Case Study: Crafting Success in Style

One of our clients is now living her dream, thanks to a successful E-2 status approval. Despite significant challenges, she successfully navigated the process and achieved her goal of owning her very own hair and beauty salon in the United States.

The Challenge: The applicant’s dream of owning a U.S. hair-salon was nearly derailed by the complexities of securing E-2 status. With the U.S. Consulate in her home country known for its strict scrutiny, she struggled to prove the origin of her investment funds due to the lack of personal tax returns creating difficulties in verifying lawful income for investment. On top of this, she needed to demonstrate that the business she was purchasing would not be marginal, given that the previous owners had reported net losses and minimal job creation- a major red flag for E-2 visas.

Our Strategy: To tackle these challenges, we thoroughly explored her funding options and identified compliant methods for transferring the funds to the U.S., ensuring full adherence to E-2 visa regulations. We also developed alternative approaches to demonstrate how the funds were obtained. To overcome the challenge of the seller’s poor business performance, we highlighted the applicant's extensive experience in managing a beauty salon and her broader business expertise, effectively showcasing her ability to revitalize the business.

Results: The strategy paid off beautifully. The Pakistani applicant was granted E-2 status by the USCIS, and her company has since flourished, earning accolades like the “People Love You on Yelp - 2023” award. With plans to expand her team and increase revenues, the salon is set to become a cornerstone of the local beauty scene. Her success is a testament to the power of dedication, smart investments, and a bit of style!
