Hi, I am a chiropractor from Canada. I am interested in apply E visa. Does anyone know how much min. $$ do I have to invest? and how should I get start??
 
Hi

The USCIS say substaintial sum, they do not give an actual amount.

I have know people get an E visa by investing $120,000 USD upwards.

You could even start a business from scratch eg. Get a good business plan written up by a CPA quailfied accountant, Do 5 year leas on shop (subject to visa approval) put orders in contingent on visa approval etc.,

You may wish to stop by www.expatsvoice.org for more info

On Wed 4th Oct expatsvoice is having an immigration attorney in the chat room at 5 to 6pm EST may be worth joining and asking some questions

Regards Sue

It really depends on the type of business. Since you are a chiropractor then you would probably need to buy some equipment for your office, such as tables for your patients, etc. I know of Canadians that have invested as little as 80k and have been approved. As long as you have a strong application package with the essentials: business plan, financial projections, expenses, lease (yearly basis), etc. it should be fine.
 
Thank you both of your advise

Is there any problem if my money resource is from my family member? and do I have to put the money into my account in order to show them first? or I have to start purchase some equipments before I apply?? Thank you once again!
 
It usually is not a problem if the source of your money comes from a family member. It may be helpful to include an affidavit to that effect. Typically I tell my clients to open the U.S. bank account and use that to make purchases. Remember, the money needs to be "at-risk." You could include a contract to purchase the equipment contingent on your E-2 visa approval. I would recommend hiring a lawyer to help you through the process.
 
Re relative's money - We were actually told that this might cause issues - even so far as money coming from a spouse. Our attorney told us that this would be viewed as an investment in the E2 company by the person whose money it was rather than the E2 applicant.

Hi

I think you will find that the investment has to be the applicants.

I think this answer depends on how much was received by the relative. All of it or only part? As long as there is some sort of documentation showing it is either a gift or loan it should not be a problem as long as the sum is not too large.
