We specialize in business and investment-related U.S. visas, including the L-1 Intracompany Transfer Visa, E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, and EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa. Each visa serves different needs depending on your business structure, investment amount, and long-term goals.
The E-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows nationals of treaty countries to invest in or purchase a U.S. business. It is renewable but does not directly lead to a green card.
The EB-5 visa is an immigrant visa that requires a minimum investment of $800,000–$1,050,000 and the creation of at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs. It provides a direct path to permanent residency (green card).
Unfortunately, only citizens of E-2 treaty countries are eligible. However, we can explore alternative options such as the L-1 visa or a citizenship-by-investment route through a treaty country, if applicable.
Timelines vary by visa type:
E-2 visas can be processed in as little as 4–8 weeks, depending on the U.S. embassy.
L-1 visas usually take 1–3 months.
EB-5 visas typically take 12–24 months, depending on country-specific backlogs and USCIS processing.
A wide variety of businesses qualify—from franchises and restaurants to tech startups and consulting firms. The key is that the business must be active, real, and capable of generating more than just a minimal income.
Yes. All three visa categories—L-1, E-2, and EB-5—allow you to bring your spouse and unmarried children under 21. Spouses of E-2 and L-1 visa holders may also apply for work authorization in the U.S.
While there is no fixed job creation requirement like the EB-5, your business should show potential to grow and create U.S. jobs. A detailed business plan and a hiring strategy strengthen your application.
E-2 visa: While it doesn’t lead directly to a green card, many investors later transition to EB-5 or other immigrant categories.
L-1 visa: Especially L-1A for executives, this can lead to a green card through the EB-1C category after meeting eligibility.
A business background helps, especially for the E-2 and EB-5 visas, but it’s not mandatory. What matters most is your ability to actively direct and develop the U.S. business.
