How to Prepare a Successful E-2 Visa Application

Launching a business in the United States is a bold ambition, and for many investors, the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa is the ideal vehicle to make that dream a reality. However, the application process is rigorous and document-intensive. We understand that the difference between an approval and a denial often lies in the details of your preparation. We are dedicated to guiding you through every step, ensuring your case is presented with the strongest possible evidence to meet the strict government standards.

Defining the Substantial Investment

The core of the e2 visa is a "substantial" investment. We help you determine if your capital is sufficient relative to the cost of purchasing or creating your enterprise. By reviewing your financial data, our team ensures you meet this critical threshold, setting a solid foundation for your case. Learn more on our E-2 Visa Service Page.

Documenting Lawful Source of Funds

You must prove your money comes from a legitimate source. We guide you through tracing every dollar, whether from savings, gifts, or property sales. This meticulous documentation is one of the strictest e2 visa requirements, and our detailed approach prevents common delays caused by insufficient evidence of origin.

Crafting a Comprehensive Business Plan

A standard business plan is not enough for an e2 visa application. We assist in developing a five-year projection that demonstrates your business is not marginal—meaning it supports more than just you and your family. We ensure your strategy clearly shows future job creation and economic growth.

Securing Your Non-Immigrant Status

As a non immigrant visa, the E-2 requires specific intent. We prepare you for the consular interview, ensuring you can articulate your business goals and intent to depart the U.S. when the status ends. Our preparation helps you confidently navigate the final hurdle of the approval process.
