E2 Visa Lawyer

OVERVIEW

    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 recently got approved for my E2 Visa Renewal after working my case with Ashoori Law. Cristina was my attorney and she was amazing! Everything from the initial call to discuss the case to the final call to prepare me for the consular interview was very efficient, professional and expedited. EVERYONE I talked to was very knowledgeable and showed great interest in my case! I loved the online portal and how easy it was to submit the required documentation and fill out all the forms! Would totally recommend them!

    I want to share my feedback about Ashoori Law Firm.

    Over the past two days, I had an amazing free consultation session with one of the best Immigration Managers, Mr. Andres Soto. He thoroughly answered all of my questions about the EB-2 NIW process and also suggested alternative options that could work for my situation.

    I was truly impressed by his expertise, professionalism, and kindness. He listened carefully and provided clear and detailed guidance.

    I highly recommend this firm for anyone seeking professional immigration support. If you are looking for an excellent consultant, I strongly suggest contacting Mr. Andres Soto.

    Thank you, Andres!

    I would like to thank Ashoori Law for getting my E-2 visa approved. The entire Ashoori team was incredibly helpful and proactive, with continuous follow-ups on my case status.

    A very special mention goes to our assigned attorney, Fadi Minawi, who was fantastic to work with. Fadi is friendly, highly organized, attentive to even the smallest details, and always responds to questions very quickly. I communicated with him mostly via email, and he usually replied the same day—many times within less than an hour.

    On one occasion, I had a question on December 24, and he even called me after office hours to answer it.

    I highly recommend Ashoori Law to anyone applying for an E-2 visa.

    My wife successfully immigrated to the United States from Tunisia, filing with Ashoori Law Firm. My assigned Lawyer was Giselle Rodriguez. I am a US Citizen, my wife a Tunisian National.
    Married my wife in Tunisia back in Aug of 2023, began filing immediately for a Marriage Visa beginning with a I-130. The initial lawyer fee was $3,500 paired with a Filing fee if $500 roughly. i spent about 4500 overall id say from start to finish getting my wife to the USA.
    Giselle and her team (Vanessa - manager and Julia - assistant) were kind, and friendly, quite knowledgeable.
    Giselle handled filing and ordering evidences.
    Julia was helpful with aiding us in putting together out interview documents and visa filing.
    whenever communications was difficult Vanessa was swift to respond and get answers. I will warn immigration takes time.
    As a US citizen filing for my spouse our I-130 took approx 14 months to be approved, our visa application around 4 months, Embassy interview about 2 months, plus 2 weeks to get her Passport with the visa in it back. upon landing USCIS customs was a little challenging as they first couldnt find her file. SO I STRONGLY SUGGEST bringing copies of all files related with you at the ready. we made it through though and now we are together finally as of 11-24-25. it took it over 2 years filing but with Ashoori we have successfully united. They are simple and easy, they go above and beyond to ensure youre peace of mind that all will go smoothly.

    They will walk you step by step through the whole process and make it work.

    I would like to thank Ashoori law for getting my E2 visa approved.  Michael’s entire team was incredibly helpful and proactive with continuous follow-ups on the case status. The Business Plan team was also very cooperative and patiently worked through multiple edits and revisions (they revised the draft seven times without any hesitation!).

    A very special mention about our assigned attorney Pardeep Singh.  Pardeep was fantastic to work with, friendly, highly organized, attentive to the smallest details, and always pushing us to prepare documents accurately and on time. We were very impressed with the attorney letter and supporting materials he submitted to the Consulate.  He accommodated our schedules for meetings and prepared us thoroughly for the interview, which made a big difference in our confidence.

    I highly recommend Ashoori Law!
