-- Global Immigration Partners Identifies Top Reasons for E-2 Visa Denials — and How Investors Can Avoid Them
Global Immigration Partners PLLC, a premier U.S. immigration law firm specializing in investor and business visas, has released key insights into the most common reasons for E-2 visa denials. The announcement aims to guide foreign entrepreneurs and investors through the complex E-2 Treaty Investor Visa process and improve approval outcomes.
The E-2 visa enables citizens of treaty countries to invest in and manage businesses in the United States. However, U.S. consulates frequently deny E-2 visa applications due to incomplete documentation, insufficient investment levels, or unclear business viability.
Top Reasons for E-2 Visa Denials
- Insufficient Investment Capital
Many applicants are denied because their investment does not meet the “substantial” threshold under E-2 visa regulations. The U.S. government evaluates whether the capital invested is sufficient to ensure the business’s success and reflect the investor’s financial commitment.
- Weak or Unrealistic Business Plans
Visa officers often reject applications supported by vague or poorly structured business plans. An E-2 business plan must include detailed financial projections, job creation timelines, and clear market analysis.
- Marginal Enterprise Concerns
An E-2 application may be denied if the proposed business appears to only support the investor and their family, without demonstrating potential for significant U.S. economic contribution or job creation.
- Unverified Source of Funds
A common reason for denial is failure to prove that investment funds came from lawful and traceable sources. Applicants must provide bank statements, tax records, and documentation tracing the movement of funds into the U.S.
- Lack of Active Management Role
Passive investments—such as owning property without operational involvement—do not qualify for E-2 status. Applicants must demonstrate a clear intention to direct and develop the business.

“Our firm routinely assists investors in avoiding these common pitfalls,” said Alexander Jovy, Co-managing partner at Global Immigration Partners. “By developing a compliant business plan, structuring investments correctly, and thoroughly documenting financial sources, E-2 visa applicants can substantially improve their chances of approval.”
