The attorney you choose is now the single biggest variable between approval and denial.
The E-2 Works. The Approval Rates Prove It.
While the H-1B is a lottery, PERM backlogs extend for more than two years, and processing pauses affect 75+ countries, the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa continues to deliver strong, consistent approval rates for well-prepared petitions. No lottery. No employer required. Renewable indefinitely. If you are an entrepreneur from a treaty country with capital ready to deploy, the E-2 is almost certainly the right visa for you.
But "Good Enough" Petitions No Longer Survive.
The E-2 category is strong. But the standard for petition review has intensified. The government is scrutinizing harder — not just at initial filing, but at every renewal and every re-entry for the life of your visa:
Consular interviews are longer and more detailed. Officers probe deeper into business viability, source of funds, and your actual management role. Generic projections trigger follow-up questions.
Renewals require the same rigor as initial filings. Your original petition is the foundation against which every future renewal is measured. Weak initial work becomes a long-term liability.
Continuous vetting is now standard. Your visa record is an active file that can be reviewed at any time. A shortcut-based petition today becomes a vulnerability tomorrow.
None of this should discourage you — the visa is strong. But it means the quality of your initial petition is the single biggest variable you control. A well-built petition protects you for years. A template-driven filing leaves you exposed.
