E2 Success – Stephen and Jane

While some of our E2 visa clients dream of starting their own business in the United States, many want to buy an existing business. Stephen and Jane had that dream. Not wanting to live a life of “What ifs,” they contacted the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram to help bring their dream to fruition.

Journey to the United States 

Coming from the United Kingdom, the family began their journey toward the American Dream on the internet. Their research brought them to the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram, where Stephen says they were impressed by the website, which iss full of valuable information that is not available elsewhere. Navigating the immigration process can be an overwhelming task, but according to Stephen, the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram provided a lot of sound guidance and direction. Plus, he exclaims, “They have a lot of success stories!” Fortunately, Stephen and Jane were able to become a success story and one of many outlined in the Approvals Gallery.

The E2 visa is a long-term, non-immigrant visa that is available to foreign investors who live in countries with an investment treaty with the United States. This visa also benefits the American economy, creating a win-win situation for both alien investors and the United States. All applicants must show that their business will have an important effect to the local community and economy by creating jobs for local workers.

The Benefits of the E2 Visa 

The E2 Investment Visa was the perfect choice for Stephen and Jane, as it allowed them to move with their daughter to sunny Santa Monica, California and buy their own dog grooming business. According to Jane, “living the American dream has been a very long road but a very worthwhile experience.”

Jane is currently managing the business, while Stephen was able to secure a work permit offered to the spouses of E2 investors and continue his career in the information technology sector.

Their daughter was recently accepted in a college in the University of California system, and family is enjoying the life and opportunities that can be found in the United States.
