Nationals of E-2 treaty countries are eligible, the first gate we check.
UNITED STATES · E-2 PATHWAY
A visa built around your business.
E-2 is not a passive route. It rewards founders who land, lead, and run a real US business, and keeps rewarding them at every renewal.
The shape of the route.
Three numbers worth knowing before you commit capital.
0 years
Typical initial admission window, indefinitely renewable while the business remains real and active.
0%
Of E-2 cases we run involve a working, owner-led business, not a paper one.
WHAT E-2 ACTUALLY IS
A treaty visa. Not a passive investment.
The bar is substantial investment in a bona fide enterprise that you direct. Everything else, vehicle, sector, scale, flows from that single test.
Talk to a treaty advisorFour essentials every E-2 file must answer.
Examiners read for these. We write them in from the first draft.
Treaty nationality
A qualifying passport, checked first, before any capital is committed or business is incorporated.
Substantial investment
No statutory floor, but the capital must be proportional to the business, at-risk, and irrevocably committed.
A real enterprise
Operating, generating revenue, hiring beyond yourself, not a vehicle held purely for the visa.
Direct and develop
You lead the business, strategy, hiring, customer-facing decisions, not a passive shareholder behind a manager.
Three horizons inside an E-2.
Initial admission
Spousal work authorisation
Renewal indefinitely
ALPHA OAK · TREATY DESK
We design the business so the visa fits.
Not the other way round. Corporate, immigration, banking and capital plan are sequenced as one file, so renewal in five years is the same file, only stronger.
