Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about E2 family visa support and dependent visas.
How long does it take to get E2 dependent visas?
The processing time varies by consulate, but typically ranges from 2-8 weeks after the interview. We help expedite the process by ensuring all documentation is complete and accurate.
Can my spouse work immediately after arriving in the U.S.?
No, your spouse must first apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) using Form I-765. This typically takes 3-5 months to process, but once approved, they can work for any employer.
What happens if my child turns 21 while on an E2 dependent visa?
Children who turn 21 lose their dependent status. However, they may be eligible for other visa categories. We help plan for this transition well in advance.
Do family members need to maintain the same nationality as the principal?
No, family members do not need to be from a treaty country. The spouse and unmarried children under 21 are eligible regardless of their nationality.
Can family members apply for dependent visas after the principal gets E2 status?
Yes, family members can apply for dependent visas at any time while the principal E2 visa holder maintains valid status in the United States.
What if we have a child born in the U.S. while on E2 status?
Children born in the United States automatically become U.S. citizens. This can provide additional immigration options for the family in the future.
