Scott Legal, P.C. has secured another E-2 visa approval—this time at the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, Canada. Our client, a national of Australia, successfully transitioned from working in the U.S. under an E-3 visa to launching their own business and qualifying for an E-2 investor visa.
The business is a fully operational online retail store, reflecting the growing trend of e-commerce ventures forming the basis for viable E-2 businesses. The investor committed over $75,000 to start and grow the business, clearly demonstrating their substantial investment and active involvement in developing and directing the enterprise. This case highlights the flexibility of the E-2 visa program and how it can support entrepreneurs not only in traditional brick-and-mortar ventures but also in modern, digital-first businesses. It also demonstrates how a change of status or visa category can be strategically planned to meet both immigration and business goals.
