I was born in India but have Australian citizenship. I entered the U.S. a few years ago on E-2 to oversee an IT business I invested in. I have an Australian contractor I now wish to directly employ in the U.S. The individual does not have an ownership stake in the U.S. entity. Can an E-2 visa still be issued in this situation?

Answer

Under the right circumstances, it is possible for a company to file an E-2 for an employee, as opposed to the investor. An E-2 employee must have the same nationality as the E-2 enterprise and must be coming to fill an executive, supervisory, or essential skills role. (11.Jun.2025)
