This is an illustrative scenario: the people and details are for explanation only and are not a real client case. Every family’s outcome depends on its background and the policies in force at the time.
Background
Mr Peng (pseudonym), Taipei, runs an e-commerce business. He hoped to run a business in the US in future.
Main concern
He assumed he could apply for an E-2 straight after gaining citizenship.
Our approach
We explained the three-year residence requirement introduced by US legislation in 2022, and planned Grenadian citizenship separately from his long-term US business plans.
Process and outcome
He received Grenadian citizenship and is planning his E-2 timeline realistically.
Adviser’s comment
There is a residence requirement between citizenship by investment and an E-2 — plan it honestly.
Grenada citizenship application process
