Monday, November 25, 2019 – Edward Beshara, of Beshara Global Migration Law Firm, visited FirstPathway Partners and provided his insight on the E-2 visa process. For most, E-2 offers faster entry into the U.S., especially for immigrant investors awaiting EB-5 approval.
“I have represented E-2 investors for 35 years. E-2 is a quick entry option that allows investors to stay in the U.S. while waiting for EB-5 approval (if so desired). Today, there is irrevocable commitment of investment before E-2 Visa application files, agreements to purchase an existing business, or commit to vendors (new businesses). E-2 Investors can within a few months, enter the U.S. with spouse and minor children to live and work in the U.S. but an E-2 country citizenship is necessary a first step.” - Beshara
