Our client, a successful manufacturing company based in Canada, approached our firm with the ambition of expanding their operations to the U.S. market. Driven by growing demand, the client sought to establish a U.S. subsidiary to better serve their customers and tap into new opportunities.
The Journey Begins
To start this exciting venture, the client formed a new company in the U.S. and made a substantial initial investment. This investment covered essential startup costs such as office rent, equipment, professional service fees, payroll, and other miscellaneous business expenses.
Navigating the E-2 Visa Process
With the groundwork laid, our firm prepared and submitted an E-2 visa application to the U.S. consulate in Toronto. The application showcased the client’s detailed business plan, highlighting their long-term goals of generating significant revenue and creating job opportunities for U.S. workers.
Successful Visa Issuance
The client attended an in-person visa interview at the U.S. consulate and was granted a five-year E-2 visa. This significant achievement allowed the client to commence their business operations in the U.S. and register their U.S. company as an E visa business in the Canada E visa program.
Supporting Executive Team
Building on this success, we assisted several members of the client’s executive team in Canada to obtain their own five-year E-2 visas. These visas enabled the executives to enter the U.S. and contribute to the expansion and development of the new U.S. subsidiary.
This successful E-2 visa application process not only facilitated the client’s business expansion into the U.S. but also allowed for the strategic mobilization of their executive team.
