The E-2 visa is our craft.
There is no fixed minimum investment and no single template. E-2 cases turn on how well three things are built and evidenced — the work we do every day.
The right amount, proven
What counts as “substantial” depends on your business, not a magic number. We value it correctly and document that the capital is committed and at risk.
A plan that holds up
A credible five-year plan showing the business is real, viable, and more than marginal — the backbone of an approvable petition.
A clean money trail
A traceable path from earned to invested. Where your money came from can matter as much as how much it is. We build that trail before you file.
A senior attorney, start to finish.
Senior attorney attention
Your case is led directly by founding attorney Neil Jalota — the same senior oversight from your first call through approval. No anonymous queues.
A track record that speaks
1000+ approvals and a 95% success rate across investor, professional, and family matters.

What investors ask before they begin.
How much do I need to invest for an E-2 visa?
There is no fixed statutory minimum. The investment must be “substantial” relative to the cost of the business and sufficient to make it operational. Many successful E-2 cases involve investments starting in the low-to-mid six figures, but the right number depends on your specific business.
What is an E-2 treaty investor visa?
The E-2 lets nationals of treaty countries live and work in the U.S. by investing a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business they direct. It can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business remains active and viable.
Do I need to be in the U.S. to work with JBNP Law?
No. JBNP Law serves clients across the United States and internationally through a secure, fully remote process. Wherever you are, you’ll work directly with your attorney.
How long does the E-2 process take?
Timelines depend on whether you file through a U.S. consulate or within the U.S., and on current processing times. At your consultation we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your case.
