E-Visa: Business Profile

33 responses

The U.S. Enterprise

This whole section is about the business in the United States that your E visa is based on: the company you have invested in (E-2) or that carries on the trade (E-1). Give its full legal name as registered in the U.S., not the name of your employer or parent company abroad.

Type of Business Enterprise

Corporation covers incorporated companies, including LLCs. Choose Subsidiary if the U.S. business is owned by a company abroad, and Branch/Liaison Office if it is an office of the foreign company itself rather than a separate U.S. company. Privately Owned is a sole proprietorship. Joint Venture is a business owned jointly by two or more companies.

Date Established or Incorporated

The date on the certificate of incorporation, articles of organization or business registration in the United States. For a branch office, use the date it registered to do business in the state.

A restaurant is Retail Sales and Services; a company shipping goods between the U.S. and your country is Exports from U.S. and/or Imports to U.S.; a consultancy or software firm is Services/Technology. If none fit, answer Yes to Other and describe it. At least one must be Yes.

Description of the Business

A few sentences on what the business sells or does, who its customers are and how it operates day to day. The consular officer uses this to confirm the enterprise is real and active, so be specific: products, services, location, number of staff.

E-Visa: Foreign Parent Business

27 responses

Foreign Parent Business

A parent business is a company outside the United States that owns the U.S. enterprise, usually a majority of it. If you own the U.S. business personally, or together with other individuals rather than through a company, answer No.

Companies, partnerships or other organisations outside the United States that own part of the U.S. business. List each one with its share. People who own part of the business go in the next question, not here.

Are There Any Foreign Entities (Corporation, Partnership, etc.) Associated with the U.S. Business?required
Foreign Entities

Percent of Ownership

The share of the U.S. business this entity holds, as a number from 0 to 100. For an E visa, nationals of your treaty country must together own at least 50 percent of the business.

Foreign Individual Owners

People, not companies, who own part of the U.S. business and are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. If you are the investor or trader, include yourself. Together, the owners you list here and the entities above should account for the whole business.

Are There Any Foreign Individual Owners of the U.S. Business?required
Foreign Individual Owners

U.S. Immigration Status

This owner's current status in the United States, if any: the visa class they hold (for example E2, L1 or B1B2), LPR for a green card holder, or NONE if they have no U.S. status.

E-Visa: Investment

26 responses

Type of Investment

Choose how the investment was made. Creation of a New Business means you started the business yourself; you will be asked what it cost to set up. Purchase of an Existing Business means you bought a business that already existed; you will be asked the purchase price. Continuation of an Existing Business means the business you invested in is carrying on, for example when renewing an E visa; you will be asked its current fair market value. Choose Does Not Apply only if you are an employee of the enterprise rather than an investor.

Investment from Abroad

Money and assets brought into the United States from outside the country to fund the business in the most recent year, split by what they paid for. Initial Investment is the amount put in when the business was set up or bought; Total Cumulative Investment is everything invested to date, including that initial amount. Answer No only if no funds came from abroad.

Was Any Investment Made in the United States from Abroad in the Most Recent Year?required

Investment amounts

All amounts in whole U.S. dollars. The DS-160 requires every box to be filled in, so enter 0 where there was no investment of that kind.

Total Investment from Abroad Made in the United States for the Most Recent Year
Cash
Inventory
Equipment
Premises
Other

Source of Investment Capital

Where the invested money came from, and the evidence that it is yours and has been committed to the business. Consular officers expect an E-2 investor to be able to show this, so answer Yes and describe your documentation unless you are an employee of the enterprise rather than an investor.

Can You Document the Source of the Investment Capital and Possession and Control of the Funds in the United States?required
Source of Investment Capital

Source of Investment

Personal Funds are your own savings or the proceeds of selling property. Corporate Funds come from a company, typically the foreign parent. Loans are borrowed money; for an E-2 the loan must be secured on your own assets, not on the U.S. business. Choose Other for inheritances, gifts or a mix, and explain.

Where the Funds Are From

The country the money was in before it was invested. Treaty Country is the country whose nationality qualifies you for the E visa. Domestic means the funds were already in the United States. Third Countries means anywhere else.

Documentation

The evidence you will bring to the interview showing the money reached the U.S. business: wire transfer records, bank statements of the business and of yourself, or a promissory note for a loan. Answer Yes to each kind you have; at least one is required.

U.S. Personnel Head Count

This page counts everyone the U.S. business employs, for the current year and your best estimate for next year. Say first whether your counts follow the company's fiscal year or the calendar year. The staff are then split by nationality into three groups, and within each group by role: Managerial/Executive for directors and managers, Specialized/Essential for staff with skills essential to the business, and All Other Employees for the rest. Every box needs a number, so enter 0 where there is nobody.

Nationals of the Treaty Country

Employees who share your treaty nationality and work in the United States on an E, H or L visa. Include yourself if you already work at the U.S. business on one of those visas.

Nationals of the Treaty Country on E, H and L Visas

All Other Employees

Managerial/Executive
Specialized/Essential
