All About E2 - Treaty Investor Visa

Although similar to a treaty trader visa, an E2 Treaty Investor Visa differs in that the applicant must "develop and direct operations of an enterprise in which he or she has invested or is actively in the process of investing a substantial amount of capital," according to the USCIS.  With international trade occurring more and more frequently, professionals rely on being able to obtain a treaty investor visa when their business interests are being invested in the United States. For the legal expertise you need for this type of employment based visa application, a Dallas immigration attorney from the Mathur Law Offices is needed to guide you through the complex administrative requirements.

Requirements for an E2 - Treaty Investor Visa

Working on the needed qualifications to apply for this type of business visa is best left to our legal firm, who has successfully assisted many business owners to obtain their visas.  To qualify, the following requirements must be met:

• The foreign national applying or the firm must be a member of a Country with Trade Treaties (CTT)
• An investment of at least $100,000 in capital must be invested in a valid business in the United States either by the applicant or the firm the applicant works for; with possible risk of loss of that capital should the business not succeed.
• The applicant operates as an manager or executive or possesses special skills that are essential to the firm's operations
• The investment is just one means of support for the applicant or firm, with other funds available if needed.
• The investment should create jobs for U.S. citizens or permanent residents residing here.
• The applicant is in the process of investing or the enterprise being invested into already exists.
• When the status affiliated with this investment ends, the applicant confirms they will leave the U.S.
