People from all over the world are interested to come and set up a business in the United
States.
They want to know what is the most effective, direct way to do this process.
One of the most interesting visas that allow an investor to come to the United States and
set up their business is called the E2 visa.
The E2 visa is an interesting visa because it's not very well known.
Many investors assume that the E visa requires the largest amount of money in order to start
a business in the United States.
That is not true.
And E2 visa is a treaty visa.
It's based on a treaty that exists between the United States and many countries.
In fact, if you visit our website at www.h1b.biz, you will find a list of all these countries
that are part of the E2 visa treaty.
For example, a country like Mexico or France or Germany are all part of the E2 visa treaty
allowing their nationals to come to the United States, invest an amount of money anywhere
from 50,000 or more and start a business.
One of the requirements of the E visa is that the investor put the money that they invest
at risk, which means that not only the intent to start a business but actually have to commit
their funds and start an active role in the process of investing.
A typical process for an E2 investor will be the first thing to do is to start a business.
Open up a company in the United States.
Their company will then be their vehicle or they move the money of their investment into
their corporate account and start their company.
It is very important that investment is not to be marginal.
The marginality of the business depends on the kind of business, so if you're going to
start a restaurant business in Los Angeles, the amount of investment will vary and will
be different than starting a business.
In Ohio, for example.
The E2 visa is a known immigrant visa, which means that it's given for a limited duration.
Typically, they're issued at two to five years increment.
However, they are indefinite in the sense that as long as the business operates, the
investor can stay.
The other interesting thing about an E2 visa is that the spouse of the principal can work
in the United States as long as they're E2 spouse operates their business.
The E2 visa is such an interesting visa in the sense that it can apply to any kind of
business.
You can be a restaurant, a coffee shop, a garage, a marketing firm, any business that
allows you to operate a company that is real and not marginal, will guarantee that you
will get the visa and be able to bring your family and loved ones to be with you in the
United States.
The E2 visa allows you to apply directly to the US embassy in your home country or to
change your status in the United States.
The E2 visa is an interesting visa because it allows the investor the freedom to live
in the United States, operate their own business and not depend on an employer or a family
member to be able to be sponsored and stay in the United States.
Our company has been very successful in getting E visas for many investors.
I can give you an example of a recent business that we processed.
An ice cream gelato business from Italy successfully implemented by setting up the company, bringing
the money from Italy into the US, setting up the company, hiring some workers, and applying
for the visa.
All in a period of two months, the investor came to the United States, set up the business,
spend money in operating the company, and then we applied for the visa in Italy and
the investor came back to the US with his visa.
