E-2 Treaty Investor Visas
If you are ready to invest in and run a business in the United States, the E-2 Treaty Investor visa can be your path. We help investors and entrepreneurs from treaty countries build a case that holds up.
Who this is for
The E-2 may fit if:
- You are a citizen of a country that has a treaty of commerce with the United States.
- You are investing, or are ready to invest, a substantial amount in a U.S. business.
- You will direct and develop that business, not simply hold a passive investment.
- You want to bring key employees or your family with you.
How we help
Our attorney helps you:
- Assess whether your nationality and investment fit the E-2 requirements.
- Structure the investment and business so it supports the petition.
- Prepare the E-2 application and business plan documentation.
- Plan for your family and, when relevant, key employees.
What to expect
From idea to visa:
- A consultation to confirm your treaty country and evaluate your plan.
- A strategy for the investment, the business, and the evidence.
- We prepare and file your case with strong supporting documentation.
- We prepare you for the consular interview or the filing decision.

How much do I need to invest?
There is no fixed dollar amount. The investment must be substantial relative to the business and enough to make it operational. We help you understand what that means for your specific business.
Is my country a treaty country?
The E-2 is only for nationals of countries with the right treaty with the United States. Confirming this is one of the first things we check.
Can my family come with me?
Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can generally accompany you, and your spouse may be eligible to work.
