Directing and Developing
E-2 visa · Reinvent NY glossary
The E-2 investor must play an active role in directing and developing the business. USCIS requires the investor to hold a controlling interest (typically 50%+ ownership) or demonstrate operational control through a managerial position. Passive investors who simply contribute capital without involvement in day-to-day operations do not qualify. Evidence includes organizational charts showing the investor's role, meeting minutes, signed contracts, and business correspondence demonstrating active management.
