E-2 Treaty Investor Visa Guide
The Treaty Investor Visa, or E-2 visa, is a temporary residence visa that enables an immigrant to make a substantial investment in a U.S. business and live in the U.S. for two to five years. At this time the visa can be renewed, however at each renewal the immigrant must declare an intention to leave the U.S. when the visa ends. It is required that the E-2 visa investment is enough to allow the investor to have a controlling stake in the business and run it daily. It is also required that the substantial investment can create jobs for others while also generating income for the investor. The “substantial investment” figure is always determined on the nature of the business so the amount could vary, but somewhere between $50,000 to $ 100,000 is favorable. However, the safest figure is usually any amount over $100K. In order to qualify for an E-2 Treaty Investor visa an immigrant must first be a national of a country that has a treaty with the U.S. for an E-2 Visa. There are not any nationality requirements for accompanying spouse or children. Also it is beneficial to be aware that an accompanying spouse of an E-2 visa investor automatically becomes eligible for a work permit.
A facet of the E-2 Investor Visa that is often overlooked is the necessity to have already invested or be investing in a business before applying for the visa. Thus simply having the intent to invest or even having future investment arrangements is not adequate. It is necessary to be essentially tied into the business beyond the point of any return. If the immigrant is at any point in which he or she could back out of a deal or contracts could be broken, the immigrant would not be able to apply for the visa. The same goes for any person starting a business, not buying into an already existing one. For immigrants starting a business, they too would have to prove that they have committed themselves as far as possible to the development of the business.
The actual amount of the investment that needs to be committed to ahead of time is not specified, it is simply required that a reasonable amount is invested. As a general rule of thumb about 75 to 85 percent of the total investment should be paid into an escrow account. Only selling and closing costs can be considered in the total amount invested; other expenses such as travel or accommodation cannot be included in the cost. The thought of committing so much money up front into a business deal, which could fail upon a visa application being denied, seems difficult to comprehend. The only possible reasoning is that the U.S. embassy only wants to deal with the most serious applicants not someone who would back out at the last minute. For immigrants to protect themselves as much as possibly in this situation it is vital to ensure all contracts are conditional and that money is held in escrow, only to be released upon approval of an application for the visa.
