To qualify for E-1 classification, the treaty trader must:
✓ Be a national of a country with which the United States maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation or with which the United States maintains a qualifying international agreement, or which has been deemed a qualifying country by legislation;
✓ Carry on substantial trade; and
✓ Carry on principal trade between the United States and the treaty country which qualified the treaty trader for E-1 classification.
If you are exchanging items between the United States and a recognized treaty country, you may be able to qualify for the E-1 Treaty Visa classification. Items approved include but are not limited to: goods; services; international banking; insurance; transportation; tourism; technology and its transfer; some news-gathering activities and more.
Applicant Treaty traders and employees may be accompanied or followed by spouses and unmarried children who are under 21 years of age if their applications are approved. Their spouses and unmarried children’s nationalities are not required to be the same as that of the Applicant treaty trader or employee. Spouses and children may seek E-1 nonimmigrant classification as dependents and, if approved, generally will be granted the same period of stay as the employee.
The E-2 Treaty Visa is available to investors who are nationals of a country with which the United States has a treaty of commerce and navigation. These investors must have already invested or be actively in the process of investing, a substantial amount of money in a business located in the United States. Investors seek to gain lawful entry into the United States by developing and directing the business or investment. The intricacies and nuances of this visa along with the amount of time you are interested in being lawfully in the United States need to be understood and discussed before engaging in the time-consuming application process. This visa requires all applicants maintain an intention to depart the United States when their lawful status expires or is terminated.
