E-2 Treaty Investor Visa Services: Secure Your U.S. Investment Future
For entrepreneurs from treaty countries investing capital in a U.S. business.
The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa is a premier nonimmigrant visa category for foreign entrepreneurs and executives from countries that maintain a qualifying treaty with the United States. This visa is designed for those who wish to enter the U.S. to develop and direct a venture by investing capital into a U.S. enterprise.
At Revital Shavit Immigration Law, we help you structure your investments and prepare your filing to maximize your chances of approval.
Key Features of the E-2 Visa
Residency for Management: Reside in the U.S. to actively manage your business affairs.
Indefinite Renewability: The visa can be renewed indefinitely, provided the business continues to meet regulatory requirements.
Family Inclusion: Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 may accompany you.
Spousal Work Authorization: Spouses of E-2 holders are eligible to apply for employment authorization to work in the U.S.
Operational Control: Allows the investor to direct and develop the enterprise's operations actively.
