The Main Requirements For Obtaining an E2 Visa

Obtaining an E2 Visa

The E2 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to invest in and run a business in the United States. The E2 visa is designed to encourage foreign investment and promote economic growth in the United States. To qualify for an E2 visa, you must be a citizen of a treaty country and make a substantial investment in a business. In addition, the business must be a legitimate and active commercial or entrepreneurial undertaking, and it must provide goods or services. Finally, the investment must create enough income to support more than just you.

One of the most significant requirements for obtaining an E2 visa is that you must invest a substantial amount of money into your business. This is a requirement that the USCIS takes very seriously. In fact, not meeting this requirement is one of the most common reasons for a denial of an E2 Visa. The USCIS defines a “substantial investment” as an investment that is sufficient to ensure the successful operation of your business. This means that you must have a realistic plan for your business’s growth and success, as well as the financial resources to back it up.

This is not an easy standard to meet, and it’s important that you have a qualified attorney prepare your application and submit the necessary documents. The application requires a comprehensive business plan that outlines your investment, business goals, and projected growth and success. In addition, you must also provide evidence of your financial resources, such as business bank statements and other financial information. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will review your application before granting you a visa.

To complete the process, you will have an interview with a consular officer at a U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country. You will be required to bring a completed application form (DS-160), receipt of the visa fee payment, and a valid passport photo. If you are an executive, manager, or essential employee, you must also bring a Labor Condition Application (LCA) from your employer and a copy of the company’s business license.

The final major requirement for obtaining an E2 visa is the in-person interview with a consular officer at During this portion of the application process, you will be asked questions about your background and your plans for the business. You may be required to provide additional documents, depending on the circumstances of your case. The interview can be a very long and intimidating process.
