If the idea of immigrating to the United States with your family is on your mind, it is crucial to consider a few aspects before starting the process. This is even more relevant if there are children in your family, since it would be discouraging to arrive in the United States only to discover that the little ones do not fit into the school you had in mind, or worse, that they must wait a whole year to resume their studies. This scenario, in addition to being frustrating, means losing a full year in their academic lives. Thus, December is presented as a strategic month to begin the emigration process, especially when the migratory route includes the investment in a franchise and the subsequent application for an E-2 visa. In this article, we will analyze the management times of the process to immigrate to the United States through an investor visa.
In addition, we share a video where Jaime Sánchez, CEO of Interlink FBC and expert in franchise investments, reveals why it is essential to start the process in December 2023 if you intend to emigrate before the start of the 2024 school year. Check it out now.
Why start your process as soon as possible:
Starting the migration process on these specific dates is not simply a suggestion, but a key strategy. Anticipating this precise period allows you to avoid possible changes in migration policies that could affect your process. In addition, response times from immigration authorities and embassies can vary, and starting at this time gives you the necessary margin to address any eventuality that may arise.
Below, we delve into the reasons behind this choice and how meticulous timing can make a difference in the immigration process. Read on to find out why getting ahead of the curve is the key to ensuring a smooth and timely transition.
Foresee to prevent
Foresight in the migration process provides the advantage of managing eventualities effectively. From possible changes in requirements to longer than estimated waiting periods, due to any inconvenience in the investment, delayed payment, etc., having an additional margin of time allows you to adapt to any situation, avoiding significant setbacks. Anticipation gives you the flexibility to face potential challenges, allowing you to land in the United States without setbacks.
Franchise acquisition times
Acquiring a franchise is a process that goes beyond simply choosing a business model. From researching different franchises to evaluating the associated costs, each step demands time and consideration. Starting this process early in advance gives you the opportunity to explore various options, negotiate terms and conditions carefully, and ensure that the franchise selected is the best fit for your goals and resources.
The essence of this period lies in the meticulous planning and execution. Every phase, from the franchise search to the opening of corporate bank accounts, contributes to building a solid foundation for your emigration project. On average, the process takes 3 to 4 months.
Thus, anticipation gives you the peace of mind of knowing that every detail is being addressed thoroughly, ensuring that the procedures are progressing efficiently and effectively. Starting now, you’ll be getting closer to the goal of settling with your family in the United States before the 2024 school year begins.

Investor Visa Application Process
Before we delve into the processing times of an investor visa, it is crucial to make it clear that, in order to apply for this visa, the investment in the chosen franchise must first have been made.
Now, applying for an investor visa is a critical step that also requires attention to detail and patience. Starting early not only allows you to gather the necessary documentation in an organized manner, but it also gives you time to address any complications that may arise. Keep in mind that, on average, document collection can take 1-4 months, and this depends on the franchise and its readiness to operate. Considering that the franchise must be ready to operate in order to apply for the investor visa, anticipation ensures that all legal and operational aspects are in place, meeting the necessary requirements for a successful application.
Visa Interview and Approval
The waiting times are not over yet. Although in countries such as Colombia or Chile the deadlines tend to be longer, in general, the assignment of the consular interview ranges between 1 and 4 months. The investor visa interview is the last crucial stage, and that’s why your strategic scheduling is critical. Starting the immigration process well in advance gives you the time you need to prepare properly, understanding potential questions, and ensuring that all documents are in order. The importance of synchronizing this phase with the start of the school year in the United States becomes a determining factor in planning your arrival in an optimal way.
Immigrate to the United States in 2024
In short, emigration through an investor visa and franchise acquisition demands careful planning from the start. Even more so if you are looking to immigrate to the United States with your family before the 2024 school year begins. Starting the migration process between December 2023 and January 2024 is essential to navigating the challenges that may arise.
