E-2 Visa Lawyers Serving New York City
Our E-2 visa lawyers in New York City help foreign investors start, acquire, and operate U.S. businesses under the E-2 treaty investor visa program.
E-2: An Inter-Disciplinary Approach
A successful approach to an E-2 visa involves more than an immigration application. It is a combination of business considerations as well as navigating the immigration laws of the United States. Because an E-2 visa can generally be extended for as long as the underlying business is operational, your immigration status in the U.S. is tied to operational success.
Your Partners to Success in New York and Beyond
Davies & Associates advises entrepreneurs around the world on structuring qualifying investments, preparing E-2 visa petitions, and handling both consular filings and change of status applications. We have been privilged to assist many of our New York based clients to grow their businesses across the United States.

New York Business Incentives for E-2 Investors
New York State and New York City offer a notably strong range of business support programs for companies establishing and growing operations in the United States. Many foreign-owned businesses are unaware that assistance may be available beyond licensing and registration, including financing, hiring support, training assistance, and advisory resources.
Immigration Benefits of Government Assistance
While these benefits do not count as “investment” for E-2 visa purposes they can be very valuable in evidencing government “partnership” with a bona fide business. Evidence such as support from government agencies and participation in recognized business programs may help reinforce that an enterprise is real, operating, and positioned for growth.
Financing and Funding Support
Examples of available assistance include the NYC Future Fund, which offers flexible revenue based financing for qualifying small businesses, and New York City Financing Assistance services, which help businesses understand and apply for loans, grants, and other funding opportunities.
Hiring and Training Support
Businesses may also be able to access support connected to hiring and workforce development. New York City programs include recruitment assistance and training support designed to help companies scale their teams efficiently.
Advisory and Technical Assistance
New York State’s SSBCI Technical Assistance Program provides free legal, accounting, and financial support to eligible businesses seeking capital. This type of advisory support can be particularly valuable for foreign investors navigating the U.S. market for the first time.
Additional State Programs and Incentives
In some cases, businesses may also benefit from state lending programs such as the Small Business Revolving Loan Fund Round 2. These are only examples of the types of assistance that may be available, and additional programs may apply depending on the business’s industry, location, size, and eligibility.
Obtaining E-2 Status in New York verus
E-2 Visa Consular Processing Abroad
There are two ways to be in New York in E-2 status:(1) To apply to "change status" in the U.S.; or
(2) To obtain an E-2 visa in a U.S. consulate abroad and use it to re-enter the United States.
1. Change of Status from within the US
Clients looking for a business in New York usually want to see the business before they purchase it. It is possible to travel to the United States on a B1 business visa for this purpose.
Clients present in the US on a B1 business or other non-immigrant visa may then later decide to remain in the U.S. and may be able to “change status” to E2 status from within the US.
As it is not possible to obtain any visa from within the United States, persons who changed status to E2 status from another visa and subsequently depart the United States will have to obtain an E2 visa from a US consulate abroad in order to return to the United States.
2. Obtaining an E2 Visa outside the US
Those looking to operate a business in New York can obtain an E2 visa by filing an E2 application at the consulate in their home country. D&A’s E2 team in your local country will work with our New York E2 team to assist you with this process.
Why Local Counsel Matters in New York
Davies & Associates is a full-service global law firm focused on immigration and corporate law. Contact Davies & Associates to schedule a consultation with an immigration attorney.
- LicensesUSCIS or the applicable US consulate will expect you to have a properly formed and licensed business in New York. This is a matter of local New York State and city law.
- Publication RequirementNew York has a rule requiring new businesses to be published in a local news paper. It is easier for a local firm to assist with this.
- Local Contracts and Employment Agreements.As part of your E-2 case you will want to submit proof that you are either in business or ready to immediately start business. To do this requires you have have customers and suppiers with proeprly drafted agreements.
- Employment AgreementsEmployment agreements are critical for two reasons:
(1) They document that you have employees for your E-2 visa application;
(2) Employment Agreements protect the business from costly litigation and can prevent employees from leaving with your customer lists and business "secrets"; and
(3) They make it clear that employment is "at will" and can be terminated at eny time (typically with a few weeks' notice). - Connecting to Local Resources>A firm with a local presence can assist you to connect to local resources you will need to operate your business.
- Registering Trademarks and Patents.Many foreign clients forget that in the U.S. is is necessary re-register your trademarks. Doing this prevents another party from "hi-jacking" your brand or using your logos in a way that is inconsistent with your brand. Trademarks are registered Federally so local presence is not relevant.
- National Contracts.Many clients have contracts they use accross the United States. The choice of law for those contracts can be complex and may or may not involve New York considerations.
- Holding Companies and Structures in Other States.Some clients register a business in another state, such as Delaware, and then regster their non-New York business to do business in New York. You might not need a local New York lawyer to structure a businsss involving multiple states.

Case Study:
Growing a European Fashion Brand in New York on an E-2 Visa
Designer cork and fabric shoulder bag designed by Koza, a Davies & Associates New York E‑2 visa client. Our Client's Background and Challenge
Background:
Our client, Koza, is owned by a German-born fashion designer who at the time of the original E-2 case was living in London. The client wanted to temprarily move back to Franfurt and to process her case from the U.S. consulate in Frankfurt.The Challenge:
The client had invested heavily in developing a valuable and recognized brand. Given demand for the client's bags in the New York fashion market and their swimwear in the Miami market, Coza needed to expand into the United States. Coza did not have the cash available to fund a significant expasnion. A question also arose as to the investment required for E-2 visa purposes.The E-2 Value of a Brand: Minimal Cash Investment
Brand Value: $125,000
Value of Inventory: $75,000
Avilable Cash: $30,000
Total E-2 Investment: $230,000
We have assisted a number of E-2 clients where the value of their brand has been a critical component of the E-2 qualifying investment. This case was no different.How Koza Leveraged its Brand as E-2 Investment:
The usual process would be for the European business to license the brand to the US firm or to sell a franchize to the us firm. A license fee is then typically paid by the US business to the European firm. That is, the E-2 applicant invests cash directly into the US business and the US bsiness then use that cash to pay the European firm for the license or franchize. A proper and fair valutaion of the brand must be included.Our lawyers have extensive experience with the fashion industry and rapidly realized the value of Koza's brand. Working with our European Fashion team in Milan we were rapidly able to identify an expert to value Koza's brand.
A the time we had created licensing agreements for a number of clients involving E-2 cases in London that had been accepted as "investment" for E-2 visa purposes but never in Frankfurt.
By investing product inventory and licensing the U.K. brand to the U.S. entity Koza was able to minimize the cash investment in the new New York business.
Cash Irrovocably Commited to Funding the Business but Returnable if the E-2 Failed
The cash that was invested was placed in escrow pending E-2 visa approval to be used in the future to fund the operating needs of the business. Had the visa been refused the escrow account coudl have been closed and the funds returned to the investor.Business Plan Critical
As with any E-2 visa the business plan was critical in this case. Our business plan team co-ordinate with the clients, or NY fashion business lawyers and our E-2 lawyers in Frankfurt.
Our New York Lawyers Built a Real New York Business Model
A successful New York E-2 visa case requires more than available funds. The investor must show that they will direct and develop an active commercial enterprise in the United States.
Our New York team helped create a business model that was realistic, scalable, and compliant with E-2 visa requirements.
A Smaller New York Launch Made the Case More Credible
Rather than proposing a large retail operation from the outset, our lawyers advised the client to launch a small design and brand development studio in New York City.
This matched the actual stage of the business and made the U.S. expansion plan more credible.
The New York Business Had a Clear Commercial Purpose
The New York studio was designed to support core business activities in the U.S. market.
Design and Product Development
The New York office would be used to develop new handbag collections and adapt designs for the American market.
Brand Development
The New York presence gave the client a base for building relationships with buyers, retailers, and industry contacts.
U.S. Growth
The business model showed how the client would expand distribution and visibility in the United States.
Our New York Lawyers Helped Establish the Business Operationally
Our New York E-2 visa attorneys did not stop at the immigration filing. We also helped the client take practical steps to establish the business in New York City.
Business Setup in New York City
We helped the client structure the New York business so it was positioned to begin operating after visa approval.
New York City Licensing Support
Our team also assisted with New York City licensing issues connected with launching the business.
For international founders, immigration and local setup often need to move together. This was an important part of the value our New York lawyers added.
Our New York Lawyers Helped Create a Credible Operating Presence
The case was stronger because the proposed U.S. business was not abstract. It had a real operating model.
Small Design Space in New York
The client took a small design space in New York City to serve as the base for the U.S. side of the brand.
Early Staffing
The client also had one employee assisting with operations.
Why This Helped the E-2 Case
These details showed that the business would have a genuine presence in New York and that the investor would actively direct and develop it.
That is a key part of a strong E-2 visa lawyer New York strategy.
Our New York E-2 Visa Lawyers Worked With Colleagues in London and Germany
This case also showed the advantage of Davies & Associates’ international platform.
The client was a German national living in London, with an established London brand, expanding into New York City, and applying for an E-2 visa in Frankfurt.
That required coordination across multiple jurisdictions.
New York Lawyers Led the U.S. Strategy
Our New York lawyers led the E-2 visa strategy and structured the U.S. business plan.
Because the company was entering the U.S. market through New York City, our local team ensured the business model reflected realistic commercial activity in New York.
London Lawyers Supported the Brand Background
Our London colleagues helped document the client’s established fashion brand and existing business history.
This helped show that the New York expansion was part of a genuine international growth strategy.
Germany Based Support helped With Frankfurt
Because the visa application was processed through the U.S. Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany based support helped coordinate the consular stage of the case.
This helped ensure that the documentation for Frankfurt was clear and well organized.
Our Lawyers Used Escrow to Protect the Client Before Approval
Another important feature of the case was the use of escrow.
No funds were spent before the visa was approved in Frankfurt. Instead, the investment funds were placed in escrow.
Why Escrow Strengthened the Case
Escrow helped show that the funds were committed for E-2 purposes.
At the same time, it protected the client from spending money before a final visa decision.
Why This Matters for E-2 Investors in New York
For many international entrepreneurs launching a business in New York, escrow is a smart way to balance immigration strategy and financial protection.
Funds Were Released After Approval
Once the E-2 visa was approved in Frankfurt, the escrow funds were released for the New York business.
This allowed the client to move ahead with the launch on a protected basis.
Result: E-2 Visa Approved in Frankfurt and New York Business Launched
The E-2 visa was approved in Frankfurt, allowing the client to relocate to the United States and oversee the New York expansion personally.
After approval, the client completed the relevant New York City licensing steps, opened the New York design space, and began operating with the support of one employee.
Why This Case Shows the Value of New York E-2 Visa Lawyers
This case highlights the practical value of working with experienced New York E-2 visa lawyers.
Immigration and Business Setup Were Handled Together
The case was stronger because the immigration filing and the New York business structure were aligned from the beginning.
The New York Business Model Was Credible
The business was structured as a real operating enterprise, not a passive investment.
International Coordination Added Value
The coordination between New York, London, and Germany helped support a stronger and more coherent case.
The Client Entered New York on a Stronger Foundation
By the time the visa was approved, the New York business structure, licensing path, and operating plan were already in place.
What is the Great New York E-2 Visa Property Fraud?
The E-2 Visa property fraud is simply the statement that investments in property in New York do not qualify for E-2 visas. Whether or not an investment in a property business in the New York area qualifies for an E-2 visa depends upon the business:
-
Purely passive investments.
Purely passive investments such as purchasing an apartment do not qualify for E2 visas.
-
Operating Businesses
Operating businesses that sustain employment are likely to qualify for an E2 visa. Examples may include:
- Directing and controlling a large apartment building in New York that has multiple employees.
- Purchasing a portfolio of properties where a full-time employee renovates and maintains those properties which are then placed in the rental market or sold. The more employees such businesses have (such as leasing staff, rental invoicing and collections staff, administrative staff and others) may increase the chance of E-2 visa success.
Choosing an E-2 Immigration Lawyer
Many clients select an E-2 visa lawyer only to have their cases denied. Choosing the right lawyer is critical to your success with your E-2 visa application. Read our guide to selecting an E-2 visa lawyer for key questions when choosing an E-2 visa immigration lawyer in New York.
How Many E-2 Visas does Davies & Associates Handle in New York?
Every day our New York team of E-2 visa lawyers receives inquiries from multiple E-2 visa applicants around the world. We file E-2 visa applications very frequently and receive multiple new E-2 visa inquiries every week of the year. We are one of the most active E-2 visa practices in both New York and the United States.
If Davies & Associates Have Never had an E-2 visa Case they have Filed Denied then How Can they Assist with a Denied Case?
While our firm has never had a case we have prepared denied we are frequently called on to assist clients who have filed their E-2 visa using another law firm and have been denied. With the exception of one case filed by another law firm in Singapore in August 2013 that our firm was unable to successfully appeal we have been successful in getting E-2 visa applications that were initially denied when filed using another law firm approved.
Why are so many E-2 visas Denied?
First, according to U.S. State Dept. data, E-2 visas have an exceptionally high approval rate, often in the low 90 percentiles. Second, if weak appliations filed without the assitance of an immigration lawyer are filtered out then the approval rate is even higher. In our opinion E-2 visa applications do demand a very highly specialized and experienced team of lawyers and business professionals. If you ask a lawyer how many E2 visa petitions they typically file each week of the year you will find that many firms simply do not have deep experience in this area. That may well account for many of the cases that are refused. Asking a lawyer whether they have a team that EXCLUSIVELY handle E-2 or investor visa matters can be educational.

📖 2026 D&A Guide
Why is our Global Reach Important to Clients of our New York office?
While it is possible to file for “change of status” from within the United States E-2 visa applications are always filed in local consulates. Different consulates have different rules for E-2 visa applications, local knowledge an experience with a consulate is essential.
Unfortunately the requirements for E-2 visa applications vary at every US consulate. Fortunately, our team has a comprehensive global network. Through our global network we maintain up-to-date information on the latest procedures and regulations at US consulates around the world.
Why does Davies & Associates have an Industry Leading E-2 Visa Success Rate?
What our Clients Say
“Another law firm told me that it was not possible for me to obtain an E-2 visa. Davies & Associates obtained a five year E-2 visa for me.”
Typically immigration lawyers are trained in small firms and often have no business experience. Often immigration lawyers “grow up” filing family-based immigration petitions.
Davies & Associates lawyers graduated from the very top US law schools and most were initially trained as business lawyers in the 10 largest law firms in the world. Many of our lawyers also hold MBA degrees from the world’s top business schools, including the Wharton School of Business.
No other immigration firm we are aware of offers this level of experience and training.
We believe the outstanding quality of our lawyers is directly responsible for ourindustry-leading E-2 visa approval rate.
Where do Davies & Associates E-2 Visa Clients come from?
Our clients come from every continent, except Antarctica. We frequently file cases for clients from across Europe, Australia, the Middle East (including Egypt), South America and Asia.
What is the State Department Reciprocity Problem?
Consular officers are guided by nationality-based US State Department guidelines as to the maximum validity of each E-2 visa they issue. The range of the maximum validity is from three (3) to sixty (60) months.
Davies & Associates are relied-on by other US immigration law firms for our guidance as to how to deal with E-2 visa issuance for nationalities where the guidelines lead consular officers to issue an E-2 visa with a very limited period of validity.
Why Do Davies & Associates have Lawyers admitted in multiple international jurisdictions on their E-2 Visa team?
For many nationalities the ability to obtain a US visa depends on issues of foreign law. For example, E-2 visa applicants are required to prove that their funds were lawfully earned in a foreign country. Our firm includes non-US lawyers who assist clients with making lawful transfers of funds and obtaining written opinions on issues of foreign law that are necessary for an E-2 visa application.
Every week of the year Davies & Associates lawyers provide clients with advice as to how to lawfully transmit funds from non-US jurisdictions to finance their US businesses.
Why do Davies & Associates open Escrow Accounts for E-2 Visa Clients?
The law requires that your funds be “irrevocably” invested in the US business.Unfortunately as funds in a business checking account can easily be withdrawn they do not qualify as being “irrevocably invested” in the US business. For a new or smaller business it can be challenging to irrevocably invest the sums required.
Our firm commonly solves this problem by opening an escrow account for clients under the terms of which the funds can only be:
(1) withdrawn for legitimate business purposes; or
(2) refunded to the client in the event that their E-2 visa application is denied. By holding the E-2 visa funds in this way they are deemed to be “irrevocably” invested in the business and can be used for any legitimate business expense.
* Currently our firm does not have a location in Singapore but our E-2 visa lawyers frequently travel to Singapore and are experienced in filing E-2 visa applications in the US consulate in Singapore.

📖 2026 D&A Guide
What does a New York E-2 visa lawyer actually do?
A New York E-2 visa lawyer typically assists investors with several parts of the process, including:
- Structuring the U.S. business entity
- Preparing the E-2 visa petition
- Developing a compliant E-2 business plan
- Coordinating escrow arrangements for investment funds
- Advising on New York business licensing and setup
- Preparing documentation for the relevant U.S. consulate
At Davies & Associates, our New York team works closely with our international offices to coordinate both U.S. business strategy and the visa application process.
Can a New York E-2 lawyer help me start a business in the United States?
Yes. Many E-2 investors are entrepreneurs launching a new U.S. business, and immigration strategy must often be aligned with the actual commercial structure of the company.
New York E-2 visa lawyers often assist with:
- Structuring the U.S. company
- Preparing the investment structure
- Coordinating with business plan writers
- Working with corporate lawyers or accountants
- Helping ensure the proposed business is viable for visa purposes
This coordination can be important because the credibility of the business model is often central to E-2 visa approval.
Do I need to invest in a New York business to work with a New York E-2 lawyer?
No. E-2 visa lawyers located in New York frequently represent clients investing across the United States.
However, investors who plan to launch a New York-based business often benefit from working with lawyers familiar with:
- New York corporate structures
- Local licensing requirements
- Real estate and leasing practices
- Business formation in New York State
This helps ensure the immigration strategy reflects how businesses actually operate in New York.
Can New York E-2 lawyers help if I am applying at a U.S. consulate abroad?
Yes. Most E-2 visas are issued through U.S. consulates outside the United States, even when the business will operate in New York.
New York E-2 lawyers typically coordinate with clients and advisors across multiple jurisdictions to prepare the visa application and supporting documentation.
For example, in some cases a client may be:
- Living in Europe
- Expanding a foreign business to New York
- Applying for the visa at a U.S. consulate abroad
These cross-border cases often require international coordination between immigration and business teams.
How do I choose the right E-2 visa lawyer in New York?
When evaluating an E-2 visa lawyer, investors often consider several factors:
- Experience with E-2 visa petitions
- Familiarity with investor-led businesses
- Ability to coordinate business planning and immigration strategy
- International experience with consular filings
- Understanding of New York business operations
Because E-2 visa cases often involve both immigration law and business structuring, investors frequently look for firms that can support both aspects of the process.
What kinds of businesses qualify for an E-2 visa in New York?
The E-2 visa can support a wide range of businesses in New York, including:
- Retail businesses
- Restaurants and hospitality
- Professional services
- Technology startups
- Consulting firms
- Import and distribution businesses
The key issue is not the industry but whether the investment meets E-2 visa requirements, including being a real and operating commercial enterprise.

Can E-2 investors open a small business in New York?
Yes. Many successful E-2 visa cases involve small or early-stage businesses, particularly when the investor will actively direct and develop the enterprise.
For example, some investors begin with:
- Small studios
- Consulting businesses
- Boutique retail operations
- Design or creative firms
The important issue is demonstrating that the business is real, active, and capable of growth, not simply a passive investment.
Are escrow arrangements common in New York E-2 visa cases?
Yes. Many E-2 investors use escrow agreements to protect investment funds until the visa is approved.
Escrow can help demonstrate that funds are committed to the business, while also protecting the investor if the visa application is denied.
Experienced E-2 lawyers often structure escrow arrangements to ensure they comply with immigration requirements while protecting the investor’s position.

E-2 Visa EB-1C Pathway
The L-1 visa has no advantage over the E-2 visa in terms of pathway to a Green Card. If an E-2 visa holder meets the EB-1C criteria then the “pathway” is identical to the holder of an L-1 visa.Confusion sometimes arises because EB-1C criteria are similar to L-1A criteria.

E2 Visa Immigration lawyer near meSeveral lawyers told me I would not be able to get a TN visa. Two weeks after contacting Davies & Associates I was working in New York, visa in hand.
Individual seeking 'Impossible' TN VisaD&A was very detail-oriented and very thorough in what they did. They worked on my case 24/7 and were very patient in answering all my questions.
E-2 Visa ClientMy case felt complex but D&A managed the whole process carefully and helped me move seamlessly from one stage to the next.
E2 + CBI ClientD&A was my guiding light through the entire EB-5 process.
EB-5 Visa ClientI would definitely be a big advocate for the rest of my life for anyone wanting to explore the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Programme leading to the E-2 visa. The most important thing is a good team behind you. With Davies & Associates, you're in safe hands... you need someone who can support you on the ground and, again, you are well taken care of by D&A. The people are really warm, very helpful and quite open-minded when it comes to business... Not to mention as a passport it's great from a travel perspective... It's just 4 to 5 hours from New York.
Grenada CBI + E2 Visa ClientThe entire process of getting an EB-5 visa is handled in a professional way by Mark Davies and his team. EB-5 is a wonderful option for anyone considering moving to the United States if you have the means. I was hoping to use the H-1B route for my children, but it became unreliable and so I looked to the EB-5 visa instead. It is great for anyone who has the resources. Mark gives you the first meetings himself which gives you great comfort. Both Mark and Sanjay are abundantly available and I even had the pleasure of hosting them at my house.
Parent of 2 EB-5 visa holdersI'm in the process of extending my L-1 visa. I submitted a few questions regarding my case, and he contacted me back almost immediately, both by email and telephone. Unlike other attorneys I met before, he gave me the impression of knowing off the top of his head what kind of visa I have, and what actions had to be taken to extend it. He is very thorough and clear regarding the process and what to expect in terms of timelines and issues that may arise. He is constantly in contact, so you definitely know he's working on your case.
L-1B Visa HolderMark Davies is a joy to work with. His extensive knowledge, speedy response and attentive service took away all my fears of dealing with immigration and visa applications. He is very generous with his time in explaining every step along the way and I have already and will in the future recommend him to anybody who is looking for an immigration lawyer.
