Vizamerica Customers
The E2 visa is a visa that helps people who want to invest in the United States and establish a business here to be able to enter and remain in the country. An individual who gets the E2 visa is allowed to stay and work in the United States provided that they continue to meet the terms of the visa. Here is what you need to know about E2 visa requirements and how Vizamerica can help you secure your entry to stay and work in the United States.
Understanding E-2 Visa Requirements
- For Canadians
One of the things that you need to know about the E2 visa is that only individuals from countries that have a treaty of Commerce and Navigation with the United States can apply for this visa. Fortunately, Canada is one such country, and this makes its citizens eligible for the visa.
To apply, a Canadian citizen must show that they are willing to make substantial investments in the United States. The amount will vary, depending on the industry in question, but experts generally put the figure at a minimum of 100,000 USD. Vizamerica does not take cases under $70,000 USD. The invested amount must also be ‘at risk’ meaning that the investment will need to be committed to the enterprise prior to filing the application, making the investment at risk if the business fails.
- For UK Citizens
Since the UK has a similar treaty agreement with the United States, the requirements for UK citizens to obtain the E2 visa are similar to those of Canadians. They must show a willingness to invest substantial amounts in a business in the United States.
They are also required to show that they have no intention of forfeiting their primary citizenship, i.e., that of the United Kingdom and that they seek the E2 visa to be able to control and direct the operations of their business.
