At Berardi Immigration Law, we recently helped a client achieve their goal of opening a software company in the U.S. focused on the electric vehicle industry. See the way we helped make this an E-2 Visa success story.
The Plan
Our client, an entrepreneur from Canada, came to us with the idea of starting a software company in the U.S. that would develop solutions for the electric vehicle market. They had a solid plan and were eager to get started.
The Investment
To set up the business, the client formed a U.S. company and made an initial investment that included:
- Research and development costs
- Marketing expenses
- Office and general expenses
- Legal and accounting fees
- Payroll expenses
- Office rent
- Travel expenses
The E-2 Visa Application
We prepared and submitted an E-2 visa application to the U.S. consulate in Toronto. The application detailed the client’s business plan and their goals of generating revenue and hiring U.S. workers.
The Result
The client attended an in-person visa interview at the U.S. consulate and was granted a five-year E-2 visa. The U.S. company was also registered as an E visa business in the Canada E visa program, allowing it to sponsor additional Canadian citizens for E-2 visas.
Conclusion
This success story demonstrates the importance of thorough preparation and a clear business plan in securing an E-2 visa.
