Korean nationals have E-2 treaty access through a treaty in force since 1956, and the Korean-American business community — particularly in the Pacific Northwest, Los Angeles, and New York — is one of the most active E-2 investor communities in the United States. Watson Immigration Law serves Korean investors across the United States from its Seattle base.
