Temporary Investment and Management Visas (E-2)

The E-2 treaty investor classification enables nationals from certain treaty countries to temporarily invest in and manage a U.S. business, with the option to renew. This classification is explained in the Immigration and Nationality Act and implemented by specific federal regulations.

At Vargas Gonzalez Delombard, LLP, our immigration lawyers do not file E-2 applications directly, but we work with experienced attorneys who frequently handle E-2 cases for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and investors.

What Is an E-2 Visa?

An E-2 treaty investor must generally:

  • Be a national of a qualifying treaty country
  • Have invested, or be actively in the process of investing, a substantial amount of capital in a bona fide U.S. enterprise
  • Seek entry solely to develop and direct that enterprise
  • Intend to depart the United States when E-2 status ends

How an Immigration Lawyer Can Help

Through our referral partners, E-2 counsel can:

  • Confirm treaty eligibility and evaluate whether E-2 is the best fit versus other categories
  • Review and structure investment plans and corporate documents to meet regulatory criteria
  • Prepare consular E-2 applications or change-of-status filings in the United States
  • Advise on renewals, dependent family members, and long-term planning
