E-2 Treaty Investor

E-2 Treaty Investor Approval for a Washington Car Rental Business Owner

Our firm secured E-2 treaty investor status approval for an entrepreneur whose vehicle rental business serves the Seattle–Tacoma area, supported by a five-vehicle fleet and documented rental revenue.

Approval Story

Our client invested approximately $58,100 in a Washington vehicle rental enterprise in which he held a 95% ownership interest. Serving the Seattle–Tacoma metropolitan area, the business assembled a five-vehicle fleet offering transportation options for tourists, families, business travelers, and local residents. Its operations through Turo included active listings, completed rentals, customer reviews, and earned revenue at the time of filing.

Our firm documented the investment’s origin in a property sale in Türkiye and traced the funds into the acquisition of business assets. Vehicle purchase records, licensing documents, rental car registration, and platform records supported the presentation of an active commercial enterprise. We also submitted a five-year business plan addressing projected growth and future hiring, together with evidence of his controlling ownership and responsibilities for fleet acquisition, financial oversight, and business development.

Completed rentals and customer feedback helped give this case a clear commercial context: the company was already serving customers in its target market. Those records complemented the financial projections by showing how the fleet was being used and generating revenue. USCIS approved the I-129 petition and accompanying change-of-status request, allowing our client to develop and direct the enterprise as an E-2 treaty investor.
