living for the investor and their family, beyond just marginal employment.

Benefits of the E-2 Visa

The E-2 visa offers a range of benefits for investors and their families, including:

  • Work Authorization: E-2 visa holders can live and work in the U.S. to develop and operate their business.
  • Unlimited Renewals: The E-2 visa is initially granted for up to 2 years and can be renewed indefinitely, as long as the business continues to operate and meet eligibility requirements.
  • Spouse and Children: E-2 visa holders can bring their spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21. Spouses are eligible to apply for work authorization in the U.S., and children can attend school.
  • No Fixed Investment Amount: While the investment must be substantial, there is no set minimum, giving flexibility to investors based on the nature of the business.
  • Dual Intent Flexibility: The E-2 visa allows you to live in the U.S. without needing to maintain permanent residence, giving flexibility if you are unsure about long-term plans.
