I’m not a US citizen or LPR. How can I start a business in the US?

The E2 non-immigrant visa allows entrepreneurs who are not US citizens or LPRs to own and operate a business in the US. The entrepreneur must be a citizen of a country that has a qualifying trade treaty with the US. There is an application process that includes an electronic visa application, supporting documentation, and an in-person interview. The process can be intimidating for those who don’t understand the requirements. The founder of Lawsorio Consulting spent over six years as an E1 & E2 visa analyst for the US Consulate in Toronto—the only location in Canada that processes first time and renewal E1 & E2 visa applications—honing his skills. As a result, Lawsorio Consulting is in a unique position to help you reach your dream of business ownership in the US. Contact us at [email protected] to schedule a consultation.
