The
Minimum Amount of Trade or Investment for E-2 Visa, and the Processing Time and Alternative Choices |
| Hi
William, We are consider to open a new office in U.S. What is the minimum amount of trade or investment needed to qualify E-2 visa? and what is the processing times for an E-2 visa and the alternatives if I do not qualify for E-2 visa? Answer, For E-2 visa application, there is no set minimum investment level, though obviously the lower the amount of trade or investment, the less likely it is that the E visa application will be approved. The amount necessary will also depend on the type of business or trade engaged in. The E-2 visa processing time can vary enormously depending on where you apply and the type of application. If the business is already registered as an E-2 Treaty Investor business this should make it quicker and easier. The processing times at U.S. Embassies and Consulates to register an E-2 visa business varies greatly around the world. Some applications may be able to complete applications in a few weeks. Others could take a number of months. If you are able to apply from within the U.S., applications can apply directly to the USCIS, which can be fast using premium processing. If you do not qualify for E visa, the L-1 intra-company transfer visa is the most obvious choice, though the H-1B speciality occupation visa is also a possibility. In addition, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor is an option which eventually leads to U.S. permanent residency. However, EB-5 visa is difficult and time-consuming to obtain. |
