E2 Visa Lawyer: 4 Important Tasks Your E2 Visa Lawyer Should Perform

E2 Visa Lawyer

 

If you are interested in applying for an E2 visa, you will most likely retain an immigration lawyer to represent you throughout the visa process.

 

In this guide, I’ll explain some of the important tasks your immigration lawyer will perform throughout the E2 visa process.

 

If you have any questions, or if you need help with your E2 visa, feel free to email me directly at contact@ashoorilaw.com. I’m highly responsive via email and I’d be happy to help you.

 

1. Your E2 Visa Lawyer Should Strategize Your Source of Funds

 

As an E2 visa applicant, one of the main requirements to get your E2 visa approved is the source of funds requirement. You must show that your investment funds were obtained lawfully. Examples of lawful sources of funds include employment earnings and proceeds from the sale of a property.

 

To satisfy this requirement, it is highly important to have documentation clearly demonstrating how the funds were earned.

 

Your E2 visa lawyer should analyze all of your income sources for the last several years to determine the best approach to take. Often times, the best approach will depend on which income sources are the easiest to document and trace.

 

2. Your E2 Visa Lawyer Should Review Your Business Plan

 

Another highly important role for your E2 visa lawyer is to review your E2 business plan.

 

To qualify for an E2 visa, there are 2 important requirements regarding your business:

 

  • You must invest in an active, for-profit business.

 

  • Your business cannot be a marginal enterprise. A marginal enterprise is a business that only generates enough income to provide a minimal living for the E2 investor and their family.

 

The business plan is one of the main pieces of evidence to show that you comply with the 2 requirements listed above.

 

Your E2 visa lawyer should carefully review your business plan to make sure that the business type, financial projections, and other pertinent information satisfy the visa requirements.

 

3. Your E2 Visa Lawyer Should Specify a List of Documents for You to Provide to Them

 

No two E2 visa cases are exactly the same. Your E2 visa lawyer should consult with you to understand the details of your particular case. Your lawyer should then request specific documents from you based on your case.

 

Your lawyer should then be in communication with you throughout the document collection process to advise you if you’re missing anything and to let you know if your application is lacking in any particular area. If so, your lawyer should suggest ways to improve your case before filing.

 

4. Your E2 Visa Lawyer Should Summarize Your E2 Petition

 

By the time your application for an E2 visa is ready to file, there will be hundreds of pages of documentation and other evidence submitted to show that your case is approvable.

 

Your E2 immigration lawyer should prepare a cover letter simplifying all of the evidence. The letter should clearly summarize your case so that the immigration official reviewing your case can easily understand who you are, what type of business you’re investing in, where the money is coming from, how much you’ve already invested, and the other important points.

 

The purpose of your lawyer’s cover letter is to simplify and explain hundreds of pages in just a few pages.

 

Conclusion

 

Please note that this is not a complete list of the tasks your immigration lawyer will perform throughout the E2 visa process. This article is intended to provide a glimpse of some of the tasks your E2 immigration lawyer should perform.

If anyone has any hesitation with going with Michael Ashoori's law firm for their immigration papers, have no fear truly!. My wife and I was looking for firms that can assist us and within our budget and I do NOT regret going through them at all. All their staff are very kind, patient, and really takes the time to walk you through all you doubts. Pricing with them to me was really straight forward and inexpensive (too me! may be different for everyone else base on your case and etc). Their finance department was also really kind, and broke down bit by bit what every thing is and they assist in monthly payments (which was for ME in large some, AGAIN! it maybe different for everyone else). Michael thank you and thank you for your amazing legal team, I would recommend anyone to your firm with no hesitation. Keep the amazing work all of you.

Rollercoaster of emotions!!!

Working with Ashoori Law on our EB1A visa application has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Immigration processes are often stressful and overwhelming, but their team made the entire journey smooth, transparent, and successful. On our first application we got NOID, but we never gave up and neither Ashoori (Michael) and our designated lawyer for the case (Shruti). After we applied the second time with PP in 10 days we got approved in an instant and that speaks volumes about the professionalism of the team involved in working your EB1A case.

From our very first consultation, it was clear that Ashoori Law has deep expertise in EB1A petitions and experience. They took the time to carefully evaluate our background, understand our professional accomplishments, and design a strong legal strategy tailored to our case.

Throughout the process, the team maintained excellent communication. Every question we had was answered promptly, clearly, and with genuine patience. They guided us step by step, providing detailed instructions for gathering evidence, preparing recommendation letters, and organizing supporting documents. Their attention to detail was remarkable—they anticipated potential issues before they arose and ensured our petition was as strong as possible.

We wholeheartedly recommend Ashoori Law to anyone considering an EB1A or any immigration path. They are not only highly skilled attorneys but also genuinely invested in their clients’ success. Choosing them was the best decision we made for our immigration journey.
