Sterling Heights, Michigan E-2 Investor Visa Attorney Serving Clients Nationwide
Guiding Foreign Investors Through the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa Process
The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa provides foreign nationals from qualifying treaty countries with the opportunity to live and work in the United States by investing in and actively managing a U.S. business. At Valeo Law, we represent entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners seeking E-2 classification, offering strategic legal guidance designed to support both new ventures and existing enterprises.
E-2 investor visas are commonly used by individuals launching startups, purchasing established businesses, or expanding foreign companies into the U.S. market. Because E-2 petitions are closely scrutinized by U.S. immigration authorities, success depends on demonstrating a substantial investment, a viable business model, and the investor’s active role in directing the enterprise. Valeo Law provides experienced representation to clients in Detroit and Grand Rapids, as well as investors and companies nationwide, guiding them through every phase of the E-2 process.

E-2 Investor Visa Eligibility and Investment Requirements
E-2 eligibility is based on several core requirements, including nationality of a treaty country, a substantial investment in a U.S. business, and the investor’s ability to develop and direct the enterprise. While there is no fixed minimum investment amount, the funds must be sufficient to ensure the successful operation of the business and must be irrevocably committed and at risk.
Applicants must also demonstrate that the business is more than marginal, meaning it has the present or future capacity to generate more than minimal living income and contribute economically through job creation or significant economic activity. In addition, investors must show lawful source of funds, ownership or control of at least 50 percent of the enterprise, and intent to depart the United States upon termination of E-2 status.
Each E-2 case presents unique legal and factual considerations, particularly for startups and first-time investors. At Valeo Law, we carefully evaluate investment structures, business plans, and supporting documentation to ensure each petition meets current adjudication standards and is positioned for approval.
