Visa E-2 invest in Florida

[Angeladjc88 0]

Hello, I would like the opinion of you on E-2 visa.

My husband and I want to go to the USA as a student, study English for one year and analyze the market in Florida, choose a business and then go to the procedure for E-2 visa.

Does this visa is very bureaucratic? We Have $ 130,000.00 to invest in a new business.

Does anyone have experience with this visa?

Thankyou!

You don't have enough money; what you have will barely cover your college fees and living expenses for one year, let alone setting up a business large enough for the E2.

$ 130,000,00 would be only for investment, the cost of the course is not included.

I researched a lot and does not have a certain value to open a new business with the E-2.

Lawyers say to invest a minimum from $ 100,000.00.

Does that $130K take into account the fees for school? Attending school in the US is not cheap.

Regardless - have you inquired as to the actual cost of setting up a business in the US? $130K does not sound like enough, even if it is the 'minimum'

good luck

basically u need proof. on your F1-OPT visa status, you need to show you have a bona fide business. this can be rental agreements, emoployees hired with with tax returns filed, a sound business plan or such. without proper business documentation and investment it is hard for them to justify the grant for an e2
