🚨 Top 10 Business Ideas with the Lowest Failure Rate – and How Immigrants Can Use Them to Get an E-2 U.S. Visa or Green Card 🚨

If you’re exploring E-2 visa business ideas, choosing a low-risk, high-success industry is crucial to strengthen your visa application.

At Shepelsky Law Group, we help foreign entrepreneurs turn these reliable business ideas into a path to U.S. residency. Whether you’re investing in a laundromat or launching a senior care service, our experienced immigration team can help you secure the right visa — and even a green card — through your business.

Here’s how:

✅ E-1 and E-2 Visas

These are for treaty traders and investors from countries with a commerce treaty with the U.S.

  • E-1 Treaty Trader Visa: For those engaging in substantial international trade with the U.S.
  • E-2 Treaty Investor Visa: For individuals investing a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business.
    These visas are perfect if you’re buying or launching any of the below low-risk businesses.

✅ EB-1 Green Card (Extraordinary Ability or Multinational Executive)

Business owners with extraordinary success or those who’ve managed foreign and U.S. branches of a company may qualify. This is often ideal for established entrepreneurs with a proven track record.

✅ EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver)

Entrepreneurs who can show their business benefits the U.S. economically or socially can apply without a job offer or labor certification. This is great for innovative, essential services such as senior care, IT support, or green tech.
