Has anyone here actually gone through the E-2 visa process recently?
I’ve spent the last month going down the E-2 rabbit hole and honestly feel like I know less now than when I started.
The weird thing is that the visa itself seems straightforward on paper. Invest in a business, show it’s legitimate, and apply. But once you start looking at real cases, everyone seems to have a completely different experience.
Some people are saying they bought an existing business. Others started from scratch. I’ve seen people claim they were approved with relatively small investments and others saying you need significantly more to have a strong case.
What I’m struggling with is understanding where the line actually is.
I’m also trying to avoid making expensive mistakes. I dont mind using a lawyer i just want a good one.
For those who have already gone through the process:
What business/lawyer did you use for your E-2?
Did you start it yourself or acquire an existing one?
Would appreciate hearing from people who’ve actually been approved rather than just immigration websites repeating the same information.
