Maintaining E2 visa after approval of I-485

[Riaz k 0]

Hi,

 

I am on E2 visa and last week i got my green card. I want to know are there any requirements that i need to ensure before forfeiting my E2 status.  Coz i am planning to sell my corporation on which i applied my E2 visa.

After getting approved for GC, you become a permanent resident. You cannot be a permanent resident and non resident alien at the same time.

 

In my understanding, you lost your E2 status the moment you got GC.

 

This includes any tax benefits, e.g. you're now a US tax resident.

 

You may want to consult with an immigration lawyer, but you no longer have E2 in my understanding.

By the way, @Riaz k did you get your LPR status as an investor?

Did you get conditional or permanent GC? If you got conditional, you'll have to remove conditions at some point:

Either way, if this how you got your GC (investments), make sure to research a lot before selling the company. This may affect your residency and / or naturalization.

@OldUser My Green card is permanent with a validity of 10 years. I got it after applying under EB3. My employer sponsor my GC.
