Business Types and Acceptable Investments for the E-2 Visa
Learn which business types qualify for the E-2 visa and what counts as an acceptable investment in this concise guide for investors.
For entrepreneurs and investors from treaty nations, the United States offers a dynamic environment to build wealth and legacy. The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa allows you to enter the U.S. to direct and develop a commercial enterprise in which you have invested a substantial amount of capital. Unlike the EB-5 Green Card which requires nearly a million dollars, the E-2 has no fixed minimum investment amount, making it the ideal vehicle for small-to-medium-sized businesses, franchises, and startups.
At Clinch Law Firm, we act as the architects of your E-2 application. We guide you through the daunting financial requirements, ensuring your capital is lawfully sourced and committed ‘at risk’ before you apply. From analyzing the ‘Proportionality Test’ to verify your investment is substantial, to drafting a compliant 5-Year Business Plan that proves your venture is not ‘marginal,’ we align your business goals with strict consular expectations.
