How Long Your E2 Visa Will be Valid For (Not All Countries the Same!)

Author: Ashoori Law




Aspiring entrepreneurs and investors looking to pursue the American Dream through an E2 Investor Visa should be aware of the limitations of an E2 visa. For example, not all E2 visas are valid for the same length of time, and not all E2 visas have the same terms regarding their ability to enter and exit the US. This blog post explains how to check how long your E2 visa will be valid for.


To start off, the E2 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows someone to invest in a US business, either by starting a new business or investing in an existing one, and to live in the US while operating their business. However, the E2 visa is only available to citizens of certain countries that have an E2 treaty with the US, which excludes certain major countries including China, India, Brazil, and Russia.


For citizens of countries with an E2 treaty with the US, the length of the E2 visa and the number of entries authorized can vary depending on the applicant’s country of citizenship. For example, citizens of Canada are eligible to receive an E2 visa with a validity period of 60 months (five years) and a multiple-entry visa. On the other hand, citizens of Jordan are issued an E2 visa for a maximum period of three months and only authorized for a single entry.


To check the terms of a potential E2 visa, we suggest going to www.travel.state.gov and clicking on “U.S. Visa: Reciprocity and Civil Documents by Country.” From there, select the letter corresponding to the applicant’s country of citizenship and find the relevant information about the E2 visa’s validity period and number of entries authorized.


In summary, if you are considering pursuing an E2 Investor Visa, it is important to understand that the length of the E2 visa and the number of entries authorized can vary depending on your country of citizenship. Check the terms of your potential E2 visa on www.travel.state.gov to ensure that you are informed about the requirements and limitations of your visa.

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!
