The E-2 visa classification enables a foreign national to temporarily work and live in the U.S. as a result of directing or developing an enterprise in which he or she has invested, or is actively involved in the process of investing, a substantial amount of capital. One of the major qualifications for this visa category requires that the foreign national come from a country that has signed a commercial treaty with the U.S. The U.S. Department of State also outlines other requirements here.
