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.

Vargas Gonzalez Delombard, LLP does 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
