Can I get an E-2 visa based on revenues from my US company? I've read there is some minimum investment requirement (like at least $100k) for that visa. Can I use revenues/profits from an active US business to meet those basic requirements?

The E-2 requires a substantial investment by citizens or companies of the same nationality as the applicant so it's possible, if the U.S. company is the same nationality as the applicant, that revenues reinvested into the company could qualify as an investment for E-2 purposes.
Hi Peter,

Thanks for doing the AMA.

Can you clarify because I didn't understand.

> if the U.S. company is the same nationality as the applicant.

Let me give you an example.

If I, a UK citizen and currently residing in the UK. I incorporate a company in the US, a Delaware LLC. That company generates $100k and then is on target to be generating additional revenues for re-investment in the company.

Can this $100k and re-investment be used to petition for an E-2 visa?

Yes.
Thank you for the clarification, much appreciated!
