<p>Comment: E2 Investment Visa<br>
<ul>
<li>
What: Many EB5 project sponsors are considering coming to market with
E2 offerings, some E2 projects are in fact already in the market
seeking foreign investors
</li>
<li>
Why: E2 visas have significant advantages over EB5: (1) E2 investments
do not pose any restrictions on location through TEAs , an E2
investment can be literally anywhere in USA (2) much less waiting time
to receive E2 visas as compared to EB5, so investors get “instant
gratification” to live and work in the USA with work authorization for
both principal investors and their families (3) much lower level of
investment is required to secure the E2 visa, so the market of
prospective investors is considerably larger
</li>
<li>
How: To do E2s: project sponsors need two professionals: (a) an
experienced immigration attorney familiar with E2s, and (b) an
experienced corporate attorney with ability to slice and dice a
business venture into “E2able parts”. Just a handful of attorneys have
serious experience with E2s, and we are in touch with a couple of
these, so should you need a referral to attorneys under (a) and/or (b),
we are happy to make a courtesy introduction (please bear in mind that
we receive no fees or kickbacks for the referrals, all we get is good
will).
</li>
<li>
A Request: We are compiling a database of E2 projects. If you can email
us us names and/or links of any E2 projects you know about, we would be
most appreciative. Thanks in advance!
