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).

    "Too bad there are only 5 stars... I like to give them 10"
    Too bad there are only 5 stars cos I like to give them 10. Practically the best Immigration attorneys in Dallas or Texas and possibly the best in country. I like to thank Ms Katrina Moore especially she was more than helpful in my case. She was a life saver.

    "Highly recommended!"
    We are a small business with 20 employees and reached out to Akula & Associates for immigration help, Kavitha Akula, Toki Olowo and their staff have been extremely helpful. They always give very clear instructions for our cases, and yes, we have multiple cases with them and several of which are approved. The staff is very responsive on either email or over the phone; I am grateful that they are around to provide excellent and professional service. Highly recommended!

    "Timely response, dedication towards the work"

    We are an IT consulting firm. Kavitha helped us to get critical H1 case approvals and saved employees from running out of status which leads them to travel to their home country permanently. Timely response, dedication towards the work, having proper immigration knowledge, solving cases with logical thoughts, and the best team are the positives. Thanks!

    "First class service all round"
    Seasoned lawyers with a great ability to navigate all areas of immigration. First class service all round. Highly rate the professional expertise of Kate Brady in particular.
    - Martin G.
    "I am consistently impressed by Ms. Akula’s knowledge"
    I recommend Akula & Associates, P.C. to information technology companies needing diligent immigration services. Whether it be an Department of Labor investigation, ICE investigation or a site visit from USCIS they have always come through with excellent representation for our company. Unlike other immigration law firm merely doing visa processing, Akula & Associates offer many other services to IT companies such as debt collection, litigation, patents and trademark fillings. I am consistently impressed by Ms. Akula’s knowledge of immigration law and her prompt follow through.
