U.S. E-2 Investor Residence Visa
The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa is the quickest form of obtaining a visa that allows you to reside in the United States. The E-2 is a non-immigrant visa reserved for citizens of countries that have a treaty of trade and commerce with the United States. The E-2 Investor Visa allows a foreign investor and his or her family to enter and work in the United States based on an investment in a business. The E-2 visa does not provide the applicant with a green card, but does provide the right to reside in the United States. The visa is renewable indefinitely as long as the business remains commercially viable.

E-2 Visa Path and Transfer
E-2 does not directly result in a "green card", but rather an E-2 may be converted to EB-5 to apply for citizenship over a period of time if the investment amount increases to meet EB-5 requirements.
Other fee
In addition to the required investment, there are other fees associated with the US E2 visa program, including application fees, citizenship by investment professional fees, applicable document certification fees, courier fees, and other minor expenses.

Investment Types and Costs
The investment may be in establishing a new business, purchasing an existing company or a franchise. The investment must be in a real, operating business. Speculative investments are not eligible and uncommitted funds in a bank account or similar securities are not considered investments.
Investment options:
New or Existing Business: The investor must be traveling to the United States to develop and direct the business. If the applicant is not the principal investor, he or she must hold a supervisory, management, or highly skilled position. The investment must generate income substantially greater than the livelihood of the investor and family or must have a significant economic impact on the United States.
E-2 Visa Investment Estimate: $150,000
If you are purchasing an existing business rather than starting a new one, the seller of the business may agree to place the funds in an escrow account that can only be transferred once the E2 visa is approved.
