E-2 Visa for Treaty Investors
Serving Clients in Dallas and Nationwide
An E-visa is intended for treaty traders and treaty investors – E-1 is for traders and E-2 is for investors[1]. In order to qualify for an E-2 treaty investor visa, an individual must be a citizen of a country that has a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. For example:
- Australia
- Germany
- United Kingdom
- Canada
For a full list, visit the list of Treaty Countries provided by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs. The E-2 visa must be procured before an individual enters the country. In the event that the individual is already residing in the United States, a U.S. company may file a petition to have that investors’ status changed to E-2 by way of a Form I-129 (Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker).
Qualifying for an E-2 Visa
To qualify for an E-2, the individual must be:
- A national of a U.S. treaty country, and
- Invest substantial capital in a United States bona fide enterprise (producing profit).

Thank you for all your help and patience with my H1B. You made a difficult time a little easier and less stressful, which I greatly appreciate. Ambreen was very helpful in our immigration process and her efforts and work helped us to achieve our most important goal, which is a future for ourselves and our child in the United States. It was a great experience to work with such a professional. We always felt that she was reachable either by e-mail or by phone. We were very impressed with her way of doing business and how she tracked and controlled every issue such that our immigration process went well. She was very responsive, constantly reviewing and checking for the documents needed to carry on the process. They handle the legal process in a professional way, and the treatment is friendly with the clients, which makes it easier and more enjoyable. They always follow up with all the steps throughout the process and kept me informed of the outcomes and further documents needed for the next steps, which made me stay one step ahead of the process to help ensure the desired outcome. Really glad to have her and Akula associates as my attorney in our successful visa applications. We look forward to working with her again for our future legal needs.- Priya
