As advocates for entrepreneurs and investors, we understand how crucial it is to obtain the appropriate visa in order to achieve your business objectives. In this guide, we will explore the E-1 visa, which is a critical path for those who engage in significant international trade. Our objective is to give you a thorough understanding of the E-1 visa so that you can make informed choices.
The Treaty Trader visa, or E-1 visa, is designed for people who do significant international trade between the United States and their home country. This visa is granted by a treaty of commerce and navigation between the United States of America and the country of nationality of the applicant.
The time required to obtain an E-1 visa depends on the individual circumstances and processing times. The process can typically take several weeks to several months. Initial processing times vary depending on the consulate or U.S. embassy where the application is submitted, as well as the number of applications that they handle.
The E-1 visa fee includes any additional costs related to legal representation, document preparation, and related services, as well as the filing fee for Form DS-160. To ensure that our clients are fully aware of all costs associated with Immigaid, we collaborate closely with them. We also provide clear fee arrangements.
Applicants must satisfy certain requirements in order to be eligible for the E-1 visa, which include:
Nationality: A national of a nation that has a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States must be the applicant.
Substantial Trade: The United States and the applicant’s home country must have a substantial and persistent trade of technology, goods, or services.
Principal Trader: A principal trader—an individual or a company with at least 50% ownership by nationals of the treaty country—must be the applicant.

No, the E-1 visa is only for citizens of countries that have a treaty of commerce and navigation with the US.
Although there is no definite minimum, the trade must be extensive, consistent, and fulfill the requirements of the treaty.
Yes, spouses and unmarried children under 21 are allowed to travel to the United States with E-1 visa holders.
People who are already in the United States may request to convert their status to E-1 in certain circumstances. Consultation with an immigration attorney, however, is essential.
As per the treaty, only those with an E-1 visa can work for the employer or company that is the principal trader.
There is no annual limit for E-1 visas. The amount of qualified applicants determines how many visas are granted.
As long as the qualifying trade adheres to the treaty requirements, E-1 visa holders can request extensions.
