Business Models for E-2 Visa Investors

VERDIN E2 Business Investor Visa SolutionsIn many cases of investor visas, a common issue is what amount of capital is needed for the investment in order to convince USCIS or the consulates that the investment is viable. For E-2 investor visas, there is no required amount of investment that will trigger an approval or a denial.

However, while no specific regulation exists, the underlying understanding is that USCIS and the consulates prefer that the investment be at least over $100,000. As such, investments that are lower than that threshold are generally more highly scrutinized than those that are higher.

For more info, see:

  • Top E2 Visa Investment Capital FAQs
  • 4 Tips to Know About E2 Visa Marginality Requirements
  • $100,000 or Less, Potential Small-Scale Business Models for E-2 Investors.

However, that does not mean that investments under $100,000 are not eligible for E-2 visas. In fact, if the business is in operation, profitable, and executed properly, the investment may qualify for an E-2 visa.

While the business options may be limited with a smaller capital investment, below are some viable options that may qualify for an E-2 visa:

(1) Beauty Salons

(2) Mailing or Courier Services

(3) Landscaping Companies

(4) Building Contractor and Painting Services

(5) Automobile Care Centers

(6) Learning or Tutoring Centers

(7) Home Cleaning Services

(8) Retail Franchises

(9) Small-scale Restaurants

E2 Visa Points to Know

  1. Plan to Succeed: The U.S. government wants to see that the foreign investor has planned for success. Accordingly, the investor should provide a detailed 5-year business plan – forecasting capacity to generate sufficient revenue to exceed minimal living standards.
  2. 5 Year Business Plan Assistance: VERDIN will assist in creating your 5 Year Business Plan. Call 214-741-1700 or 800-656-4232; or Contact VERDIN.
  3. Create US Job Opportunities: The foreign investor should provide evidence to show that the enterprise will create job opportunities in the U.S. By expanding jobs in the U.S. economy, the investor can increase his or her probabilities of obtaining the E2 visa.
  4. Provide Evidence for Income Generation: An E2 applicant is to provide evidence that the enterprise will generate significant income at a level that is above a standard living income for the total number of family members in the investor’s household.
  5. Provide Documentation for Source of E2 Visa Investment: If the enterprise has the capacity to generate significant income then the investor should provide such evidence. For example, if the enterprise has already generated high sales volume, then the investor should provide bank statements and Profit & Loss statements to support the declaration of high income. We advise on all strategies and tools available, such as VIBE; a free tool the U.S. government uses this tool to investigate businesses.
