Myth vs Reality

Myth

You need $500K or more.

Reality

There is no legal minimum. Approvals happen under $100K every month.

Myth

You need cash sitting in the bank.

Reality

Home equity and loans can fund the investment. It is legal.

Myth

Only a few countries qualify.

Reality

More than 80 countries have an E-2 treaty with the United States.

Myth

It is temporary so it is pointless.

Reality

The E-2 renews indefinitely and there is a path to a green card.

Myth

Your spouse cannot work.

Reality

Your spouse gets work authorization for any U.S. employer.

Myth

It takes years.

Reality

Many cases go from filing to visa stamp in a few months, not years.

Who Actually Qualifies

The Canadian who already has the cash in the house

You own a home in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, or Ottawa. The equity alone can fund the business. Most of our highest converting cases look exactly like this.

The investor Australia locked out

You were lined up for the 188 before it closed. You already decided to leave. The E-2 is the faster door, and it is still open.

The owner with a business idea and no roadmap

You have run a business before, or you have a clear plan. You do not need an MBA. You need to know if the numbers work for an E-2.

The family that wants the kids in U.S. schools

Spouse can work. Kids enroll in public school the day the visa stamps. The whole family moves on one application.

You Only Need Three Things

People assume the E-2 is a wall of requirements. It is not. It comes down to three things, and most qualified people already have all three.

1. A treaty country passport

You hold citizenship from one of the 80 plus countries with an E-2 treaty. Canada, the UK, Australia, Spain, Mexico, and many more.

2. A real investment in a real business

Money put at risk in an active U.S. business. There is no statutory minimum. Home equity and loans count.

3. A business that does more than support you

The business should be able to hire and grow, not just pay your own salary. A solid plan is enough at the start.

How This Works

Step 1

Free eligibility check

Answer a few questions. Twenty seconds. No pitch, no payment, no obligation. You find out where you stand before anyone calls you.

Step 2

Attorney match

If you qualify, we match you with an immigration attorney who has filed E-2 cases hundreds of times. We are the bridge, not the lawyer.

Step 3

Application and commitment

The attorney builds your case. If a clean, attorney prepared case is denied, it gets refiled at no additional legal cost.

The Real Cost of Getting This Wrong

Waiting

Consular reviews are stricter every year. Your kids get older. The home equity you would invest sits idle while costs climb. Waiting is not free.

A denial

A weak or DIY filing can get denied, and a denial follows you. Doing it right the first time is cheaper than fixing a rejection.

The wrong attorney

A lawyer who files one E-2 a year is not the same as one who files them every week. The match matters as much as the visa.

Two Guarantees

The eligibility check is free

No card, no call required to find out. You learn if you qualify in about 20 seconds. If you do not, we tell you honestly.

Refile at no cost

If a clean case the matched attorney prepared is denied, it gets refiled with no additional legal fee. The risk does not sit on you alone.

Questions People Ask Before They Start

How much do I really need to invest?+

There is no statutory minimum. Many approvals come in under $100K. The right number depends on the business. We help you find out before you commit anything.

Can I use my home equity or a loan?+

Yes. Funds from home equity or a loan you are personally liable for can count as your investment. This is common and legal.

Is my country on the treaty list?+

More than 80 countries have an E-2 treaty with the U.S., including Canada, the UK, Australia, and Spain. The eligibility check confirms yours in seconds.

Can my spouse work and can my kids go to school?+

Yes. Your spouse can apply for work authorization for any employer. Your children can attend U.S. public schools.

Is the E-2 permanent?+

It is renewable indefinitely as long as the business operates. There is also a path toward a green card for many investors.

How long does it take?+

Many cases move from filing to a visa stamp in a few months. Timelines depend on the consulate and how clean the case is.

Do I have to run the business myself?+

You need to direct and develop the business. You do not have to work the counter. The attorney structures this correctly.

What does IAVRS actually do?+

We are not a law firm. We check if you likely qualify and connect you with a vetted immigration attorney. The legal work is theirs.

What happens if I am denied?+

If a clean, attorney prepared case is denied, it is refiled at no additional legal cost. We screen out weak cases before they ever file.

What does the free check cost me later?+

Nothing. The check is free and there is no obligation. If you decide to move forward, the attorney quotes you directly.

You're Not Just Applying for a Visa. You're Claiming the Life You Built.

You did the hard part already. You built the business, saved the money, raised the family. The E-2 is the door. Take 20 seconds and find out if it is open for you.
