Common Questions
Q

How long does it take to get E2 dependent visas?

Processing time varies by consulate, but typically ranges from 2–8 weeks after the interview.

Q

Can my spouse work immediately after arriving in the U.S.?

No, your spouse must first apply for an EAD using Form I-765. This typically takes 3–5 months once approved.

Q

What happens if my child turns 21 while on an E2 dependent visa?

Children who turn 21 lose their dependent status. We help plan for this transition well in advance.

Q

Do family members need to share the same nationality as the principal?

No. The spouse and unmarried children under 21 are eligible regardless of their nationality.
