A:
If you're looking to extend your E2 visa, your first step should be gathering updated documentation that proves your ongoing business investment and operations in the U.S. This includes financial statements, tax returns, employee records, and evidence of maintaining your substantial investment.
You'll need to file Form I-129 with USCIS before your current visa expires, ideally 4-6 months in advance. The extension process requires demonstrating that your business continues to be viable, real, and operating, while showing that you're still actively developing and directing the enterprise.
Remember to include proof that you maintain nonimmigrant intent and ties to your home country. Working with an immigration attorney can help ensure your paperwork is properly prepared and filed on time. The processing time typically ranges from 2-4 months, though premium processing is available if you need faster results.
