I am looking for some experience with the processing times on the e2 investor visa.
I submitted my file a little over 7 weeks ago at the brussels US embassy and have received no update yet (I do have a confirmation that they received it). My lawyer told me beforehand that they usually take less time than the indicated processing time but it doesn't seem to be the case for me. The processing time indicated on the embassy website is currently 6 weeks.
Could it be a good sign? I would assume that if it is a denial that the news would come pretty fast, no? Could it take longer because my company will be active in the pharmaceutical area and might require a background check?
I already have clients lined up and waiting for me and they are getting very impatient.
E2 background:
Investment: 92k dollars. I am investing together with a company that has offices all around the globe in my domain and they invest with the goal to have a US partner. My investment is 65%
At risk: 37k has been placed in escrow (money is released for operational use at visa approval), about 30k has been spent and the rest (about 25k) sits on the company bank account. So a total of 67k could be considered as irrevocably committed and the regulations say that a portion of the investment may reside in the bank account as operarional funds.
Consultancy requires mostly cashflow and has a low setup cost
Type of company: pharma consultancy
Experience: I have extensive experience in developing and running a department of pharma consultants (+/-75 people) and have experience in growing that type of business (grew department from 20 to 75 in less than 5 years). I have a good reference letter on this from the group CEO from that company.
The business plan has as goal to get to 20 to 25 local employees over a span of 5 years with a good profitability
