Practice areas

Immigration law

Navigating U.S. immigration law can be complex, whether you are seeking to build a business, pursue professional opportunities, or secure a future for your family. Our firm provides comprehensive immigration law services tailored to individuals, entrepreneurs, and organizations. We assist clients with visa applications, permanent residency, naturalization, and compliance matters, guiding them through every stage of the process with clarity and precision.

One of the most dynamic areas of our practice is assisting entrepreneurs and investors who wish to establish or expand their business presence in the United States. In particular, the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa offers a pathway for foreign nationals to live and work in the U.S. while actively managing their investment. If you are interested in obtaining this type of U.S. visa, we invite you to complete our tailored application to help assess your chances of approval. The application includes several questions about your existing business and investments, or your intent to establish a business and make investments in the United States. Based on your responses, we can evaluate whether you meet the E-2 visa requirements or identify areas that may need further preparation.

The E-2 Visa

The E-2 Visa is available to citizens of countries that maintain a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. The list of such countries might be found here. The E-2 visa allows investors to enter and work in the U.S. based on a substantial investment in a bona fide enterprise, where the investor holds at least 50% ownership or has operational control of the business. The important point of the investment is that the capital must be at risk of partial or total loss if the investment is unsuccessful. Unlike certain other visa categories, the E-2 does not require a fixed minimum investment amount; rather, the investment must be sufficient to ensure the successful operation of the business.

General requirements can be found on the official USCIS website via this link. If you would like more detailed answers to your specific questions or wish to discuss your case, we invite you to take advantage of a free consultation with our attorney by using the consultation scheduling link at the bottom of this page.

• Develop and direct the business in which they have invested
• Bring eligible employees from the same treaty country in executive, supervisory, or essential roles
• Renew their status indefinitely, as long as the enterprise remains active and continues to meet visa requirements

This visa is particularly attractive for entrepreneurs seeking flexibility, as it does not impose the same permanent residency or job-sponsorship requirements found in other visa categories.
