Grenada - USA E-2 Visa Program
* E-2 Visa "Foreign investors in CBI programs will have to reside
in Grenada for 3 years first"
The USA E-2 visa allows entrepreneurs from a treaty country (such as Grenada) to come to the USA to open and operate a business. It does not lead directly to permanent residency, but rather can be extended indefinitely, and may provide applicants with options to obtain a green card while on E-2 status. The E-2 visa allows a spouse and unmarried children (under age 21) to enter the USA with the principal applicant, and to work or attend school.
