Embark on Your U.S. Business Journey with the E2 Visa

Welcome to the Immigration Legal Center, where we specialize in assisting entrepreneurs and investors in achieving their goals of starting or expanding their businesses in the United States through the E2 Visa program. The E2 visa is a nonimmigrant visa category designed for nationals of treaty countries who wish to invest a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business. Whether you are an established entrepreneur or a new investor looking to tap into the U.S. market, the E2 visa provides a unique opportunity to live and work in the United States while managing your business.

At the Immigration Legal Center, we understand that the E2 visa application process requires a strategic approach and thorough preparation.

With a deep understanding of U.S. immigration law and a focus on client success, we are here to guide you through every step of the E2 visa process, ensuring that your investment in the U.S. is secure and successful.

The E2 Visa Process

Applying for an E2 visa involves several critical steps that must be carefully navigated to ensure a successful outcome. Here’s how the Immigration Legal Center can assist you through each stage of the process:

  1. Initial Consultation and Business Assessment:
    • We begin by conducting a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your eligibility for the E2 visa. Our attorneys will review your business plan, investment strategy, and the nature of your business to determine the best approach for your application.
  2. Preparation of a Detailed Business Plan:
    • A key component of the E2 visa application is the business plan. Our team will work closely with you to develop a detailed business plan that outlines your investment, the viability of the business, and its potential to generate income within the U.S. economy. We ensure that the plan meets all U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requirements and effectively demonstrates the legitimacy and sustainability of your investment.
  3. Investment Documentation and Evidence Gathering:
    • To build a strong E2 visa application, it is essential to provide comprehensive documentation of your investment. Our attorneys will assist you in gathering and organizing all necessary documents, including proof of funds, financial statements, purchase agreements, and any other evidence that supports your investment.
  4. Filing of the E2 Visa Petition:
    • Once your business plan and documentation are in place, our attorneys will prepare and file your E2 visa petition with the appropriate U.S. consulate or embassy. We meticulously prepare the petition to ensure that it meets all legal requirements and effectively presents your case.
  5. Consular Interview and Follow-Up:
    • After your petition is submitted, you may be required to attend an interview at the U.S. consulate or embassy. Our attorneys will help you prepare for the interview, providing guidance on what to expect and how to effectively present your case. We will also follow up with the consulate or embassy to monitor the status of your application and address any additional requests for information.
  6. Ongoing Support and Compliance:
    • Once your E2 visa is approved, our support doesn’t end there. We provide ongoing assistance to ensure that you remain in compliance with the terms of your visa, including guidance on renewals, extensions, and any other immigration-related matters that may arise as you operate your business in the U.S.
