E2 Visa Lawyer: 4 Important Tasks Your E2 Visa Lawyer Should Perform

E2 Visa Lawyer

If you are interested in applying for an E2 visa, you will most likely retain an immigration lawyer to represent you throughout the visa process.

 

In this guide, I’ll explain some of the important tasks your immigration lawyer will perform throughout the E2 visa process.

 

If you have any questions, or if you need help with your E2 visa, feel free to email me directly at contact@ashoorilaw.com. I’m highly responsive via email and I’d be happy to help you.

 

1. Your E2 Visa Lawyer Should Strategize Your Source of Funds

 

As an E2 visa applicant, one of the main requirements to get your E2 visa approved is the source of funds requirement. You must show that your investment funds were obtained lawfully. Examples of lawful sources of funds include employment earnings and proceeds from the sale of a property.

 

To satisfy this requirement, it is highly important to have documentation clearly demonstrating how the funds were earned.

 

Your E2 visa lawyer should analyze all of your income sources for the last several years to determine the best approach to take. Often times, the best approach will depend on which income sources are the easiest to document and trace.

 

2. Your E2 Visa Lawyer Should Review Your Business Plan

 

Another highly important role for your E2 visa lawyer is to review your E2 business plan.

 

To qualify for an E2 visa, there are 2 important requirements regarding your business:

 

  • You must invest in an active, for-profit business.

 

  • Your business cannot be a marginal enterprise. A marginal enterprise is a business that only generates enough income to provide a minimal living for the E2 investor and their family.

 

The business plan is one of the main pieces of evidence to show that you comply with the 2 requirements listed above.

 

Your E2 visa lawyer should carefully review your business plan to make sure that the business type, financial projections, and other pertinent information satisfy the visa requirements.

 

3. Your E2 Visa Lawyer Should Specify a List of Documents for You to Provide to Them

 

No two E2 visa cases are exactly the same. Your E2 visa lawyer should consult with you to understand the details of your particular case. Your lawyer should then request specific documents from you based on your case.

 

Your lawyer should then be in communication with you throughout the document collection process to advise you if you’re missing anything and to let you know if your application is lacking in any particular area. If so, your lawyer should suggest ways to improve your case before filing.

 

4. Your E2 Visa Lawyer Should Summarize Your E2 Petition

 

By the time your application for an E2 visa is ready to file, there will be hundreds of pages of documentation and other evidence submitted to show that your case is approvable.

 

Your E2 immigration lawyer should prepare a cover letter simplifying all of the evidence. The letter should clearly summarize your case so that the immigration official reviewing your case can easily understand who you are, what type of business you’re investing in, where the money is coming from, how much you’ve already invested, and the other important points.

 

The purpose of your lawyer’s cover letter is to simplify and explain hundreds of pages in just a few pages.

 

Conclusion

 

Please note that this is not a complete list of the tasks your immigration lawyer will perform throughout the E2 visa process. This article is intended to provide a glimpse of some of the tasks your E2 immigration lawyer should perform.

I would like to express my most heartfelt gratitude and thanks to Michael Ashoori and the entire Ashoori Law team. I just received my passport with my E2 visa stamp this morning and I boarded my flight to the US tonight. It has been a long and stressful journey with many stops, starts, pivots, and redirections. Along the way my assigned attorney Pardeep Singh was patient and very generous with his time accommodating the twist and turns of my application. He understood how important the application was to me personally; it was not just “another file” for him. He used to tell me, that “on game day (interview date) to ensure the best chances of success, it is critical that the Consular officer have a well-prepared application in front of him” so he was always focused on the smallest details. He delivered on what he and Michael promised, and I was approved. My family and I are very happy!

Thank you again Michael and Pradeep!

I would like to thank Michael Ashoori and his entire team for my E2 approval! I would like to give a very special thank you to my assigned attorney, Pardeep Singh for his dedication, attention to detail, mastery of the law, and the excellent application he presented to the Consulate. Being a seasoned executive with decades of business experience, routinely interacting with “icons and titans” of the hospitality industry from around the world, I already had my own vision of how to portray my business, what documents to produce, and how best it should be presented. Pardeep took all the data, completely dissected it, disregarded nonrelevant items, and reorganized the data and documents so that they were a “natural” fit with all the required elements of the visa. He over engineered my entire file, prepared me for the interview thoroughly, had me repeatedly watch Michael’s interview prep videos, and at the interview all went smoothly and I was approved. I whole heartedly endorse Michael Ashoori, his entire team, and Pardeep! To anybody looking for immigration services, the Ashoori team truly care and take a vested interest in your success.

My business is multinational and the crown jewel is opening my US office. With my E2 approval, I can now pursue my dream of expanding my business in the vast US market. Again, thank you Michael, I am glad I found you!

It was tough, but the Ashoori Law firm made it easier than anything. It was within 4 months, and the case was closed. Officers at Ashoori Law, including John Walton, Charlotte, Matthew Larsen, and especially Attorney RYAN MORGAN KNIGHT. Ryan was exceptionally efficient, knowledgeable, and dedicated to his clients. I was impressed by his promptness and expertise. I actually had concerns about my case and was worried when ICE was deployed to our area, so I requested Attorney Knight to accompany me to the USCIS office. He kindly accommodated my request. John Walton was always busy, but he would surely sort one out.
If you're looking for reliable and skilled immigration attorneys, I highly recommend Ashoori Law, particularly Attorney Ryan Morgan Knight.
NB: I still want to talk to Attorney Michael Ashoori himself.
