Nonimmigrant Visas
We offer a broad range of nonimmigrant visa services for individuals seeking to start businesses or invest in the United States.

E-2 visas are used by companies that have been established based on, or will be carrying out, investment in the United States to operate a commercial enterprise. Treaty investors must demonstrate possession and control of the capital assets and investment funds, and show that the funds are irrevocably committed to the U.S. enterprise.
