Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

The answer to your question doesn't lend itself to a quick online response. I do suggest that you start looking for answers on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov, but ultimately you will need to consult with an attorney because the regulations and information online generally does not address the finer points and subtleties of such an application. For an E investor application, the investment should be in the $500,000 plus range. You may be eligible for E Treaty/Trader status depending upon the nature of your business and that would remove the half million investment requirement altogether. Good luck!
