-- Global Immigration Partners Issues New Advisory on 2026 E-2 Visa Processing Times Amid Increased Investor Demand
Global Immigration Partners, a prominent U.S. immigration law firm specialising in investor and business visas, today released updated guidance on E-2 Visa processing times in 2026, responding to rising interest from international entrepreneurs seeking to establish businesses in the United States.
The firm reports that E-2 Visa filings are seeing greater variability in processing timelines due to shifting consular workloads, fluctuating appointment availability, and increased scrutiny of investment-based immigration applications. To help investors plan more effectively, Global Immigration Partners has published new insights detailing what applicants can expect this year.
According to the firm, consular processing times currently range from several weeks to several months, depending on the specific U.S. embassy or consulate. Applicants filing for a change of status with USCIS typically face a timeline of three to five months, although premium processing can reduce that timeframe significantly.
“In 2026, timing is playing a more critical role in investment decisions,” said Alexander Jovy, Co-Managing Partner at Global Immigration Partners. “Many investors are structuring acquisitions, business launches, and market entry strategies around these visa timelines. Our goal is to ensure clients have accurate, practical information as early as possible.”
The firm notes that delays are most commonly caused by:
• High demand at specific consulates
• Seasonal fluctuations in visa appointment availability
• Requests for additional documentation
• Administrative or security reviews
Global Immigration Partners continues to assist clients in preparing comprehensive E-2 Visa applications, including business plans, corporate documents, investment evidence, and compliance materials — all designed to minimize the risk of delays and improve the overall likelihood of approval.
“Predictability matters,” Jovy added. “With the right preparation and strategic approach, investors can navigate these timelines effectively while keeping their business goals on track.”
The firm’s complete 2026 E-2 Visa wait time overview is available on its website at GlobalImmigration.com.
