The E-2 Treaty Investor visa is often described in vague terms—“substantial investment,” “active business,” “non-immigrant intent.” In reality, success depends far less on theory and far more on preparation, structure, and execution.

This session offers a first-hand, experience-based perspective on what it actually takes to obtain and use an E-2 visa successfully. The talk walks through the real journey from company formation and capital structuring to documentation, interviews, and operational realities after approval.

Rather than providing legal advice, the session focuses on practical lessons learned, common misconceptions, and typical mistakes that delay or derail E-2 applications. Participants will gain clarity on timelines, investment logic, business credibility, and how U.S. authorities evaluate intent, risk, and substance.

The session can be delivered in English or German, or as a bilingual format, depending on audience needs.
