Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about E-2 visas and our services

What is the minimum investment amount required for an E-2 visa?

There is no statutory minimum investment amount for an E-2 visa. However, the investment must be "substantial" relative to the total cost of establishing or purchasing the enterprise. Generally, investments of $100,000 or more have a higher likelihood of approval, though smaller investments may qualify depending on the nature of the business.

How long does the E-2 visa application process take?

The processing time typically ranges from 2 weeks to 4 months, depending on the U.S. consulate or embassy where you apply. After document submission and review, an interview is scheduled, and if approved, the visa is usually issued within a week of the interview.

Can my family accompany me on an E-2 visa?

Yes, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age can accompany you with E-2 dependent visas. Your spouse is eligible to apply for work authorization in the United States, and your children can attend school. However, children lose their E-2 status upon turning 21 or getting married.

How long is an E-2 visa valid?

E-2 visas are typically issued for a period of 3 months to 5 years, depending on the reciprocity agreement between the United States and your home country. The visa can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business remains viable and meets E-2 requirements. Each entry to the U.S. generally allows a stay of up to two years, regardless of the visa expiration date.

Can an E-2 visa lead to a green card?

The E-2 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that does not directly lead to permanent residency. However, E-2 visa holders may pursue other immigration pathways to a green card while in E-2 status, such as EB-1, EB-2, EB-5, or family-based options.

What is the success rate for E-2 visa applications?

Recent data shows that E-2 visas have an approval rate of approximately 90-92%, making them one of the more successful visa categories. However, success depends greatly on proper preparation and documentation. Working with experienced immigration attorneys significantly increases your chances of approval, as they understand the specific requirements and common pitfalls.

What types of businesses qualify for an E-2 visa?

Almost any legitimate, active for-profit business can qualify for an E-2 visa, including retail stores, restaurants, professional services firms, manufacturing companies, and technology startups. The business must be more than marginal, meaning it has the capacity to generate more than enough income to provide a minimal living for you and your family, and ideally should create jobs for U.S. workers.

How do I prove the source of my investment funds?

You must demonstrate that your investment funds were obtained through lawful means. Documentation may include bank statements, business financial records, investment portfolio statements, property sale agreements, loan agreements, gift documentation, or inheritance documents.
