What makes Aga truly exceptional is how much she cares. She listens, gives honest advice, and always puts your best interests first. Thanks to her, I’m now a U.S. permanent resident and building my business here with peace of mind. If you want a brilliant, down-to-earth immigration lawyer—Aga is the one.
Veawdao Napapornpipat
E-2 Treaty Investor Visa & EB-2 National Interest Waiver Client
I hired Aga Asbury to handle multiple E-2 visa petitions, including the initial petition and later the extensions, for me and my family. After purchasing a U.S.-based business, I needed an attorney to guide me through my options. From the start, Aga was professional, thorough, and helpful. She conducted a detailed interview, explained why the E-2 was the best fit, walked me through the process, and provided clear instructions. She made everything understandable and easy, showing genuine care for achieving a positive outcome.
I was so impressed with her work that I returned to her for our E-2 extensions. Aga’s professionalism, expertise, and dedication were outstanding throughout. Working with her was a pleasure, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing immigration services. I’m truly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to seek her help again.

Aga made my E-2 visa process smooth and stress-free. She was incredibly organized, professional, and always available to answer my questions. Unlike other lawyers who request documents piecemeal, she had everything mapped out from the start. She prepared me thoroughly for the consular interview, and I felt confident going in. I’ve already referred several friends and family members to her because of the overwhelmingly positive experience I had. Highly recommend her services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a green card through my E-2 business?
It depends. In certain cases, an E-2 visa holder can apply for a green card through the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) – if they meet the specific eligibility criteria. This is a popular path for E-2 investors and entrepreneurs who want to transition from a temporary visa to permanent residency without employer sponsorship. We specialize in these cases – contact us for your E-2 business-based green card evaluation.
What is an E-2 visa?
The E-2 visa allows individuals from certain treaty countries to enter the U.S. to develop and direct a business in which they have made (or are actively in the process of making) a substantial investment. It is ideal for startup founders, small business owners, and even experienced investors looking to expand into the U.S. market.
What are the key requirements for an E-2 visa?
- You must be a citizen of a country that has a treaty of commerce and navigation with the U.S.,
- You must make a substantial investment in a real, operating U.S. business,
- You must own at least 50% of the business,
- The business must be more than marginal – it should have the capacity to create jobs or generate significant income.
What types of businesses qualify for E-2 visas?
Almost any legitimate business can qualify for an E-2 visa, including retail, restaurants, services, manufacturing, and consulting. The key factors are demonstrating a qualifying investment and business viability.
Can you guarantee my E-2 visa will be approved?
We cannot guarantee immigration outcomes. But we can promise thorough preparation and guidance to give your case the strongest possible chance of success.
How much investment is required for an E-2 visa?
While there’s no fixed minimum, investments typically range from $80,000 to $250,000, depending on the business type. During our consultation, we’ll discuss appropriate investment levels for your specific business concept.
What if my investment amount seems lower than typical E-2 applications?
Investment requirements vary by business type. We carefully assess each case and only accept those where we believe the investment demonstrates both commitment and business sustainability for E-2 qualification.
How do I know if I should pursue an E-2 visa versus other business visa options?
Our initial consultation helps determine which visa category best aligns with your business goals, nationality, investment capacity, and timeline.
Can I renew an E-2 visa?
The E-2 visa can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business continues to meet the requirements, making it a flexible and practical choice for long-term business growth in the U.S.
