Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: E2 Visa

No, you cannot work for a different employer unless the new employer files a petition for you that is approved. This could be E-2, if you and the new employer continue to meet the E-2 requirements. More likely, you would need to change to a different status. See here for a summary of different options: http://www.martinvisalaw.com/nonimmigrant%20visas.html

Re: E2 Visa

You're meant to work for the petitioning employer, however there is a provision that permits employment for more than one company when there is certain relationship between them and this is established with the government in the application. If this was not done when the case was initiated, an amendment could be filed.

Re: E2 Visa

You really should consult an Immigration Attorney, because there are many ways to get residency, some of which you may already have. This matter is complex and you should not try to do it yourself so you should get an attorney to discuss your options. If you are located in Southern California, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation
