Hi ,
I would like to know the following information about E2 (treaty investor) visa :

- what is the minimum amount of capital for a successful investment .
- where or to what account the initial amount is transferred before gaining an
E2 visa for entry .
- Can the investor (applicant for E2 visa) work in occupations other than the
business he/she invested in , during his stay in U.S. ?
- should the business be a newly founded business with 100% of shares
belonging to the investor or can the investment be just a vital percentage of
shares of an existent and running business ?

Many Thanks in advance

In answer to your questions.

- There are no set figure however the general figure I have come across is Minimum of $150,000
- The money is kept in a ESCROW Account
- The Applican can ONLY work for that business However, the dependant (wife/husband) can work for ANY company...
- Can be both but if its a percentage you are generally better of to have greater than 50%

Hope this helps!

Is was really helpful , but is that ESCROW Account is a kind of governmental
account and how the withdrawal of fund is guaranteed ?

Many thanks again

The Account is generally organised by your Attorney and based on the success of your application the money will be transfered legally to the seller or returned to you.

Best of luck!
