About the USA E-2 Visa Program:
The United States of America E-2 Visa program allows residents of 80 treaty countries to reside in the USA through business ownership. Benefits of the E-2 include the ability to renew the visa every 2-5 years (depending on country of origin) for an indefinite period of time and maintain US residency as long as the business is operating profitably.
Additionally, spouses and dependents of the investor are eligible to enter the USA under the E-2 and may apply for US work authorization. While there is no set minimum amount to qualify for the program investors should be prepared to provide a "substantial investment" The business must not be considered "marginal" and should provide jobs for US workers.
I highly recommend Jerry Rieder and Rieder Franchise Consulting to any foreign investor seeking franchise investment opportunities in the U.S.

About the Matching Process for E-2 Visa
Investing in a well known, established franchise brand offers a number of benefits over starting a business. Immigration Officials will be familiar with a national franchise brand, unlike a business with little or no history. Additionally, by partnering with a franchise, E-2 Investors are able to readily able to provide officials with required documentation such as full and complete business plans, operational manuals and extensive histories of success.
BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN A FRANCHISE FOR THE E-2 VISA.
A Nationally recognized franchise brand is likely to be perceived favorably by immigration officials over an unknown business.
By investing in a franchise you have the ability to immediately provide immigration officials with much of the required E-2 paperwork such as business plans, forecasts and operational manuals. Creating this on your own could cost thousands.
An established franchise will have a higher overall chance of long term success than a start-up business. And as your stay in the USA is completely dependent on your business remaining profitable and employing US workers; success is critical.
