Investor Strategy, Built To Approve


Treaty investor visas built around your business plan.

At Lehigh Valley Immigration Law, we structure E-2 cases for entrepreneurs from treaty countries — start-up founders, franchise buyers, restaurant and hotel owners, tech investors, and acquirers of existing U.S. businesses — and we do it with an eye on what consular officers and USCIS actually approve.

An E-2 visa is not just paperwork. It is a story — your nationality, your funds, your business, and your active role — told in a way that satisfies "substantial investment," "at risk," "real and operating," and "more than marginal."

We work side-by-side with you, your business plan writer, your accountant, and your banker to build a filing that holds together under scrutiny, in English or in Spanish.

Nationality + treaty fitConfirm you (or 50% of the owners) hold a qualifying treaty country nationality.
Substantial + at riskMatch investment size to the cost of the enterprise — and document it irrevocably committed.
More than marginalShow the business will generate more than minimal living for you and create U.S. jobs.

Capital is mobile. A plan to deploy it is the visa.
