E2 (E-2) Treaty Investor Visa Business Plans
Taking Your Investments to New Heights
What is an E-2 Visa?
E2 (E-2) Treaty Investor Visas are a good choice for nationals of treaty countries who are interested in starting a venture, expanding current operations, or buying an existing business in the United States.
Even though the applicant may feel confident in his/her line of business, it is imperative that he/she presents a highly detailed plan that demonstrates compliance with E2 (E-2) regulations and adjudication standards, and provides the business information that USCIS and consular officers need to assess the E2 (E-2) petition.
We at Visa Business Plans can provide exceptional immigration business plan services with a focus on all E2 (E-2) requirements, including the concepts of “substantiality” and “marginality”.

Have Questions?
-
Why is a business plan required for an E-2 visa?
A detailed business plan demonstrates that the investment is substantial, at risk, and tied to a viable, non-marginal enterprise with realistic revenue, staffing, and growth projections — it's typically the central document consular officers rely on to evaluate E-2 eligibility.
-
Does an E-2 business need to create jobs?
The business generally must be more than marginal — meaning it must generate more than just enough income to support the investor and their family, and either currently or within five years have the capacity to make a meaningful economic contribution, which often includes hiring U.S. workers.
-
What does "at risk" investment mean for an E-2 visa?
The invested funds must be committed and subject to loss if the business fails — money merely set aside or held in a way that isn't irrevocably committed to the enterprise typically doesn't qualify.
-
How much do I need to invest for an E-2 visa?
There is no fixed legal minimum, but the investment must be "substantial" relative to the total cost of the business — smaller businesses generally require a higher proportion of investment to cost, and the funds must be sufficient to ensure the business's successful operation.
