E-2 Visa Approved for Investor Operating Grocery Store in the United States

We are pleased to share that an E-2 investor application for a specialty grocery store and restaurant has been approved by USCIS. The investor was granted two years of E-2 status, allowing continued operation and development of the business. This approval reflects the strength of both the enterprise and the investor’s long term commitment to job creation and economic contribution in the local community.

The applicant has previously extended their status several times, and this latest approval confirms that the business continues to meet all E-2 visa requirements. E-2 investor status can be renewed indefinitely as long as the qualifying business remains active, profitable, and compliant with E-2 criteria. The success of this case highlights the viability of specialty retail and food service ventures for E-2 approval when supported by strong documentation and a credible business plan.

If you are considering an E-2 visa or want to learn more about investment based immigration options, we encourage you to explore our free immigration guides and sign up for one of our upcoming webinars. To discuss your case directly with an attorney, you can also schedule a consultation.
