♦ E-2 (Initial) Approval ♦ LEE IMMIGRATION LAW FIRM is delighted to announce a recent E-2 classification approval. We handled an initial E-2 (Treaty Investor) petition for the position of “Financial Data Analyst” on behalf of a subsidiary of a banking corporation, located in New York. The E-2 classification allows a national of a treaty country (in this case, the beneficiary is a national of South Korea) to be admitted to the United States when investing a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business. E-2 petitions are complex because we have to prove that certain conditions are being met: the investor made (or is actively in the process of making) a substantial investment to a bona fide, operating enterprise; the investor has control of the funds; and the investor must be employed in a supervisory, executive, or highly specialized skill capacity where they can develop and direct the investment enterprise. We utilized supporting evidence such as financial documentation, company records, and the beneficiary’s academic documents that the beneficiary to qualify for E-2 classification. This petition was filed with premium processing and was successfully approved by the USCIS in just 14 days without an RFE (Request for Evidence). Congratulations and best wishes!!! *** Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances. (Rule of Professional Conduct 7.1.(a)(2))
