Los Angeles, CA (PinionNewswire) — Global Immigration Partners PLLC, a leading U.S. immigration law firm, today released a comprehensive overview addressing a question asked by thousands of foreign investors each year: Can an E-2 Visa lead to a Green Card?
While the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa is not a direct path to U.S. permanent residency, Global Immigration Partners confirms that multiple strategic and legally compliant routes can allow E-2 visa holders to transition to a U.S. Green Card.
E-2 Visa to Green Card: Key Insight from Global Immigration Partners
The E-2 visa enables investors from treaty countries to live and work in the United States through substantial investments in U.S. businesses. Although inherently a non-immigrant visa category, many E-2 investors seek longer-term solutions for permanent residency.
Global Immigration Partners outlines several viable pathways to a Green Card for qualifying E-2 investors:
1: EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program
For investors ready to increase their commitment, transitioning from E-2 to EB-5 is one of the most popular options.
- Minimum investment: $800,000 (Targeted Employment Area) or $1,050,000 (standard).
- Investment in the E-2 business may, in some cases, be restructured to qualify for EB-5 requirements—including job creation and capital at risk.
2: EB-1C Multinational Manager or Executive Green Card
E-2 business owners expanding internationally may qualify for the EB-1C category, provided they meet managerial/executive criteria and maintain qualifying overseas operations.
3: PERM Labor Certification Employment-Based Green Card
Some E-2 visa holders may pursue permanent residency through employer sponsorship under the EB-2 or EB-3 categories.
4: Marriage-Based or Family-Based Adjustment of Status
E-2 visa holders married to U.S. citizens or with qualifying relatives may pursue adjustment of status through family-based channels.
