What Is an E1 Visa?

The E1 visa, commonly known as a Treaty Trader Visa, allows someone to work legally in the United States or an affiliated organization where more than 50% of the business is traded between the United States and the home country.

For qualification, the applicant must work in this treaty environment and be engaged in the duties of an executive or supervisor role. The applicant must have a high-ranking position within that enterprise or have a specialized qualification that makes their services essential such as an executive or business owner.

For example, an individual may have their business established in Mexico and engage in a treaty business, like the trucking industry. Someone with trucking companies in Mexico may either establish a company here in the United States or be employed by a logistics company in the United States because of their unique qualifications. They provide an essential service to this industry or are a high-ranking official.

E1 visa holders can stay for up to two years, but they have no limit on their extensions. In addition, they can bring immediate family members with them. They must submit supporting documentation and attend an interview to prove they meet the strict criteria. Contact us to learn more.

What Is an E2 Visa?

The E2 visa holders are treaty investors who have invested substantial amounts of capital in a bona fide enterprise in the United States.

Applicants can invest in a business they intend to create by providing a business plan or investing that money in a pre-existing business, which helps facilitate the process.

The likelihood of success of the investment is critical to obtaining an E2 visa. As with the E1 visa, the person can bring their spouse or children, and the visa is renewable. It lasts for two years but can be renewed indefinitely as long as the business enterprise is successful and operating. Have questions? Reach out to us for fast answers!
