Visa (E-2)
Orlando Immigration
Attorney, providing experienced Investor Visa (E-2) and Immigration
Law legal services in
Orlando, and the Central Florida area.
 The E-2 visa is a
non-immigrant visa, available to countries from nations which have
bilateral investment, commerce, and navigation treaties with the United
States. Individuals who qualify will have made a substantial investment
in a United States company, and wish to come to the U.S. to develop and
direct the business operations of that enterprise. For information on
qualifying countries for an Investor Visa (E-2), contact Bill Rivera, an
experienced immigration law lawyer. Call
407.536.7123.
Although an E-2 visa is is
not considered a step in obtaining permanent residency, in some
circumstances, the holder of an E-2 visa may qualify to apply for
permanent residency in the United States.
Alien investors seeking an
E-2 Visa must meet the following requirements to qualify:
-
The investor's home
country maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation or bilateral
investment with the United States;
-
The investor has made
a "substantial investment" (typically $25,000 or more) in a U.S.
business;
-
The business in which
the investment was made is not less than 50 percent owned by
citizens of the treaty country;
-
The investor intends
to come to the United States to direct the operations of the
enterprise in a capacity that is either executive, supervisory, or
involves specialized skills;
-
The investor possesses
means of support independent of the enterprise.
While it is no guarantee,
it may beneficial if a E-2 Investor Visa applicant can demonstrate that
their investments will result in the creation of jobs within the United
States.
While there is not a
pre-determined financial investment amount requirement which is
necessary to qualify for an E-2 Visa, an experienced immigration law
attorney & lawyer may help give you insight into what the immigration
department may unofficially deem an acceptable investment amount to
increase your ability to be granted an E-2 Investment Visa.
The investment must
be at least fifty percent ownership in an enterprise that
generates active income (as opposed to "passive income", such as that
generated from rental property).
Ordinarily, the investment
will be made by the E-2 applicant. There may, however, be circumstances
in which an E-2 visa will be issued to an employee of a foreign company
that qualifies as a treaty investor, provided the employee comes the
United States in an executive or supervisory capacity to direct the
enterprise or possess a specialized skill required by the enterprise.
