Course Description
The U.S. E-2 Treaty Investor Visa is a nonimmigrant route for qualifying nationals of treaty countries who invest substantial capital in a real and operating U.S. enterprise and seek to develop and direct that enterprise. Treaty-country eligibility is a fundamental requirement. This training provides practical knowledge of treaty-country nationality, substantial investment analysis, source and path of funds, enterprise structure, business viability, marginality, ownership and operational control, and supporting documentation. The course is designed for immigration consultants, business immigration professionals, investment advisers, visa filing professionals and caseworkers handling E-2 investor cases. Through World Visa Academy’s structured training, learners develop skills to assess investor profiles, organise business and financial evidence, structure case documentation and understand consular or USCIS procedures. The course focuses on professional case preparation without guaranteeing visa approval, business success, employment or permanent residence.
Course Curriculum
What You'll Learn
A structured path from fundamentals to real application
Module 1
E-2 Treaty Investor Visa Framework
Understand the legal structure and purpose of the E-2 nonimmigrant investor category. Learn how treaty-country nationality, qualifying enterprise ownership, substantial investment and the requirement to develop and direct the business fit together in an E-2 case.
Module 2
Treaty Nationality & Investor Eligibility Assessment
Develop a structured method for checking whether an investor and the U.S. enterprise meet nationality requirements. Learn to assess ownership, controlling interest, qualifying treaty-country nationality and principal investor versus qualifying E-2 employee scenarios.
Module 3
Investment Structure, Source & Path of Funds
Learn how to analyse whether capital has been sufficiently committed to the enterprise and how to document the source and path of investment funds. Review purchase agreements, business expenses, bank records, capital contributions, ownership evidence and other financial documentation used to demonstrate the investment.
Module 4
Business Plan, Marginality & Enterprise Viability
Master the preparation and review of an E-2 business plan, including business model, market positioning, operating structure, financial projections, staffing strategy and economic contribution. Learn how the marginal-enterprise concept affects case assessment and why the business must be more than merely providing a minimal living for the investor and family.
Module 5
E-2 Application, Consular & USCIS Procedures
Understand the application pathways and documentation requirements for E-2 cases, including DS-160 and applicable E-2 documentation, consular processing and relevant USCIS procedures for eligible applicants already in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
The course covers treaty-country eligibility, investor qualification, substantial investment, source and path of funds, enterprise ownership, business plans, marginality, application procedures and ongoing compliance. World Visa Academy focuses on practical case assessment and documentation strategy so immigration professionals can structure E-2 investor files systematically and identify weaknesses before submission.
The principal applicant must generally be a national of a country with an applicable treaty or qualifying arrangement with the United States. The applicant must invest substantial capital in a real and operating U.S. commercial enterprise and seek to develop and direct it. Treaty-country eligibility must be verified against the current official list before assessing the investment case.
E-2 documentation varies according to the investor and enterprise. Common evidence can include ownership and organisational records, investment and transaction documents, bank records, evidence tracing the source and path of funds, leases, equipment or inventory records, business expenses, financial statements and a detailed business plan. Consular posts or USCIS may request additional evidence.
U.S. rules do not prescribe one universal minimum investment amount for E-2 classification. The investment must be substantial in relation to the cost of establishing or purchasing the particular enterprise, sufficiently committed to the business and capable of supporting its successful operation. The enterprise must also be real and operating rather than a passive or purely speculative investment.
The course is suitable for immigration consultants, business immigration professionals, investment advisers, visa filing professionals and caseworkers handling U.S. investor cases. It is particularly useful for professionals who want to develop skills in investor screening, business-plan review, financial-document analysis, source-of-funds assessment and E-2 application preparation without promising visa approval or business success.
