What is a E-2C visa ?
28
The E-2C visa, also known as the CNMI-Only Investor visa, allows foreign investors to reside in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) while they resolve their immigration status. This visa is specifically designed to facilitate the transition from the CNMI's local permit system to the US immigration system, providing a pathway for long-term investors to remain lawfully in the CNMI.
E-2C visas are initially valid for two years and extendable through December 31, 2029, which represents the congressionally mandated end date of the CNMI's immigration transition period, after which the E-2C classification will cease to exist.
The State Department does not maintain a cap on E-2C visas.
