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

Editor:

 

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.

We had an incredible experience working with Ashoori Law for our E2 visa application and we got approved. Shruti Bali, was our assigned attorney, she was exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process. Nicole, our franchise consultant, provided amazing guidance in helping us choose the right business path and was a great support from start to finish. Patricia crafted a thorough and professional business plan that was instrumental to our approval. Special thanks to Ehsan, who coordinated everything seamlessly — making what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth and stress-free. We’re truly grateful to the entire team at Ashoori Law for helping us achieve this milestone! We will be using them for our future needs and also already started recommending to our friends.

I would like to thank Ashoori Law for the approval I just received for my E2 visa. My file was factually and personally complicated, but due to my assigned attorney, Mr. Pardeep Singh’s, diligence, attention to detail, patience, and expertise, he was able to put together an outstanding application. His professionalism continued all the way through to preparing me for the interview and having the benefit of watching Michael Ashoori’s E2 interview prep YouTube video was also extremely helpful. To anyone thinking about filing for any type of visa application, I strongly recommend hiring Ashoori Law. They get results!

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional support I received from this law office. From the very first call, they showed genuine sympathy and understanding of my situation, which made me feel truly cared for. Every time I reached out, Mr.Ehsan Mehri answered promptly and patiently, always taking the time to explain things clearly and guide me through each step. His constant presence and reassurance made a huge difference during a stressful time - it felt like he were right beside us, every step of the way. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for not just professional expertise, but also heartfelt compassion and unwavering support.
