INFINITI LAW

HIGHLIGHTS

 

• Nonimmigrant visa which allows an Investor to remain in the United States to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which the National has invested, or is in the process of investing a substantial amount of capital

   

• This visa can be extended indefinitely, provided the requirements continue to be met

   

REQUIREMENTS

 

• The investor, either a real or corporate person, must be a national of a treaty country (see E2 treaty country list)

   

• The investment must be substantial.  It must be sufficient to ensure the successful operation of the enterprise.  The percentage of investment for a low-cost business enterprise must be higher than the percentage of investment in a high-cost enterprise

   

• The investment must be a real operating enterprise.  Speculative or idle investment does not qualify. 

   

• The investment may not be marginal.  It must generate significantly more income than just to provide a living to the investor and family, or it must have a significant economic impact in the United States

   

• The investor must have control of the funds, and the investment must be at risk in the commercial sense.  Loans secured with the assets of the investment enterprise are not allowed.

   

• The investor must be coming to the United States to develop and direct the enterprise.  If the applicant is not the principal investor, he or she must be employed in a supervisory, executive, or highly specialized skill capacity.
