One of the most common ways people can emigrate to the US is through an investment visa. The E2 Investment Visa is one of the most popular investment visas.
The E2 Investment Visa permits foreign nationals to invest in a business in the US. The person holding the E2 Investment Visa can remain in the US, for as long as the investor has a relationship with the investment.
Holders of the E2 Investment Visa can either purchase an existing company or invest in a start-up. The E2 Investment Visa application must demonstrate that the holder of the E2 Investment Visa will be in a position to develop the viable business. The business must be close to starting operations or already has started operating, at the time the E2 Investment Visa application is made. In other words, for the E2 Investment Visa application to work the monies must be, at the very least, in an escrow account. Upon the issuance of the E2 Investment Visa, the monies will be transferred to the person selling the business.
The E2 Investment Visa should generate more than just a marginal income. The E2 Investment Visa should generate a net profit that exceeds the cost of living in the state the business is located.
E2 Investment Visa applicants face several pitfalls that can cause the application to fail. A successful E2 Investment Visa application needs a business plan. Ideally, a certified public accountant (CPA) should confirm the figures of the business plan. The firm has numerous accountants experienced with E2 Investment Visa applications that it can recommend.
One of the biggest concerns, people interested in the E2 Investment Visa have is whether or not the business, they will purchase is a sound business. The question they have is how do I know if the business I am purchasing is a sound business? The answer to this concern is due diligence. Proper and detailed due diligence minimise, if not completely eliminate, the risk.
A website should also be designed for the E2 Investment Visa application. As part of the firm’s service to our E2 Investment Visa applicants, we have several website designers, who are experienced with E2 Investment Visa applicants that we can recommend.
Although the E2 Investment Visa is not a route to a Permanent Resident Card, there is no limit to how many times the E2 Investment Visa can be renewed. As long as you have a relationship with the business, you can renew the E2 Investment Visa.
The E2 Investment Visa can be granted in increments of up to five years.
