E2 Visa for India: How Indian Investors Can Apply for the E2 Visa
The E2 visa is one of the most powerful immigration options for investors and entrepreneurs looking to start a business in the United States. With an E2 visa, you can live in the US and operate your own business. Additionally, E2 visa processing times are quite short compared to other visa options, which is another reason why the E2 visa is so favorable. However, to qualify for an E2 visa you must hold citizenship to a country that has an E2 treaty with the United States. Unfortunately, India is not a qualifying country. For this reason, many Indian investors are unable to take advantage of the E2 visa.
In this guide, I will discuss ways for Indian investors to apply for an E2 visa. I’ll also discuss alternatives to the E2 visa. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at Michael@AshooriLaw.com. I’d be happy to help you.
Overview:
1. Intro to E2 Visa
2. Obtaining Citizenship to an E2 Country
3. E2 Alternatives
4. Conclusion
1. Intro to E2 Visa
The E2 visa is an investment-based visa for investors and entrepreneurs. The basic idea of the E2 visa is that it allows you to start a business or purchase an existing business in the US and work for that business.
E2 Visa Requirements
- Must be a citizen of a country with an E2 treaty with the US
- Make a substantial investment in a US company
- E2 company cannot be a marginal enterprise
- You will direct and develop the US company
- Invest funds were obtained lawfully
- E2 company must be an active, for-profit company
- You must have the intent to depart the US once your E2 status ends
- Investment must be at-risk
Benefits of an E2 Visa
- Speedy processing
- Ability to live in the US and operate and work for your own business
- No limit to the number of times the E2 visa can be renewed
- Your spouse and children under 21 can also accompany your E2 visa
- Work authorization for your spouse
2. Obtaining Citizenship to an E2 Country
The main issue preventing Indian investors from applying for and getting approved for an E2 visa is that India does not have an E2 treaty with the US. In order to overcome this obstacle, one option is to obtain citizenship from a country that has an E2 treaty with the United States.
Grenadian Citizenship
- One of the countries that foreign nationals from non-treaty countries get citizenship to is Grenada. Grenada is an E2 country.
- Grenada is a country made up of three islands located in the Eastern Caribbean.
- The primary reason Grenada is a country of choice for E2 investors is that Grenada has a program to obtain citizenship by investment.
- As a disclaimer, I am not a Grenadian immigration lawyer, nor am I qualified to give immigration advice as it pertains to Grenada. For legal advice on Grenadian immigration matters, you should contact a Grenadian immigration lawyer. That said, Grenadian citizenship can be obtained for as low as an investment of $200,000.
Canadian Citizenship
- Another E2 country that you may wish to look into is Canada.
- Similar to Grenada, Canada has its own program for foreign investors to obtain citizenship on the basis of making an investment.
- As a disclaimer, I am not a Canadian immigration lawyer, nor am I qualified to give immigration advice as it pertains to Canada.For legal advice on Canadian immigration matters, you should contact a Canadian immigration lawyer. That said, Canadian citizenship can be obtained for as low as an investment of C$800,000.
3. E2 Alternatives
If you do not want to obtain citizenship to an E2 country, then you may wish to consider applying for a US visa other than the E2 visa.
Here are 2 options to consider:
L1 Visa
The L1 visa is a non-immigrant visa which allows a foreign company to transfer one of its employees to work for a related US company.
L1 Visa Requirements
- Qualifying relationship between foreign company and US company (ex: parent/subsidiary; branch office; affiliate)
- Continuous, full-time, work with the foreign company as either a manager, executive, or specialized knowledge worker (for at least 1 year within the last 3 years)
- Will work for the US company as either a manager, executive, or specialized knowledge worker
Similarities Between L1 and E2
As a foreign investor interested in an E2 visa, you may be wondering how an L1 visa can help you accomplish your goal of starting a business in the US. One way is that the L1 visa also allows a foreign company to transfer a manager or executive to set-up a new office in the US. So as long as the foreign company continues to operate and you satisfy the other L1 requirements, you an L1 visa can allow you to come to the US to start a new business.
EB5 Visa
The EB5 visa is an immigrant visa for investors and entrepreneurs. As an immigrant visa classification, the EB5 visa leads to a green card for the investor, their spouse, and children under 21 years old.
EB5 Visa Requirements
- Invest in a new commercial enterprise
- Invest a minimum of $1 million (or $500,000 if the investment is located in a TEA)
- Create at least 10 full-time jobs for US workers
- Investment funds must have been obtained lawfully
- Investment must be at risk
- Investor must engage in the management of the business
Similarities Between EB5 and E2
- Both the E2 visa and the EB5 visa provide a route for foreign investors and entrepreneurs to live and work in the US by making an investment in a US business. While the E2 visa requires you to possess citizenship of an E2 treaty country, the EB5 visa has no such requirement.
4. Conclusion
As an Indian investor or entrepreneur, you may be interested in pursuing an E2 visa. The E2 visa is a great option to start a business in the US or to purchase an existing business. However, to qualify for an E2 visa you must have citizenship from a country with an E2 treaty with the US. India does not have an E2 treaty with the US. Therefore, to qualify for an E2 visa, you may consider applying for citizenship to another country which has an E2 treaty with the US. Two countries you may wish to consider are Grenada and Canada. Alternatively, if you do not want to obtain citizenship to another country, 2 visas to consider (which have similarities to the E2 visa) are the L1 visa and the EB5 visa.

We are absolutely thrilled that we just got our e2 visa thanks to Ashoori Law! When we were searching for an immigration lawyer at the beginning of our journey, we came across the Ashoori Law Firm and were immediately impressed with all of their... reviews from clients. On our initial phone call to the firm we spoke with Eshan and we were immediately sold. He took the time to answer all of our questions and concerns and made himself available for future phone calls if we had any other questions about the process. Our lawyer Lahaina was wonderful and she always made sure that we stayed informed during the entire process. She fully prepared us for the interview and any hiccups we might come across. Thanks also to Patricia who we worked with us and took care of our business plan. She did a phenomenal job. Christina was also a huge help. She was so precise throughout the time we were gathering documents and information. She made sure that we had absolutely everything in order before our application was ready to submit. We are so grateful to the team and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ashoori Law!read more

Our journey started with a friendly call with Ehsan who ensured us that they would look after our E2 application process. We choose Fernando as our franchise consultant, who was very friendly, competent and did a thorough job introducing us to many... franchises. Fernando matched us with the very best franchisees. We were also very fortunate as we were assigned a competent immigration attorney, Cristina, who was very friendly yet professional. Cristina worked with us closely every step of the process until we successfully got our E2 change of status. I have heard from some Canadian families of their negative experiences with the immigration services at Ashoori Law, but that hasn't deterred us from we sharing Ashoori Law with other Canadian families, who have showed interest in getting their E2. In conclusion, we are very glad that our friends referred us to Ashoori Law.read more

Ashoori Law office assisted me in obtaining a re-entry permit for a green card holder. I had a free telephone consultation during which they explained the application process in detail, their fees, and their planned procedures. They assigned a... single point of contact who assisted me in filling out the application form, monitored the status and followed up with the immigration office when/if necessary. I felt that Ashoori Law had my best interest at heart and did everything they could to help me through the process. When my assigned contact person was out of the office (only once during this long process), someone else stepped in quickly to answer my questions. Their internal coordination worked seamlessly. If I have another immigration matter that requires a lawyer, I know I will reach out to Ashoori Law. I also recommend the Ashoori Law YouTube channel as it provides valuable information in a very timely manner.read more

I was very pleased with the work Ashoori Law did for me and am excited to take the next step moving forward in my journey to immigration to the U.S. My decision to work with Ashoori was one of the greatest things I have ever done in my entire life.... During the several months working with the firm, I learned a lot about the firm in addition to my first impression from the initial consultation. Ashoori Law is young, driven, positive, and passionate about helping others achieve their goals and dreams in their lives. They have a keen eye for finding out what you have whether big or small and have the knowledge and skills that turn it into a success. If your chances of success in your immigration journey are 10%, they won’t give up and lead you somewhere you are fully qualified and successful. Of course, you have to be cooperative to make that happen. For example, your honesty, sincerity, determination, professional attitude, communication, etc. will matter all the way to your success. I believe that Ashoori Law has great potential to continue to grow and serve diverse clients from around the world.read more

We placed our lives in their hands, and they truly took care of us. I HIGHLY recommend their services to anyone looking to obtain an E2 status.

Hello,My name is Adriana, I am from Colombia. I married my husband Edward who is an American citizen in Bogota Colombia in 2013. My husband moved to Bogota in 2015 until we decided in late 2022 it was time for me to apply for my USA Residency.... We started searching for Immigration Lawyers and came accross Michael Ashoori through a referral from EIN Express where I received my ITIN number. We emailed Ashoori Law and quickly received a reply explaining that a phone interview was required. The interviewer was ontime and very efficient in answering all our questions and concerns. We then decided to use Ashoori Law. A list of documents which were needed were sent to us, keep in mind that if you do not provide these Documents in a timely manner Ashoori Law can not do their job to help you. We had one person ¨Zeser¨ from almost the very beginning to assist us with every concern or question until today he continues to answer questions. Ashoori Law office filed all the documents with USCIS in the first week of June, 2022 in January 2023 I received my United States Of America Employment Authorization Card. I sincerely recommend Ashoori Law not only for their excellent customer service but also for their efficient work.Thank You.Adriana Hernández Bermúdez.read more

My company chose Ashoori Law to help me out in getting my work VISA to be able to move to the USA.At first, they send you a welcome email with all contacts and assigned lawyer. I think this is a nice touch so I can get familiar with the people... within the firm I can contact.I felt a little bit lost at first. They have their own sharepoint to upload files and fill out forms. However, after I had my first meeting with Lorianne (my lawyer) everything was cleared out.There was so many information to be gathered for my type of VISA. Lorianne was very helpful in giving us advise on the strategy to follow to present my case. Whole process to gather information took around 3-months.In the end, after one last meeting, we were able to have everything ready to submit. VISA was approved right away without any questions from the immigration department.This firm was great help during my process. I have only worked with Lorianne. However, judging by her response time and customer service, I think overall, it is a great firm for the process they helped me with.read more

Now let me tell you that the immigration attorney makes all the difference and choosing the right one will be key to the success of your endeavor!I had a very positive experience with AshooriLaw from the start and was impressed by the professionalism, the well organized workflow and the timely and friendly interaction. On top of that, I paid reasonable fees compared to other firms out there!

Ashoori Law helped get us an E2 visa. They were a dream to work with. They had a whole team who would take care of various aspects of our application and guided us every step of the way. We were on a time crunch and they got everything done on time... for us despite the rush and were so kind and patient through it all. We are so happy we found a great firm to continue working with in the future and can be sure of a great outcome and complete professionalism.read more

I discovered Ashoori Law after doing research on U.S. visa and immigration programs for Canadians. I came across Michael Ashoori’s YouTube channel, which, in retrospect, has the best explainer videos for U.S. immigration on the internet. After... watching his videos for a few weeks, I set up a consultation with Ashoori Law and was immediately connected with attorneys Ehsan Mehri and Lorianne Cercenia.I came into this fairly knowledgeable about the U.S. immigration system and what program I wanted to pursue. After reviewing my situation during the initial consultation phase, Ehsan explained what programs I’m eligible for as a Canadian. Lorianne was assigned my case and got to know my unique situation. She then recommended a visa option I had no clue existed – and it saved me a lot of time, money and headaches.Over the next few months, Lorianne collected my documents, prepared my application and helped me build a strong case for my visa. She was always extremely responsive and knowledgeable about the immigration system. When I attended my interview at the U.S. consulate, my application was quickly approved. That’s because I was prepared for everything, and my supporting documentation was iron-clad.I can’t speak highly enough about Ashoori Law. They took the time to get to know me and gave me a solution that matches my current set of circumstances. Their customer service is unmatched, and their knowledge of the immigration system is top-notch. I was reassured from the very beginning that my application was in good hands.Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the whole process. I got exactly what I wanted. I’ll be working with Ashoori Law for all my immigration needs moving forward. Thank you, Lorianne and team!read more

Ashoori Law had helped me with my O1 application. I cannot thank Michael, Jonathan and Ehsan enough for their real and genuine advisory and assistance all the way from the first contact till approval. The approval that I could have in a record time... of 2 days after submission due to my profile and their work to show it in the right way to the officer. I highly recommend them for O1 tech startups applicants.read more

Researched quite a bit before eventually selecting Ashoori Law as my attorney partners and I'm happy that I did . They are responsive, helpful and guide you through the entire process. I had many questions, and they had the answers and all... challenges were quickly addressed. Lahaina led my particular journey and provided quick feedback all along the way. They have a competent team and their portal makes submitting documentation really simple while allowing you to review where you are in the process, which I personally found extremely useful. A very good blend of technology and proficiency. Would definitely recommend.read more

My family and I hired Ashore Law to consult with, and to handle our immigration case whilst our migration from Pakistan to the USA. Ashore Law proved to be completely professional, functional and delivered services without any problems or... complications arising throughout our process. Their staff is indeed highly trained, extremely courteous and thoroughly professional. Ashore Law represented our case, on our behalf, and they delivered what they promised. Our applications for US immigration (E2) made through Ashore Law were handled very well throughout the process, and my family and I faced no difficulties whatsoever. I would definitely highly recommend Ashore Law for E2 consultancy services any day!read more

Michael Ashoori from the Ashoori Law firm has changed our family's life! We were here in the USA on a E2 non immigration Visa and thought we would be stuck with the E2 visa with no chance of immigration! When we contacted Michael and told him our... situation, he listened and started a game plan for us right away with an EB5 immigration Visa, Today we checked USCIS website for case update and we were thrilled when we saw our case approval notice. WOW LIFE CHANGING!!! We definitely recommend Ashoori Law firm for all your immigration services.read more

I retained Michael and team to help ease the process of filing and also just guide us so we do don’t experience any hurdles and sure enough, when submitting the paperwork, me and hubby forgot to append our signatures on one of the forms and Michael... and team immediately noticed before the forms were sent, the process went as smooth as it can be and guess what, after 3 months submitting the documents to uscis, I received my work permit and SSC and after 10 months into the processing period, we received my parole approve notice and a date for our interview appointment! To add a cherry to the cake, the team has availed itself for any questions and guidance to thoroughly prepare us for the interview! What higher manner of professionalism can be exhibited above this! The team is fully engaged and we are grateful.read more

Me and my wife applied for green card through Ashoori Law last December and our case were approved this October. I was in J-1 visa and applied NIW case. They really helped us out from the beginning, especially helping me writing the recommendation... letters. It seemed like their law firm had a lot of people who were very experienced and they answered all the questions that I had. They even had a backup strategy for me if my case was not approved after my visa was expired. I really appreciate all their hard work and kindness and I highly recommend others if they are seeking immigration to the US. I would definitely contact them when I need help for my immigration status.read more

Ashoori Law is a law firm you can trust and be sure they won’t leave you alone with your problems. I’ve been working with a few other lawyers before, but they all are working with you only because of money and don’t really care about you and your... situation.I contacted Ashoori Law’s team with an urgent situation and they were able to take my case, get everything done super smooth and fast. Ashoori Law’s team is reliable, professional and easy to work with. They take care of everything, all you need to do is cooperate and provide necessary papers on time.I highly recommend the firm and specially Shruti, who was working on my case. Only 5 star!read more
