How to Apply for an E-2 Investor Visa From Chandigarh, India

The E-2 Investor Visa is a powerful option for foreign nationals from treaty countries who wish to invest in and run a business in the United States. At Sundlas Immigration and Law Firm, we specialize in assisting entrepreneurs, investors, and startup founders from Chandigarh and across India through every step of this process.

Step 1: Qualify Under a Treaty Country

The E-2 visa is only available to citizens of countries that maintain a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. First, we help verify your eligibility and nationality. Our firm has experience dealing with dual citizenship scenarios and complex cases.

Step 2: Investment Structuring

You must make a substantial investment in a real operating business in the U.S. This can be a startup, franchise, or an existing business. At Sundlas Immigration and Law Firm, we help structure your investment to meet USCIS criteria, ensuring it is not marginal and is at risk in the commercial sense.

Step 3: Business Plan Development

A USCIS-compliant business plan is key to your application’s success. Our legal and business consulting teams craft detailed 5-year business plans including market research, job creation strategy, revenue projections, and organizational charts tailored for E-2 visa approval.

Step 4: Company Formation & Legal Compliance

We assist you in setting up a U.S. business entity (LLC or corporation), obtaining a federal EIN, opening a business bank account, leasing business premises, and ensuring all regulatory compliance. We make sure the business is real and active—one of the core requirements for E-2 eligibility.

Step 5: Document Preparation

Our firm helps you compile and organize all necessary documents:

  • Proof of nationality

  • Investment evidence (wire transfers, purchase contracts, invoices)

  • Business registration and licenses

  • 5-year business plan

  • Lease agreement or proof of physical business location

  • Organizational chart and staffing plan

Step 6: Visa Application Filing

We prepare and submit Form DS-160 and all accompanying documentation to the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate. We handle correspondence, scheduling, and any follow-ups with the consular office.

Step 7: Interview Preparation

Our E-2 visa consultants in Chandigarh offer personalized mock interviews to help you prepare for the consular interview. We focus on business knowledge, investment sources, and plans for job creation—questions likely to be asked by U.S. officers.

Step 8: Post-Visa Services

Once your E-2 visa is approved, we support you with post-arrival compliance, business launch, visa renewals, spouse and children (E-2 dependent) applications, and change of status (if in the U.S.).

The E-2 visa is valid for up to 5 years (depending on your country) and can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business remains operational. Let Sundlas Immigration and Law Firm be your trusted partner from idea to U.S. business reality.
