E Visas (Treaty Traders and Investors): Unlocking Business Opportunities in the United States

Welcome to the “E Visas (Treaty Traders and Investors)” page at The Ahluwalia Firm. If you are a foreign national looking to engage in international trade or invest in a U.S.-based enterprise, the E Visa category may be your gateway to pursuing business opportunities in the United States. Our team of immigration attorneys specializes in assisting treaty traders and investors in navigating the intricacies of E Visas, ensuring a smooth path to economic growth and prosperity.

Understanding E Visas

E Visas are a category of non-immigrant visas designed to promote international trade and investment between the United States and countries that maintain treaties of commerce and navigation with the U.S. These visas are available to individuals from treaty countries who seek to engage in substantial trade or make a significant investment in a U.S.-based enterprise. E Visas come in two primary categories:

E-1 Visa (Treaty Trader): This visa is intended for individuals or businesses engaged in substantial international trade between their home country and the United States. To qualify, the trade must be principally between the treaty country and the U.S.

E-2 Visa (Treaty Investor): Designed for individuals who plan to make a substantial investment in a U.S.-based business. The investment must be in an active, operating enterprise, and the investor must have a significant financial stake.

Key Benefits of E Visas

E Visas offer numerous advantages, making them an attractive choice for treaty traders and investors:

Flexibility: E Visa holders can work and live in the United States while engaging in their approved trade or investment activities.

Renewability: E Visas can typically be renewed indefinitely, as long as the trade or investment activities continue to meet the visa requirements.

Dependents: E Visa holders can bring their immediate family members (spouse and unmarried children under 21) to the U.S. on E visas, and family members can also obtain work authorization.

Ease of Entry: The visa application process is generally streamlined for treaty traders and investors from qualifying treaty countries.
