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.

Instead of investing in a franchise, can I invest in my own business and obtain the E-2 visa?

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.

What if I want to sell my franchise before my visa expires?

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.

What if my franchise fails? Will I be kicked out of the country?

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 For the E-2 investor visa, your visa is no longer valid if you close your business (voluntarily or involuntarily).

What is the minimum franchise investment needed for an E-2 visa?

There is no set minimum, but we recommend a total investment of at least $100,000 for the E-2 visa.

What happens if my application is denied?

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.

Is the attorney fee included?

The attorney fee may be included in the total price quoted depending on the package you choose.

Can my attorney work with you?

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.

Are you a law firm?

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.

What do you mean by money-back guarantee?

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.

What kind of support do you provide during the process?

We offer full end-to-end support, including franchise matching (for E-2), attorney coordination, document preparation, and relocation guidance.

How do I know if I qualify for your visa programs?

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.

Is this service only for individuals?

Not at all. We also work with immigration attorneys, consultants, and global agencies through our Partner Program.

Do I need to have a U.S. job offer or business idea before contacting?

No. We help you discover the right franchise (for investors) or position your achievements (for O-1 talent) as part of the process.

What types of U.S. visas do you help with?

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.
