Описание: List of US Treaty Countries: https://travel.state.gov/content/trav...

In this video, Leisan shares her real experience of applying for an E-2 spouse (dependent) visa, focusing on work rights, employment options, and paperwork.

We’re a British–Russian couple, which raises a lot of questions around eligibility — especially because Russia is not an E-2 treaty country, while the UK is. This video explains how that works in practice and why a spouse’s nationality does not prevent them from moving to the US as an E-2 dependent.

We cover:
• How E-2 eligibility works for mixed-nationality couples
• Applying as a Russian spouse of a British E-2 main applicant
• How different the paperwork is for the main applicant vs the dependent
• Whether an E-2 spouse can work in the US
• Working for your spouse’s business
• Starting your own business or freelancing
• Being employed by a US company
• Why E-2 spouses can work immediately under current rules
• Why having the spouse employed can be a smart financial and long-term strategy

This video is especially useful for:
• UK citizens applying for an E-2 visa
• Russian spouses moving to the US on an E-2 dependent visa
• Couples planning a business move to the United States
• Anyone confused about E-2 spouse employment rights
