Collaborating with Zohar Law PLLC for E-2 Visa Success
Navigating Treaty Country Requirements
The first step in the E-2 visa process is determining if you are a citizen of a country that holds a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. This foundational requirement is non-negotiable. Zohar Law PLLC assists clients in verifying their eligibility based on their country of citizenship, ensuring they meet the initial qualifications before proceeding with the substantial investment and application, saving valuable time and resources.
Meeting Substantial Investment Criteria
A core component of the E-2 visa is the requirement of a "substantial" investment in a U.S. enterprise. This capital must be irrevocably committed and sufficient to ensure the successful operation of the business. Our team works closely with clients to structure their investment, prepare a comprehensive business plan, and document the lawful source of funds to build a compelling case that satisfies all legal standards.
Perfecting the E-2 Visa Application
The E-2 visa application package must be thorough and impeccably organized. It requires extensive documentation, from business licenses to financial projections. Zohar Law PLLC specializes in preparing and submitting robust applications that clearly demonstrate how the applicant and their business meet all visa criteria. We manage every detail, from filling out the necessary forms to compiling supporting evidence, to present the strongest case possible.
Understanding Your Non-Immigrant Status
The E-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa, meaning it allows you to live and work in the U.S. to direct and develop your business, and it can be renewed as long as the enterprise continues to operate. We provide crucial counsel on maintaining compliance with visa terms and exploring long-term immigration strategies, helping you navigate your status while focusing on your business growth.
