E-2 Treaty Investors :
The E-2 classification is authorized for a national of a country
with which the United States has a commercial treaty, who is coming
to the United States solely to direct and develop the operations of
an enterprise in which he or she has invested, or is actively
involved in the process of investing, a substantial amount of
capital. If the alien is inside the U.S., the I-129 should be used
to apply for a change of status, extension of stay, or change of
employment. This category does not require a petition for employment
if the alien is outside of the U.S. In that case, the alien applies
for this category on his or her own behalf directly to a U.S.
consular office abroad. The investment involved must place lawfully
acquired, owned, and controlled capital at commercial risk with a
profit objective, and be subject to loss if the investment fails.
*The above information is general in nature and should not be
considered legal advice. Please consult with an attorney to discuss
the specifics of your case.
