Below is a brief breakdown of some of the nuances of the E-2 visa consular process for three European countries:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>France &#8211; Procedure for getting an E2 Visa<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each applicant must complete the DS-160 and E-2 non-derivative applicants must also submit the form DS-156E, except for E-2 principal investors. After submitting the application and receiving confirmation, the consulate will provide the applicant with the date for the consular appointment interview.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a 50-page limit for the supporting documents which must then be emailed to the specified consular address using their required format.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a company has been approved for an E visa within the past 12 months, and now wishes to apply for additional employees, the company can submit a truncated application per the embassy specifications as well, however, a full application must be submitted at least once a year.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, French nationals need to renew their E2 visa every 25 months which is shorter than the renewal period for many other treaty countries. French nationals are however allowed multiple entries during the 25-month period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current wait time for E-2 consular appointments in Paris is 125 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Italy &#8211; Process of obtaining an E2 Visa<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After completing the DS-160 and DS-156E and registering with the online system, all applicants must submit specific documents via email to the specified Rome consular address.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, after receiving confirmation, the applicant then uploads the supporting documents. For Italy, the documents are limited to 5 MB in PDF or zipped format.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the application is from an E-2 vetted company, there is a special process to follow which includes completing the DS-156 for the principal applicants only.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppose the applicant is not a business owner but an employee. In that case, the applicant must include a job letter from the company describing the business, the job the applicant will do, and his or her qualification for that job, as well as a signed statement from the principal applicant of intent to depart the U.S. upon the termination of the E status.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, E-2 visas for Italian nationals are valid for 60 months and permitted multiple entries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0E visas are only processed in Rome, and although the U.S. Embassy in Rome has now resumed routine nonimmigrant E visa services, they are still significantly backed up. Applicants are encouraged to apply 6-12 months in advance of their anticipated travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>United Kingdom &#8211; Approach to gaining an E2 Visa<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After completing the requisite DS-160 and DS-156E, the applicant will be assigned a specific address to which they must then upload the supporting documents according to their specific format.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Treaty Traders and Treaty Investors (Owners), prior to doing anything, they must first register their company with the UK consular office\u2019s E-Visa Unit. \u00a0 To do this, they submit by email specified supporting documents and wait until the company has been reviewed by the E-Visa Unit. \u00a0After the E-visa unit completes their review, they will notify the applicant of their interview date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-552\" src=\"https:\/\/lukebowmanlaw.com\/lawblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/law-service-e2-visa-business.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lukebowmanlaw.com\/lawblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/law-service-e2-visa-business.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/lukebowmanlaw.com\/lawblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/law-service-e2-visa-business-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lukebowmanlaw.com\/lawblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/law-service-e2-visa-business-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lukebowmanlaw.com\/lawblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/law-service-e2-visa-business-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lukebowmanlaw.com\/lawblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/law-service-e2-visa-business-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lukebowmanlaw.com\/lawblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/law-service-e2-visa-business-260x145.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees of companies that are already registered must make their appointments through the\u00a0U.S. Visa Appointment Service and do not need to submit any documents in advance. \u00a0On the day of the interview, they are required to present the necessary documents for employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/working-in-the-united-states\/temporary-workers\/e-2-treaty-investors\">E-2 visas<\/a> for UK nationals are valid for 60 months and UK nationals are approved for multiple entries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current processing time is 45 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/lukebowmanlaw.com\/immigration-services\"><em><strong>Please get in touch with us if you have any inquiries about the E2 visa. \u270c\ufe0f<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Apply for an E2 Visa and The Documents Required?
