Business and investor visa questions
- It depends on your nationality, whether you are investing, transferring within a company or being hired, and your long-term goals. During a consultation we review your situation and explain the categories that may fit.
- The E-2 is a nonimmigrant visa and does not by itself lead to permanent residence. Some investors later qualify for a green card through another category, such as EB-5 or employment-based options. We can explain the paths that may apply to you.
- Many investor and new-office cases are stronger with a detailed business plan, and some categories expect one. See our page on business plans for visa applications.
- Yes. Your initial consultation is free. If you decide to hire us, representation is a paid service and payment plans are available.
