The United States, with its opportunities for entrepreneurs and its significant economic potential, was quite attractive. Before starting the application process, I researched the sectors I would invest in and assessed the profitability of my business. With the E-2 visa, I wanted to contribute to the local economy by establishing a business in the United States and also become a globally recognized businessman.

What documents did you prepare for the application and which documents were critical to the application?

During the application process, my E-2 visa investment plan, business plan, documents demonstrating the sustainability of the business, and financial data were crucial. I prepared bank documents accurately showing my investment amount, financial reports demonstrating my business's growth potential and profitability, documents outlining my market entry strategy, and market research clarifying my position in the industry. The most critical document was the details of my business plan, as it needed to be robust for the application. I also needed to demonstrate with concrete data how many jobs my business would create and contribute to the economy in the US. Seeking legal advice helped ensure the accurate preparation of my documents.

Can you provide information about your investment amount and the type of business you plan to do?

When I applied for my visa, my planned investment for the E-2 visa was approximately $500,000. My investment was in the restaurant industry. Located in one of America's major cities, this restaurant aimed to offer a concept that would appeal to both locals and tourists. My application was more robust because the restaurant included innovative elements such as a sustainable supply chain and the use of environmentally friendly products. I conducted a detailed analysis of how my investment would contribute to the American workforce and economy. This was one of the key factors supporting my application.

What is Your Strategy for Contributing to the Local Economy in the E-2 Visa Application?

When starting a business in the US, creating a workforce to contribute to the local economy was crucial. By establishing my restaurant, I wanted to create jobs for local people and stimulate the economic cycle.

My business plans also outlined how I would employ local suppliers and contribute to the US's sustainable development goals through environmentally friendly business practices. Emphasizing these details was crucial when preparing my application.
