1 May 2019
The long-anticipated rollout of the E-2 investor visa, enabling Israeli citizens to invest and work in the US, has finally taken effect from today. Israeli citizens will be able to utilize the visa to invest in an enterprise (new or existing) or hire Israeli managerial, supervisory, executive or essential employees into the US enterprise.
Visa applications are accepted directly at the US Embassy in Tel Aviv without the requirement for any prior USCIS approval.
