E-2 Investor Visas
Strategic representation for foreign nationals investing in U.S. businesses
Overview
The E-2 visa is a non-immigrant category for foreign nationals seeking to invest capital in and direct the operations of a U.S. business. It requires a substantial investment, clear link between the funds and business operations, and a treaty relationship between the U.S. and the investor's country of citizenship. We provide legal guidance throughout the E-2 visa process, from business planning and documentation to application preparation and consular interview representation. Our international experience and familiarity with USCIS requirements support the preparation of a well-prepared application.

Key Considerations in This Practice Area

- Family members (spouse and unmarried children) may obtain derivative visas
- Renewable status (typically 2 years, extendable)
- Faster processing than many other visa categories
- Potential pathway to business ownership and growth, depending on applicable law
- Professional guidance reduces application risk
