I am a Canadian interested in the E2 investors visa to start a new business in the US. I contacted two law firms and got two different versions of the requirements. Before I pay another law firms consulting fee to get a third opinion I thought I'd see if anyone on Reddit can offer help.
The first law firm said that I do not need a location yet for the new business. They said I could apply with no location set. After I get the visa I can go to the US to select a location and set the store up.
The second law firm said that to set up a new business I need to show significant risk to my investment. Before I can even apply for the visa I have to go down to the US, select a location, sign lease, pay rent, completely set up store and hire staff. Then I can apply for a visa. If I do not do that I will be declined by the US consulate.
which of these is correct? thanks for any help
