Meeting the Legal and Financial Requirements
Applying for a treaty trader or investor visa is a process that entails much more than simply filling out forms—it's a comprehensive undertaking that involves demonstrating the financial structure, legitimacy, and scale of your business or investment activities. Navigating this complex landscape is crucial to your success. For an E-1 visa, it is essential that the trade conducted is substantial, primarily involving transactions between your home country and the United States, which adds an important dimension to the application process. In the case of the E-2 visa, you must ensure that your investment is active, meaning that it is directly engaged in running the business rather than sitting idle, and the amount must be significant enough to support a viable enterprise that can thrive. It's also imperative that you provide evidence showing that your business will generate an income that exceeds merely minimal amounts sufficient to support you and your family.
The team at Lacki & Company, LLC is dedicated to guiding clients through this intricate process, working closely to gather all necessary documentation, structure the application effectively, and present a clear, organized case to immigration authorities, thereby maximizing the chances of a favorable outcome.

Meeting the Legal and Financial Requirements
Applying for a treaty trader or investor visa entails much more than merely filling out forms; it requires a thorough demonstration of the financial structure, legitimacy, and scale of your business or investment operations. For those seeking an E-1 visa, the trade must be substantial and primarily occur between your home country and the United States, which means you will need to provide detailed evidence of the frequency and volume of these transactions. Conversely, for an E-2 visa, your investment must be active rather than passive, and it should be significant enough to support a viable and flourishing enterprise.
Additionally, you will need to prove that your business has the potential to generate more than just minimal income to sustain you and your family comfortably. To navigate this complex process, the attorneys at Lacki & Company, LLC work closely with clients, assisting them in gathering all necessary documentation, structuring the application effectively, and presenting a clear and organized case to immigration authorities, thereby enhancing the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Staying Compliant and Planning for What’s Next
After receiving an E-1 or E-2 visa, it’s crucial that you diligently maintain your business operations and continuously meet the specific terms of your visa in order to remain in good standing with immigration authorities. This involves adhering to visa timelines, ensuring your business remains actively engaged in its operations, and preparing for renewals when required, which can often be a complex process. Whether your long-term goal is to expand your operations, hire additional employees to grow your team, or eventually apply for permanent residency in the United States, staying ahead of regulatory requirements is essential to your success.
Failing to comply with these regulations can lead to serious repercussions for your business and residency status. Lacki & Company, LLC offers comprehensive and ongoing support for clients holding E visas, guiding you through the complexities of the immigration process and helping you take the next steps in both your immigration and business journeys with confidence.
