US-ILC REPRESENTS IN ALL 50 STATES

E-2 – Treaty Investors

E-2 visas are for nationals of treaty countries who are investing a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business. Although there is no specific minimum investment required, applicants should prepare to invest at least $50,000 to $200,000 USD in a business, and the investment must be irrevocable. A significant benefit of the E-2 visa is that holders may be granted an automatic two-year period of readmission when returning to the U.S. from abroad, provided they are still admissible. Spouses and unmarried children under age 21 may accompany or follow the E-2 investor or employee to the U.S. E-2 dependents are also eligible for work permission in the U.S.
