The E-2 Visa allows foreign investors to lives and work in the United States while operating a business and it has been one of the most popular options for all type of entrepreneurs, start ups and business owners whether it's a small, medium or big business. A common question is whether the Trump with its changes in immigration, could affect the E-2 visas. The answer is "NO" based on past experiences and current events. The Trump Administration is against the illegal immigration and those undocumented migrants who have been living "normally" for many years in this country. However, this administration loves everything related to existing or new business.
During the first Trump administration, E-2 visa approval rates remained relatively stable exceeding over 80% or more indicating minimal impact on the likelihood of approval for most applicants. Current rates are even higher closer to 90%.
Unlike other visa categories that faced increased scrutiny or declining approval rates, E-2 visas retained a high success rate. Applicants should focus on presenting a well-documented case that highlights the economic contribution in the United States if their investment as well as demonstrating job creation and the ability of the business to sustain itself is critical.
