E-2 Investors Bring Business & Economic Growth to the United States

Os investidores do E-2 são estrangeiros ou empresas de países com os quais os Estados Unidos têm tratados comerciais, vindo para os EUA para dirigir uma empresa nova ou existente na qual investiram, ou estão a investir, uma quantidade substancial de capital (compatível com o tipo de negócio). Se comprar um negócio existente, o estrangeiro ou empresa estrangeira deve ter o controle acionário. Também é elegível para o status E-2 uma pessoa empregada por um investidor ou empresa de tratado em uma posição executiva, ou em uma capacidade especial se o empregado tiver qualificações especiais que tornam os serviços essenciais para a operação da empresa. O investidor ou empregador deve ser uma pessoa com a nacionalidade do país do tratado, cuja prova suficiente é um passaporte concedido por esse país.

Os fundos ou activos investidos devem ser directamente atribuídos ao investidor. São necessárias provas documentais sobre a origem dos fundos. Note que um investimento conota a colocação de fundos em risco. Como tal, um investimento passivo, como uma casa ou um imóvel, não pode ser qualificado como um investimento de tratado E-2 porque não requer direção e controle, e meramente (espera-se) aprecia em valor. O investidor também deve provar que tem outras fontes de receita para sustentá-lo e à sua família enquanto o investimento é consolidado.

Depois de devidamente preparados, o pedido e os documentos de apoio são apresentados à Secção Consular Americana apropriada. Quando aprovado, o visto é emitido no passaporte do requerente (assim como de qualquer membro da família). Um Visto de Investidor E-2 pode durar virtualmente indefinidamente enquanto o investimento for mantido e o negócio não for "marginal". Além disso, alguns investimentos do E-2 podem ser estruturados para que um investidor e sua família possam buscar um EB-5 visto de investimento.

Os membros da família são elegíveis para o visto E

Os familiares do titular do visto E estão autorizados a entrar nos Estados Unidos com o visto. Estão incluídos nesta categoria o cônjuge do titular do visto, bem como os filhos menores solteiros com menos de 21 anos de idade. Uma vez que os filhos atinjam a idade de 21 anos ou se casem, eles não têm mais o direito de permanecer nos Estados Unidos com o status de tratado.Each membro da família precisa de um pedido de visto separado apresentado em conjunto com o do requerente principal "E".

Documentação necessária para o visto E

Procurar um investimento E-2 requer muitas formas de documentação, tais como um plano de negócios devidamente estruturado, fonte legal de fundos, prova de investimento ativo, e muito mais, que nosso escritório de advocacia tem o prazer de orientá-lo, bem como ajudá-lo na organização ou preparação.
