A Potentially Quicker Way To Invest In The U.S.
e-2 Visa Attorney In Evanston
Although foreign-born entrepreneurs with substantial capital and intent to take up residence in the U.S. for a long period of time are likely to consider the EB-5 visa program, other investors may look to the E-2 visa to build their business within U.S. borders. If you need an E-2 visa to begin your investment, contact attorney Alen Takhsh so he can guide you through your application process.
Key features of an E-2 visa include:
- No permanent residence requirement (only permits a temporary stay)
- No prescribed minimum investment or quota
- Only your investment must stay within the U.S.
- Relatively short processing time compared to EB-5 visas
Importantly, however, only foreign nationals of countries with whom the U.S. government has a treaty can apply for this type of visa. Applicants must submit their applications through a U.S. Consulate, and the processing time can take two weeks to four months – more than three to four times quicker than a typical EB-5 process may take.

REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN AN E-2 VISA
Because an E-2 visa only permits a temporary stay, its requirements aren’t as rigorous as those of an EB-5 where a Green Card is issued. That, however, doesn’t mean there are still strict rules concerning this document.
Requirements for receiving an E-2 visa include:
- You must be a national from a country that has a treaty with the U.S.
- You must have already invested or demonstrate that you are actively investing and close to starting business activities
- You must demonstrate you have the skills to develop and direct your business
- You must have a substantial investment (a nebulous amount that typically comes down to be whatever is necessary to run your business)
- Your business cannot be marginal – this means it must show growth and exist beyond a means of living for you or your family
- You must leave the country once your visa expires
