What is an E2 Visa Attorney?

An E2 visa attorney is an immigration lawyer who assists clients when applying for an E2 visa, also known as an E2 Treaty Investor visa. These attorneys specialize in immigration law and help clients:

  • Understand if they qualify for the E2 visa
  • Complete applications
  • Collect all the required documentation
  • Resolve challenges they may face when the application is being reviewed

E2 visa lawyers are key to understanding whether a client may have a successful outcome when applying for the E2 visa.

How to Choose an E2 Visa Attorney

Choosing the right E2 visa attorney is key to a smooth application process. Here are ways to make the selection:

  • Experience: When you are looking for a lawyer to help you with your E2 visa application, you should consider those who have long-term experience in such visas and immigration issues. Look critically at their track record; see how they handled similar cases in the past. This can be a helpful tool in gauging their knowledge and ability to deal with the E2 visa complexities.
  • Specialization: It is important that the lawyer specializes in immigration law and must be very knowledgeable, with an in-depth understanding and expertise of E2 visas. Specialization means that the lawyer has dedicated time to this practice to develop a deep understanding and necessary specialized skills for clients who seek E2 visas.
  • Reputation: You must read online reviews, testimonials, and referrals from trusted sources to comprehensively evaluate the lawyer's reputation. A positive reputation implies a high level of professionalism, reliability, and customer satisfaction, which are the most important things to consider in your search for someone to handle your immigration issues.
  • Communication: Tend to attorneys who demonstrate outgoing and detailed communication skills. Communication skills are the key to ensuring that you clearly understand the visa process and address any possible questions and concerns. An attorney who is frank and amicable can be a source of reassurance and guidance as the visa application process is going on.
  • Accessibility: Pay attention to the attorney's availability and accessibility. The person you choose should be responsive to your inquiries and provide you with regular updates on your matter.
  • Consultation: Schedule appointments with prospective lawyers to present your case before them. Take advantage of the time to review their skills, methods, and suitability with your needs.
  • Fees: Know the attorney's fee structure before you start. Pick a person whose cost is declared clearly and reasonably within the context of the services they deliver. Attorney fees typically range from $2,000 to $5,000.
  • Personal Connection: Trust your inner voice and hire a lawyer with whom you feel comfortable. A positive rapport can provide you with a basic working relationship.

Tasks Performed by an E2 Visa Attorney

Tasks performed by an E2 visa attorney include:

  • Strategizing Source of Funds: This is the verification of the source of your funds to confirm that they were obtained legally. The attorney will help you with the documents that show how much you make, e.g., pay stubs or records of property sales. On top of that, they may give you advice on additional funding sources if required.
  • Reviewing Business Plan : Your lawyer will carefully look over the business plan to make sure it meets the visa requirements. They will evaluate whether your business is earning enough to cover the expenses between you and your family. Besides, they can suggest add-ons to your business plan to improve your application.
  • Preparing Documents: Your attorney will ask for the documents that are relevant to your particular situation. They will help you accumulate all the required paperwork and will also see to it that nothing important is left out. Along the way, they will continue to guide you on what documents are needed and how to present them properly.
  • Summarizing E2 Petition: Your lawyer will write a cover letter that covers the important points of your case for the immigration officials. This letter will give a summary of your identity, business details, funding source, investment amount, and some other important things. Moreover, it may include explanations and clarifications to address the potential questions of the immigration authorities.
  • Responding to Requests for Evidence (RFE): If immigration authorities request more information, your attorney will help you quickly and efficiently acquire the necessary information or documents. They will be responsible for ensuring that everything required to make the visa application successful is in place and addressing any concerns raised by USCIS.
  • Interviewing: Your lawyer will help you prepare for the E2 visa interview. They will assist you in responding to possible questions and organize your documents so that you can present them effortlessly. They aim to make you feel confident and ready for the interview process.
  • Monitoring: Your attorney will, however, monitor the progress of the visa application during the application process. They’ll periodically do this and pass on any pertinent information to you. This also consists of alerting you if USCIS makes any decision or asks for more information. They will also be available to help you with any questions or issues that may arise during the journey.

Key Terms for an E2 Visa Attorney

  • Application: The filing of the application documents and the supporting documents to apply for a visa, including the E2 visa, which usually requires the completion of forms, collection of evidence, and meeting certain conditions, are considered as the formal submission of paperwork.
  • Treaty Countries: Nations who have treaties of commerce and navigation relationships with the United States, so their citizens qualify for specific types of visas, for example, the E2 visa.
  • Investment Capital: Funds that an E2 visa applicant intends as an individual or company should participate in business investment, which should be important and at risk.
  • Business Plan: A detailed plan that sets forth the goals, strategies, and financial projections of a business must be prepared as part of an E2 visa application process to prove the investment's viability.
  • Decision Notification: Communication from immigration organizations, like USCIS or a US consulate, to the applicant, telling them the results of their visa case, whether it's an approval, denial, or a request for further action.
