How to Qualify for an Investor Visa
Relocation to the United States of America can be a very difficult process. However there are several ways that you can vastly improve your chances of being granted a visa. One of the most common of these is to opt for an investor visa. There are two basis types, temporary and permanent.
A temporary investor visa is called an E-2.
The E-2 visa is commonly referred to as the temporary green card. This is because there is no top-end limit to the visa term and so extensions and renewals can be applied any number of times providing the conditions of your visa are still met.
The purpose of this visa is to allow foreign people who have invested considerable amounts in the US to relocate there to further develop and run the business or businesses that they have invested in.
You may fit the criteria for this visa if you are the investor in a foreign business, or are a vital employee such as a manager or executive, and if you and the large shareholders in the business are nationals of countries that have a long standing Treaty of Trade, Friendship and Commerce with the United States of America.
If you are an executive or a member of corporate personnel, then you must be a national of the same country as the corporation to qualify. An investment in the USA must have either already been made or that the investment is in progress. So if you posses substantial financial assets, then you could be entitled to the E-2 visa.
In short, the E-2 visa is most suited to those who are looking to invest a considerable sum of money in order to purchase all or part of an existing company, or to set up a new company. As the investor is expected to take an active role in the direction and management of the business, the E-2 visa is not suitable for silent investors.
Because of the unique complexities of investing in a U.S. business, it is highly advisable to seek competent legal advice on the types of investment that may qualify for an E2. After receiving such advice, the next step is likely to be to contact a reputable business broker that has an awareness of the requisite criteria for making a qualifying E-2 investment. - 23199
