Notes for Chinese applicants
IMPORTANT: there is NO US-China E-2 treaty, so mainland Chinese citizens CANNOT apply directly. This is exactly why Grenada and Turkey citizenship are in this database — clients acquire an E-2-treaty nationality first, then apply. Fast (2-4 mo), renewable indefinitely, requires a real active business (substantial investment, often ~$100k+). Not a green card; no direct citizenship path.
