It is pertinent to note that E1 and E2 visas are not currently available to Indian nationals. Davies & Associates (D&A), a US-based immigration law firm, has worked with Indian clients who have obtained a third country nationality and then qualified for an E1 or E2 visa on that basis. While E visas are non-immigrant visas they can entail significantly less investment than an EB5-based green card application.
