Frequently Asked Questions
How much does E-2 visa representation cost?
My fee for E-2 visa representation is $6,500 for the primary applicant. Family member applications are $350 per person (up to $700). An expedited service option is available for $2,000 for clients with time-sensitive situations.
How long does the E-2 visa process take?
Timeline varies depending on your consulate and whether you apply for a change of status or consular processing. Generally, clients who are applying for E-2 visas via consular processing should expect 2-5 months for standard processing. Expedited service is available for E-2 change of status applications.
Can I bring my family on an E-2 visa?
Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can accompany you to the United States on E-2 dependent status. Your spouse receives open market work authorization, meaning they can work for any employer.
What if I receive a Request for Evidence (RFE)?
An RFE is not a denial. It means the consular officer or USCIS needs additional information. I help clients prepare thorough, strategic RFE responses that address the officer’s specific concerns and strengthen the overall case.
Do you handle E-2 visa extensions and renewals?
Yes. I assist E-2 visa holders with renewals, including updating investment documentation, reviewing business performance records, and preparing applications that demonstrate continued treaty compliance.
What countries qualify for the E-2 visa?
The E-2 visa is available to nationals of countries that maintain a qualifying treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. There are currently over 80 treaty countries. You can verify your country’s eligibility through the U.S. Department of State website.
Do I need a business plan for my E-2 visa application?
Yes. A well-prepared business plan is a critical component of every E-2 visa application. It demonstrates the viability of your business, your investment, and highlights your ability to develop and direct the enterprise. Generic templates are rarely sufficient. Your plan needs to reflect your specific business model and market.
