Our client, a citizen of Pakistan, entered the U.S. on a B-2 visitor visa. He decided he wanted to buy a convenience store, and apply for an E-2 visa. He purchased the convenience store for $160,000, put the money in escrow, and was able to prove that the investment would also create 3 more jobs, in addition to the existing employees of the enterprise. USCIS approved the case and our client was granted an E-2 for 2 years.
