What you'll leave knowing.
Seven topics. Thirty minutes. The full picture of the E-2 visa — from eligibility through to what happens after approval.
What the E-2 Visa Actually Is
A plain-language explanation of how the E-2 works, what USCIS is evaluating, and why most of what's online is misleading.
Who Qualifies — and Who Doesn't
Nationality requirements, business ownership thresholds, and the active management test that catches most applicants off guard.
How Much Do You Actually Need to Invest
The "no set minimum" rule explained honestly — what constitutes a substantial investment versus what gets denied at the consulate.
Buy a Business vs. Start One
The tradeoffs between acquiring an existing U.S. business and launching something new — and what each path means for your petition.
Timelines From Application to Approval
Standard processing, premium processing, and consular timelines — what to expect when, and how to plan your move around it.
Spouse, Children, and Long-Term Planning
Dependent visas, spouse work authorization, and how to keep your E-2 strategy aligned with a future green card path.
The Mistakes That Kill Cases
The six most common reasons E-2 petitions are denied — and the documentation moves that prevent each one.
