Whether you’re an established business seeking to expand into the U.S. market or an entrepreneur looking to launch a new venture, this comprehensive guide will provide you with the essential information you need to understand the E-1 visa requirements, benefits, and application process.
The E-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa designed for citizens of countries with a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. It allows these individuals to enter the U.S. to engage in “substantial trade,” which is defined as a continuous flow of international trade.
Our team of experts combines knowledge of U.S. immigration law with a deep understanding of international trade regulations. We craft E1 Visa applications that highlight the significance of your trade activities, positioning you for success.
We recognize that every business is unique. Our specialists take the time to understand your trade activities, business model, and goals. We then develop a tailored strategy that aligns with E1 Visa requirements and maximizes your chances of approval.
From determining your eligibility to preparing your application, we provide end-to-end support throughout the E1 Visa process. Our services include documentation preparation, legal representation, and ongoing assistance with visa renewals.
To qualify for an E-1 visa, you must meet several key criteria:
You must be a citizen of a treaty country.
This is measured in terms of volume, value, and frequency of transactions, not just monetary value.
More than 50% of the total volume of international trade must be between the U.S. and the treaty country.
You must be coming to the U.S. to engage in trade on your own behalf, or be a key employee of a trading company.
