On Monday US President Barack Obama signed a law that adds Israel to
the list of countries whose citizens are eligible to receive E2
investor visas. Among those eligible for the investors' visa are
businesspeople and representatives of companies who have made
significant investments in the United States or opened businesses
there. Between the years of 2000 and 2010, Israeli investments in the
United States totaled $58.5 billion, placing Israel among the top 20
countries investing in the US.
