Read the general investor planning overview
A Three Rivers investor should establish the entitlement and transfer that connects company resources to the proposed US enterprise.
Use the genuine funding event
Provide relevant ownership, distribution and transfer evidence. Do not invent a dividend or call the company’s entire balance the applicant’s personal money.
Meet the capital and ownership conditions
At least 50% relevant treaty-country national enterprise ownership, development and direction, substantial at-risk funds and lawful source/path remain necessary. There is no universal E-2 minimum.
Support the real business
Nonmarginality includes more than minimal living or significant economic contribution under the applicable framework. Pending distributions are not completed receipts, and E-2 does not impose EB-5’s ten-job rule.
