Invest in America, Build Your Future Here
The E-2 Investor Visa allows entrepreneurs and business owners from treaty countries to live and work in the United States by making a substantial investment in a U.S. business. At Yesildal Law, we guide investors through every stage of the application process — from business planning to visa approval.
Who Qualifies for an E-2 Visa?
The E-2 Visa is available to nationals of countries that maintain a treaty of commerce with the United States. You must make a substantial, at-risk investment in a bona fide U.S. business and be coming to the U.S. to develop and direct that enterprise.
What Counts as a Substantial Investment?
There is no fixed minimum investment amount for the E-2 Visa, but the investment must be substantial relative to the total cost of the business. It must be sufficient to ensure the successful operation of the enterprise and must be at risk in a commercial sense.
Renewal, Duration & Path Forward
E-2 Visas are typically granted for two to five years and can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business remains operational. While the E-2 is a nonimmigrant visa, strategic planning may open pathways to permanent residence through other employment-based categories.
Turn Your Investment Into an American Dream
The E-2 Visa is one of the most flexible pathways for entrepreneurs who want to build a life and a business in the United States. At Yesildal Law, we help investors structure their business plans, prepare compelling visa applications, and protect their investment every step of the way.
