In exchange for an investment amount as little as $50,000, you can obtain E-2 investor status by starting a new business or purchasing an existing one. The investor must show ownership of at least 50 percent. 

The E-2 Visa is only available to citizens of countries the U.S. has E-2 treaties with. These countries include Pakistan, Canada, Great Britain, and Mexico. While an E-2 Visa does not lead directly to a Green Card, it can provide you with benefits such as:

1. Work authorization for you and your spouse
2. Social Security Numbers for you and your spouse
3. The ability for your children to legally attend school
4. The ability to renew E-2 status every 2 years without limit
5. Premium processing by the government, which allows for quick approvals

While a minimum investment amount is not specified by USCIS, our clients have been successful investing as little as $50,000.
