To qualify for an E2 visa, you must meet specific criteria established by U.S. immigration law.
Treaty Country National
You must be a national of a country that has a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. Arabian countries with E2 treaties include Jordan, Oman, and others.
Substantial Investment
You must have invested or be actively investing a substantial amount of capital in a bona fide enterprise in the United States.
Real Operating Business
The investment must be in a real, operating commercial enterprise. Passive investments do not qualify for E2 visa status.
Control & Direction
You must be coming to the United States to develop and direct the investment enterprise. This is established by showing at least 50% ownership.
Marginal Enterprise
The enterprise must not be marginal. It should have the present or future capacity to generate more than enough income to provide a minimal living.
Temporary Stay Intent
You must intend to depart the United States when your E2 status ends, though the visa can be renewed indefinitely.
Investment Amount Guidelines
While there's no legal minimum, the investment must be substantial relative to the total cost of the business.
