Whenever applying for something, we aim to get a smooth transaction. We want it to get quickly approved and to have no windows for denials as much as possible. In that sense, some applicants dedicate time to review their documents repeatedly to get things right.
According to Ashoori Law, you have several requirements to qualify for the E2 visa. Take note that those requirements are to qualify only. This is not yet the approval stage. So there are many chances that even if you have completed all documents, you will still get denied.
To avoid any possible windows for revocation, denial, or cancellation, read through this article so that we will update you. Also, you can chat this over with your immigration lawyer, and Ashoori Law can help with that one.
E2 Visa: An Overview
The E2 visa is awarded to non-immigrants who want to conduct business or investments in the United States of America. This visa grants you the authority to legally operate the company or the investment you put up in the USA. They will determine the length of stay depending on the treaty agreement of your country of nationality with the USA.
Some countries have a period of stay for about three months, while others have as long as thirty-six months. But you don’t have to worry if your land has the shortest stay among all other countries. You have the option to renew or reapply if that happens. In addition, you can also opt to apply for a green card.
Things to remember to get quickly approved
On this page, we will advise you on all the things that you need to know to have your visa application quickly approved.
1. Substantial business or investment
Although the USCIS does not impose any minimal amount regarding the business or investment, they look at it very well. Generally, those with less than $100,000 get more scrutinization or additional documents required.
This action is because low funded investments or business tends to liquidate or end to bankruptcy more often. Furthermore, they are subject to lesser operating funds that may disrupt the further operation. Moreover, they will have problems recovering if the business faces a shortcoming in just two weeks.
If your business or investment is within or above $100,000, the immigration officer will only ask minimal questions and require just the primary documents. In that sense, lesser problems for you.
2. Proof of business profitability
It is not enough that the business is substantial to approve an E2 visa. You should also prove that it will generate income to sustain the next operating month and the following months after. In addition, you should also provide evidence on how you can provide salary to your employees.
The proof should show moderate growth and profit structure to approve an E2 visa. If the net profit looks too good to be a reality, it can be subject to denial.
3. Show your leadership skill during the interview.
Since you will be the one to manage the E2 business, you must prove that you are fit for the position. The immigration officer might ask for your resume or curriculum vitae to check for your previous employment history if you have related experiences. On top of that, the immigration officer might throw away some questions to check your managerial skills in dealing with some business problems.
If the immigration officer notices a flaw in your skills, they might ask for additional documents to support your position. But worst-case scenario, they might disapprove of your visa application right away. Our suggestion is to take some leadership training and skills enhancement training to support your position.
4. You must be irreplaceable by the US market.
Another thing is that you must be the only one fit for the position. In this sense, the immigration officer and the USCIS must see that you cannot be replaced in any way by any US citizen employee. If they know that US citizens can replace you, you will be denied right away.
Why? Because what is the point of going to the US if the US citizens can do what you can do. You will add up to the overall competition that will give you a slimmer chance of winning in your game.
Conclusion
This advice is just a few of what you can do to secure the approval of your visa. But we can guarantee that they are the best and the most simple suggestions you will need. If you have queries, you can always consult your immigration lawyer about all those matters for a unique-fit solution.
