Investor visas
We prepare the financial and tax side of investor visa cases and work alongside your immigration attorney, who handles eligibility and the petition.
In short
For investor visa cases such as the E-2, MTroncone CPA prepares the financial side: documentation of where the investment money came from and how it moved, financial projections for the business plan, and the U.S. accounting and tax setup of the company. Eligibility, legal strategy and the visa petition are handled by your immigration attorney, and we coordinate with them throughout.
Immigration eligibility and the visa petition are handled by your immigration attorney. MTroncone CPA prepares the financial and tax side and coordinates with your attorney.

Frequently asked questions
Who handles the visa application?
Your immigration attorney handles eligibility, legal strategy and the visa petition. We prepare the financial documentation and the U.S. accounting and tax side, and we coordinate with your attorney so the numbers match the file.
Is there a minimum investment for an E-2 visa?
The State Department sets no fixed dollar minimum. The investment has to be substantial in relation to the total cost of the business, which is a legal assessment your attorney makes; we prepare the numbers that support it.
Which documents show the source of funds?
Usually bank statements that trace each transfer, plus the documents behind the money itself, such as a property sale, savings from salary, a loan secured by your own assets or an inheritance. Your attorney decides what goes into the file.
Do you write the business plan?
We prepare the financial part: projections, startup costs and the investment summary. The rest of the plan is written with your attorney's guidance.
Can you work with my attorney if I live outside the United States?
Yes. We meet by video, receive documents through the client portal and share the financial files directly with your attorney, in English or Spanish.
