It may be possible to use a foreign entity’s assets as part of the investment to a new E-2 entity by first transferring it to the investor as a dividend distribution or shareholder loan.
Although working capital can form part of your E-2 investment, it is risky if insufficient funds are actually spent in exchange for tangible goods and services.
“investment” for E-2 applications refer to money actually spent, in support of an active enterprise that will hire employees, and has a flexible minimum requirement.
To qualify for an E-2 visa you must invest a substantial amount in the U.S. The investment amount depends on the type of business that you are setting up.
