E-2 visa · Reinvent NY glossary
The E-2 visa requires a 'substantial' investment, meaning enough capital to ensure the business can operate successfully. USCIS uses the proportionality test: for a $100,000 business, investing 80-90% ($80,000-$90,000) is typical, while for a $500,000 business, 50-60% may suffice. The investment must be 'at risk' — meaning funds placed in escrow or refundable deposits do not qualify. Common investments include restaurant franchises ($150,000-$300,000), retail businesses, consulting firms, and tech startups.
