Redacted USCIS Form I-765 approval notice for the spouse of an E-2 treaty investor in vehicle rental — Approval notice. Personal details have been redacted.

Following his spouse’s E-2 approval for an Illinois vehicle rental business, our firm secured Form I-765 approval for our client as an E-2 dependent spouse.

Approval Story

Our client’s spouse previously obtained E-2 treaty investor status after establishing and investing in an Illinois vehicle rental business serving Naperville and the greater Chicago area. Our firm secured approval of her E-2 petition based on the documented investment, operating vehicle fleet, business activity, and plans for continued growth.

Following the principal applicant’s E-2 approval, our firm prepared and submitted Form I-765 for her spouse under the (a)(17) category applicable to qualifying E nonimmigrant spouses.

USCIS approved the Form I-765 application and issued an Employment Authorization Document, providing our client with documentation of his authorization to work in the United States while accompanying his spouse in E-2 status.
