The Type of Business Is Crucial to Determine Whether an E-2 Investment Is Substantial

Johann had built several successful companies in Bavaria and came from a family of entrepreneurs. Johann liked the tech industry and it was natural for him to pursue a venture in the Silicon Valley. Johann wanted to remain in the United States so long as he was directing his company, but he did not want to remain if he sold it or if it failed. He wanted to come strictly for business. Johann also did not want US permanent residence or citizenship because of the potential tax consequences when he would later liquidate assets in Europe that had accrued large capital gains.

A German investor wanted a visa that achieved his goals, but wouldn't break the bank. We delivered.

Investors have a lot of visa options from EB-5 to L-1 and E-2. Choosing the right visa and entity type requires experience and careful thinking on investment size, the investor's ultimate immigration goals, venture financing, and tax considerations
