How Our Process Works
Choose the Right Entity and Visa Path
We assess your business model, investment amount, and immigration goals. Then we recommend the best entity type (LLC, C-corp, S-corp) and visa category (E-2, L-1, or startup strategy).
Form the Company and Draft Core Documents
We file your Articles of Organization or Incorporation, obtain your EIN, draft an operating agreement or bylaws, and set up compliant corporate structure. Your business is legal and ready to operate.
Prepare and File the Investor Visa Package
If pursuing E-2, we compile your business plan, financial evidence, and treaty investor documentation. We coordinate entity formation with visa filing to maximize efficiency and avoid delays.
Ongoing Legal Support as Operations Begin
After approval, we provide guidance on compliance, contracts, hiring, and visa renewals. Many clients transition to our monthly general counsel service for continued support.
What You Can Expect
Efficient Document Drafting
Articles of organization, operating agreements, bylaws, and corporate resolutions drafted efficiently using proven templates tailored to your business. Attorneys review and finalize everything.
Coordinated Filing Timeline
We coordinate state business filings with visa applications. You get a single timeline showing entity approval, EIN receipt, and petition status—all in one place.
Clear Evidence Checklists
For E-2 visas, we provide tailored checklists for financial documents, org charts, employment plans, and market analysis. We prepare thoroughly and ensure compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a qualifying investment for an E-2 visa?
There's no strict minimum, but most successful E-2 cases involve at least $50,000–$100,000 in a real, operating business. The investment must be substantial relative to the business type and be at risk. We help you structure evidence to meet USCIS standards.
Can my spouse work on an E-2 visa?
Yes. E-2 derivative spouses receive automatic work authorization and can work for any employer in the U.S. Children under 21 can attend school but cannot work until they obtain their own status.
How long does an E-2 visa last?
E-2 visas are typically granted in 2–5 year increments depending on your country's treaty. They can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business remains operational and you maintain your investment. We handle renewals as part of ongoing support.
Does my business need to be profitable already?
No. E-2 visas are granted based on the business plan and likelihood of success, not current profits. Startups and new ventures qualify as long as you show substantial investment, detailed planning, and realistic projections. We help you build a strong case.
Can I form the business first and then do the visa, or do they happen together?
Either way works. Some clients form the entity first and start operations before filing E-2. Others prefer to coordinate both simultaneously to save time. We customize the timeline based on your situation and urgency.
What happens after the E-2 is approved?
You maintain your business, file taxes, stay compliant with corporate and immigration rules, and plan for renewals. Many clients subscribe to our monthly general counsel service for ongoing contracts, compliance, and legal support.
