Dos Tipos de Visas E

February 14th, 2024

Tabla de Contenidos

    ¿Quién califica para una Visa E de inversionista/comerciante y cuáles son los requisitos?

    Hay dos tipos de Visas E. La Visa E-1, conocida como la Visa de comerciante, y la Visa E-2, conocida como Visa de inversionista. La Visa de comerciante, Visa E-1, está diseñada para extranjeros que son ciudadanos de un país que haya firmado un tratado de comercio o inversión con EE.UU., y que vienen a los Estados Unidos para:

    • Continuar o participar en comercio sustancial entre su país y los EE.UU. (esto generalmente significa que el 50% o más del comercio extranjero del negocio es con los EE.UU.). Esto también incluye el comercio de servicios y tecnología.

    La Visa de inversionista, E-2, está diseñada para extranjeros que son ciudadanos de un país que ha firmado un tratado de comercio e inversión con EE.UU., y que vienen a los Estados Unidos:

    • a desarrollar y administrar las operaciones de una empresa en la cual la persona ha invertido; o
    • a desarrollar y administrar las operaciones de una empresa en la cual la persona esté en proceso de invertir un monto significativo de capital; o
    • que viene como un empleado que llevará a cabo los servicios que requieren aptitudes especiales que son esenciales para la operación de la empresa del inversionista.

    La definición de sustancial con referencia a una inversión está a discreción del gobierno y generalmente evalúa si:

    1. El valor de la inversión es sustancial como porcentaje del precio en el mercado de la empresa (75% del valor de la empresa para negocios pequeños, y 50% del valor de la empresa para negocios valorados por más de $500,000), o
    2. Si el valor de la inversión es sustancial como un porcentaje del capital usualmente requerido para establecer el tipo de negocio en la industria especificada en la aplicación.
      Adicionalmente, la inversión empresarial no debe ser “marginal”, es decir que debe tener la capacidad de proporcionar un ingreso superior a un salario de subsistencia para el inversionista y su familia, en el presente o futuro.

    La importancia de tener una documentación financiera sólida

    Para las Visas E, es importante tener una documentación financiera sólida, incluyendo:

    • la fuente de los fondos de inversión,
    • la historia de impuestos de cualquier entidad existente al igual que de los solicitantes, y
    • un plan de negocios detallado que demuestre la viabilidad y oportunidad de crecimiento para la compañía.

    Para visas de inversionista, es importante demostrar que los fondos le pertenecen al inversionista y no son un regalo de un tercero.

    Adicionalmente, los siguientes 3 elementos deben existir para que la Visa E pueda ser aprobada:

    1. Debe haber un tratado entre los Estados Unidos y el país de la compañía y el de los solicitantes.
    2. La mayoría de las acciones o el control de la empresa involucrada en comercio o inversión en EE. UU debe pertenecer a los ciudadanos del país que ha firmado el tratado de comercio o inversión.
    3. Cada empleado o beneficiario principal solicitando el estatus E debe ser ciudadano del país que ha firmado el tratado de comercio o inversión.

    Procesamiento Premium para peticiones de Visa E presentadas en EE.UU.

    Existe una opción de procesamiento Premium para peticiones de Visa E presentadas en EE.UU., por la cual, con una cuota adicional, el departamento de inmigración se compromete a procesar la solicitud dentro de los siguientes 15 días laborales a partir de la recepción de la solicitud.

    Generalmente, las Visas E son otorgadas por un período de 2-5 años, y el periodo inicial de la visa puede ser extendido indefinidamente. El cónyuge e hijos solteros menores de 21 años del titular de la Visa E pueden obtener una visa derivada de la E, la cual les permite vivir y estudiar en los EE.UU. sin ningún permiso adicional. El cónyuge del beneficiario de la visa E puede también obtener autorización para trabajar en los Estados Unidos.
