AI Technology Meets Rigorous Legal Expertise

ImmigrAIte is the first immigration law firm to integrate artificial intelligence into the preparation of E-2 investor visa cases. Based in Santa Monica, California, our firm was founded on a single premise: that superior technology and genuine legal expertise, working together, produce results that neither can achieve alone.

Unlike immigration consultants or generalist attorneys, ImmigrAIte is exclusively focused on the E-2 visa. That singular focus means we anticipate consular officer objections before they arise, craft business plans that meet the precise evidentiary standards USCIS demands, and resolve issues that derail other applicants' cases.

Every case is personally handled by our licensed California attorney, ensuring your application meets the highest legal and ethical standards from the first consultation to the day your visa is approved.

FAQ

Everything You Need
to Know About the E-2

What is the minimum investment required for an E-2 visa?
+
There is no fixed statutory minimum, but USCIS generally considers investments starting around $50,000 to be "substantial." The key is proportionality — your investment must be significant relative to the total cost of the enterprise. We assess this during your eligibility consultation.
How long does the E-2 visa last?
+
For most treaty country nationals, the E-2 visa is granted for up to 4 years and can be renewed indefinitely as long as your business remains active and viable. There is no cap on the number of renewals.
Can my family accompany me on an E-2 visa?
+
Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 are eligible for E-2 dependent visas. Your spouse will also qualify for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), allowing them to work for any U.S. employer.
Can I purchase an existing business for the E-2?
+
Absolutely. Acquiring an existing business — including a franchise — is often the strongest E-2 strategy because it immediately demonstrates commercial viability and job creation. Our escrow service is specifically designed to protect your acquisition deposit during this process.
How does your escrow service work?
+
Our escrow service holds your acquisition deposit in a secure, attorney-managed account during the business purchase process. Funds are only released once all contractual conditions are met — protecting both buyer and seller throughout the transaction.
Does the investment need to be committed before filing?
+
Yes. USCIS requires your investment to be "irrevocably committed" — meaning fully deployed or placed at risk — at the time of filing. Funds must be traceable from a lawful source. We guide you through structuring this commitment correctly from the start.
