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 had an excellent experience with Ashoori Law Firm, and I highly recommend their services. From start to finish, the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. They were extremely responsive, clear in their communication, and provided me with full support throughout the entire process, which gave me great confidence and peace of mind.
I would also like to give a special shout-out to Andreas Soto for his outstanding support from day one. His guidance, continuous follow-ups, and thoughtful recommendation of the right attorney for my case made a significant difference. Andreas was always available, attentive, and genuinely invested in ensuring everything went smoothly.

Working with Ashoori Law was the best decision I made. Their attention to detail and diligence at every step of the GC process was remarkable. It is rare to find a firm that provides such frequent check-ins while also ensuring you get a quick response every single time you call or email. They treated my case with urgency and care, and I am very happy working with them. I felt confident and informed throughout. I highly recommend them and will be working with them in future.

I used services of Ashoori Law for my L-1A petition. I started the process in Oct 24 by talking to eleven immigration law firms, of which Ashoori Law was the 8th. During my initial free consultation, I waited on the call for 10 minutes and when no one joined, I wrote to Michael and informed him of the situation. It was late in the evening in CA but Michael replied back immediately, apologised and assured me that someone would be in touch. The next morning, Ehsan got in touch, walked me through the process in detail and explained exactly how things would work. Later Ehsan arranged a call with the immigration Cristina Casabianca, who walked me through the specifics of the petition and give a clear an honest picture of the work involved, the challenges and chances of success. I selected Ashoori Law because of these three interactions with Michael, Ehsan and Cristina. Their professionalism, sincerity, honesty and enthusiasm impressed me above all the other firms that I had spoken to.
Over the next 10 months, Ashoori Law followed through progress of the case at every stage and were quick to respond to all my queries. Their teams and partners guided me smoothly through all the requirements of the petition and stepped in wherever it was necessary to address any of my concerns.
Thanks to their team and partners, I had a successful outcome to my petition. Cristina then guided me throughout the visa application and interview process and gave me advice on the things that I should bear in mind during my move.
I highly recommended the services of Ashoori Law and their partners.

I had a great experience with Ashoori Law office, specifically with Geo Davidson. He helped arrange a consultation with an amazing attorney and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was his follow-up—he genuinely cared about making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt supported throughout the process. His professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made a big difference.
I highly recommend working the Ashoory Law Office team.

After approaching multiple lawyers, I came across Ashoori law. Michael and his team were very professional, helpful and understanding. We went through a less painstaking, systematic approach. Even though we were miles apart we got our work done through Ashoori law. Will definitely recommend this place and will go here for all our further immigration and other lawful needs. Thank you Michael and team. Was a pleasure dealing with you.
