Your questions, answered
From visa timelines to investment details, we’ve answered the most common questions we get from investors, professionals, and partners, so you can move forward with confidence.
Yes, you can invest in your own business and apply for the E-2 visa. It is one of the favorite pathways of our clients. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive support for entrepreneurs or investors navigating the complexities of establishing and managing a US-based business.
This largely depends on the visa that you hold and the corporate structure that you establish with your attorney. At times, you can sell one investment you might have done and reinvest into another franchise opportunity and keep your visa.
The outcome largely depends on the visa class you apply for; however, it's important to keep in mind that after 10 years, 90% of franchises are still in operation. For the E-2 investor visa, your visa is no longer valid if you close your business (voluntarily or involuntarily).
There is no set minimum, but we recommend a total investment of at least $100,000 for the E-2 visa.
If your application is denied, we're here to assist you with the reapplication process. While only a small percentage of clients have experienced initial denials, nearly all have been successfully approved upon reapplying. We’ll work closely with you and your filing attorney to address any issues and strengthen your case for a better outcome.
The attorney fee may be included in the total price quoted depending on the package you choose.
Absolutely, your attorney can work with us. We collaborate closely with attorneys to ensure smooth coordination, helping to align your U.S. immigration and professional goals for the best possible outcome. If you don’t yet have an attorney, no problem—we can connect you with an experienced immigration attorney who we believe will be an excellent match for your specific requirements.
Visa Franchise is not a law firm. We require that our clients engage an independent, licensed immigration attorney for specific legal guidance, opinions, and support during the U.S. visa application process. Our team of document specialists led by an in-house attorney, will work closely with your filing attorney. We have an extensive network of attorneys that regularly work with our clients if you’d like us to recommend one for your case.
Visa Franchise will refund the Consulting Fee depending on the services you choose and if certain criteria are met. This guarantee is a reflection of our high confidence in our services and the success of our clients. Please note that the refund applies only if certain conditions are met. For more information, speak to our immigration specialists.
We offer full end-to-end support, including franchise matching (for E-2), attorney coordination, document preparation, and relocation guidance.
Start by filling out our short eligibility form. We’ll review your background and let you know which visa paths are a good fit, with no obligation.
Not at all. We also work with immigration attorneys, consultants, and global agencies through our Partner Program.
No. We help you discover the right franchise (for investors) or position your achievements (for O-1 talent) as part of the process.
We specialize in the E-2 and EB-5 visas for investors, and the O-1 visa for top-performing professionals. We also support partners looking to refer or collaborate with us.
Real Stories. Real Results.
At the event, we’ll be showcasing real success stories from individuals who were once in your position.

"I watched a lot of YouTube videos and listened to many podcasts, and Visa Franchise kept coming up. I thought, “Okay, they’re very interesting—I have to meet with them.” That’s how I first found out about you, and I have to say, Visa Franchise has been amazing throughout the entire process."
"Visa Franchise definitely helped us a lot because I had no idea where to start my research or how to contact companies. It didn’t matter what type of visa it was since we had no idea how much we needed to spend. Once we started talking with Visa Franchise, I said, “Listen, this is my budget. Find something that fits so I can apply for an E-2 visa."
"One of the best ROI decisions I’ve ever made was definitely going with your team. Having thousands of data points already analyzed on my screen helped me make the best choice in selecting the right franchise."

Patrick and his team were incredibly responsive and thoroughly evaluated our situation. We ended up with a visa that matched our needs, and it has just been approved."
"Visa Franchise presented me with several options. DreamMaker Kitchen & Bath stood out because of its full-service, turnkey business model, which was the closest to what I had done in Brazil."
