We advised the client to apply under their French citizenship, coordinating with Egyptian authorities to avoid complications. Our guidance helped them navigate dual citizenship challenges and successfully obtain their E2 visa.
A Mexican investor wanted to open a franchise restaurant but encountered compliance issues with E2 visa business requirements , as U.S. authorities questioned their level of control over the business.

An Australian entrepreneur struggled to meet the “marginality” requirement, which mandates that the business generates more than just a living income.
