As an Indian-Canadian, you possess a privilege that 1.4 billion people in India do not: The right to live and work in the USA on an E-2 Investor Visa. Don't trust this rare opportunity to a "generalist" lawyer.

The "Double Advantage"

Why Indian-Canadians Are Uniquely Positioned for Success

You have the business acumen and grit of your Indian heritage, combined with the power of Canadian citizenship. This combination unlocks the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa—a pathway to the U.S. that is closed to Indian nationals but wide open to you.

The E-2 Visa Benefits:

Start or Buy a Business: Launch your own venture or acquire a profitable franchise in the U.S.
Spousal Freedom: Your spouse gets an automatic right to work anywhere in the U.S. (for any employer).
Speed: Bypass the decades-long Green Card backlog. Move to the U.S. in months, not years.
Unlimited Renewals: Stay as long as your business is running.

The "Generalist" Trap

Why "Any Immigration Lawyer" isn't Good Enough

Here is the hard truth: E-2 Visas are not just immigration cases. They are complex financial transactions.

Most immigration law firms are "Generalists." On Monday, they file an asylum case; on Tuesday, a marriage Green Card; and on Wednesday, they try to file your E-2 visa.

The Risk of Using a Generalist:

They Don't Speak "Business": A lawyer focused on family reunification often struggles to understand P&L statements, 5-year financial projections, or complex capitalization tables.
The "Substantiality" Mistake: If they don't structure your investment correctly, the Consular Officer will reject it as "marginal" (not enough to support a family).
Source of Funds Errors: Indian-Canadians often have complex wealth structures involving funds from India, Canada, and the U.S. Generalist lawyers often fail to document this money trail to the strict standards required by the U.S. government.

When your family’s future and $150,000+ of your hard-earned capital are on the line, "good enough" is not safe enough.
