The 1995 Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations and Consular Rights with Iran has been terminated on January 24th 2020. Therefore citizens of Iran are not eligible for the E2 visa anymore.

The E-2 visa allows qualifying investors and employees to stay in the U.S. for a maximum of two years. Requests for extension of stay in E 2 status or changes of status to E 2 classification may be granted in increments of up to two years each. There is no limit to the number of extensions an E-2 nonimmigrant may be granted. An E-2 nonimmigrant who travels abroad may generally be granted an automatic two-year period of readmission when returning to the United States with a valid E 2 visa.

An E-2 visa holder can only work for the E-2 visa sponsoring company and conduct activities for which he or she was approved for. In other words, an e-2 visa is employer and position specific. Luckily, the regulations allow the E-2 visa holder to work for the E-2 company’s parent company or one of its subsidiaries so long as the relationship between the companies is established, the subsidiary employment requires executive, supervisory, or essential skills employee; and the terms and conditions of employment remain the same. Therefore, the beneficiary of an E-2 Visa cannot work for another company.

To be eligible for E2 Visa, you must be a citizen of a country with an E2 investor treaty with the US; You must be coming to work for an E2 company you own or one that is owned by at least 50% nationals of your home country; You must be an owner or a key employee of the US company; You or the company must have made a substantial investment in the US business; The US company must be an active, for-profit business; and You must intend to leave the US when your business is done.
