E2 Business Visa
For individuals who wish to stay in Pakistan and apply for a U.S. business visa, specifically an E2 Business Visa, and aim to move to the U.S. to start their own business, here are the key aspects they need to understand:
1. Guidance for Applying for an E2 Visa
• Eligibility: The E2 visa is available to nationals of countries that have a treaty of commerce and navigation with the U.S. (Pakistan is one of them).
• The applicant must plan to invest in a real, active, and operating business in the U.S.
• The business should generate enough income to support the applicant and their family.
2. Investment Requirements
• There is no fixed minimum investment amount, but it must be “substantial.” Generally, investments of $100,000–$150,000 or more are considered reasonable, though smaller amounts may also qualify in specific cases.
• The investment should cover initial startup costs, operational expenses, and future growth potential.
3. Legal Money Transfer to the U.S.
• Funds must be legally transferred through proper banking channels to demonstrate the legitimacy of the investment.
• The applicant must provide documentation to prove the origin of the funds and their legal transfer to the U.S.
4. Lifestyle and Children’s Education
• The E2 visa allows you to live in the U.S. with your family.
• Dependents, such as your spouse and children under 21, can accompany you.
• Your spouse can apply for work authorization in the U.S., and your children can attend schools or universities.
• The income generated from the business should be sufficient to support your family and maintain a good lifestyle.
5. Steps to Take
• Consult a qualified immigration lawyer (such as Mr. Onnan Ali) to guide you through the visa application process and documentation.
• Select a viable business or franchise to invest in within the U.S.
• Prepare a comprehensive business plan showcasing the potential profitability and sustainability of the business.
• Fulfill all financial and legal requirements, including U.S. tax compliance.
6. Benefits of the E2 Visa
• You can live and work in the U.S. while managing your business.
• The visa is renewable indefinitely as long as the business remains operational and profitable.
• You gain access to a high-quality education system and a better lifestyle for your family.
It’s essential to work closely with legal and financial professionals to ensure that every step is handled properly, making your transition to the U.S. smooth and successful.
