Temporary Investor Visas

By Sam McDougall Turner

Relocation to the United States of America can be a very difficult process. However there are several ways that you can vastly improve your chances of being granted a visa. One of the most common of these is to opt for an investor visa. There are two basis types, temporary and permanent.

A temporary investor visa is called an E-2.

The E-2 visa is popularly known as the Temporary Green Card. The reason for this is that there is no upper limit to the visa term and therefore extensions to your stay and visa renewals can be granted on a limitless number of occasions, provided that the qualifying investment is still in existence and all other conditions for the E-2 visa are still being satisfied.

This visa allows foreigners who have made substantial investments in the United States to relocate to the United States in order to develop and direct the business operation established by their investments.

You may fit the criteria for this visa if you are the investor in a foreign business, or are a vital employee such as a manager or executive, and if you and the large shareholders in the business are nationals of countries that have a long standing Treaty of Trade, Friendship and Commerce with the United States of America.

Executives and other essential employees must be from the same country as the corporation to be eligible for the E-2 visa. You will have to show that you are in the process of making an investment or that in investment has already been made.

The E-2 visa is for those who wish to invest a substantial sum of money either into an existing business for shares, or to start up a new business. The visa is most suited to those intending to play and active part in the running and direction of the business, and therefore may not be suitable for a silent investor.

Because investing in a US business and getting a visa is so uniquely complex, in order to ensure that your investment qualifies you for an E-2 visa, it is advised that you should seek competent, professional legal advice before investing. In order to get the best advice, you should contact a recommended business broker that has knowledge and experience in the criteria needed in an investment to make you eligible for an E-2 visa. - 23222
