E-2 Business Entrepreneur Visa

By Isaul Verdin, VERDIN Founder and Managing Attorney

E2 Visa Overview

The E2 Visa is a non-immigrant business visa which allows foreign nationals to start businesses in the U.S.

The E2 Visa requires that the foreign entrepreneur invest business capital in the U.S. to start up a new venture; or to acquire an existing business venture.

In exchange for the capital investment, the U.S. government will issue an E2 Visa; once all other requirements are met.

E2 Visas First Step – Determining Eligibility

The visa applicant must be from a country that is one of the US Treaty Visa countries.

There are less than 100 countries that have E2 Visa treaties with the US. Not all individuals in all countries will be eligible for an E2 visa.

Contact VERDIN for assistance in determining E2 Visa eligibility.

There are two places to find information on E2 Visa Treaty countries.

E2 Visa Points to Know

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.
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.
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.
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.
Provide Documentation for Source of E2 Visa Investment: If the enterprise has the capacity to generate significant income then the investor should provide 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.
