Whether you are seeking a non-immigrant visa to conduct business in the U.S. or an immigrant investor visa that provides a pathway to permanent residency — Ozek Law Firm is here to guide you through every step of the process.
At Ozek Law Firm, we specialize in guiding foreign investors through the complex processes of securing E1, E2, and EB-5 visas. Whether you are interested in expanding your business to the U.S. or obtaining permanent residency through investment, our experienced team is here to help you navigate the legal requirements for success.
The E1 and E2 visa options are available to nationals of countries with qualifying trade or investment treaties with the United States — allowing foreign nationals to operate businesses and manage significant investments, creating opportunities for growth and expansion. The EB-5 visa offers a pathway to U.S. permanent residency for those who make qualifying capital investments in U.S. enterprises that create jobs for American workers.
Our attorneys will work with you to evaluate your business plans and investment opportunities — ensuring compliance with U.S. immigration laws and helping you secure the right visa for your goals. We investigate all available options and develop a strategic, personalized path forward for every investor we represent.
Each investor visa program serves different goals — from short-term business management to permanent U.S. residency. Our attorneys provide personalized guidance to identify the program best suited to your nationality, investment level, and objectives.
The E-1 visa is available to nationals of countries that have a qualifying treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. It allows individuals and businesses engaged in substantial trade — primarily between the U.S. and the treaty country — to enter and work in the U.S. to carry on that trade. The trade must be principal and continuous, and a majority of the total volume of international trade must be between the U.S. and the treaty country.
The E-2 Treaty Investor visa allows nationals of treaty countries to enter the U.S. to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which they have invested — or are actively in the process of investing — a substantial amount of capital. Unlike the EB-5 program, E-2 is a non-immigrant visa without a fixed minimum investment requirement, though the investment must be substantial relative to the total cost of the enterprise and must not be marginal.
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers a direct pathway to U.S. permanent residency for foreign nationals who make a qualifying capital investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers. Up to 10,000 immigrant visas are available each year under the EB-5 program. Investments may be made directly or through USCIS-designated Regional Centers. We assist with both EB-5 Regional Center Designation and Business Plan Compliance Review — ensuring your investment structure satisfies every USCIS requirement.
The right visa depends on your nationality, investment amount, business objectives, and whether you seek non-immigrant status or a direct path to permanent residency. We assess all three options and recommend the optimal strategy for your situation.
Investor visa petitions require precise documentation, strategic business planning, and a thorough understanding of the specific requirements for each program. Our attorneys manage the entire process — from initial eligibility assessment through USCIS approval and consular processing — with the precision and personalized attention that every investor deserves.
“Whether one solution or many — we explore all options and work with you to create a strategic path forward tailored to your investment goals and immigration objectives.”
Tolga Ozek — Founding PrincipalWe evaluate your nationality, investment amount, business objectives, and timeline to determine which visa category — E-1, E-2, or EB-5 — is best suited to your goals, and whether any eligibility barriers exist.
We review and advise on the business plan and investment structure to ensure it meets the substantiality and non-marginality requirements for E-2, the trade volume requirements for E-1, or the job creation and investment requirements for EB-5.
We compile and organize all required supporting documentation — including source of funds evidence, trade records, corporate documents, and business financials — ensuring every file presented to USCIS or the consulate is complete and compelling.
We prepare and file the complete petition or visa application — handling all USCIS forms, DS forms, supporting exhibits, and legal briefs. For EB-5, this includes the I-526E immigrant petition and all accompanying documentation.
After approval, we advise on consular processing, visa stamp procedures, and port-of-entry guidance. We then provide ongoing support for renewals, status extensions, employee derivative applications, and for EB-5 investors, the I-829 conditions removal petition.
