Can I Bring Family Mambers to U.S.? and Does an E-1 Visa Lead to a U.S. Green Card?

Hi William,

My E-1 visa application is in the process now. Can I bring my family and can they work in the U.S.? Also, does an E-1 visa lead to a U.S. Green Card?

Answer,

As a E-1 visa holder, your spouse and children, unmarried and under the age of 21, can also apply for an E-1 visa. If your spouse wants to work in the U.S., he or she will have to apply for a work authorization.

An E-1 Visa is a non-immigrant visa, and does not lead to a U.S. Green Card. While it does not lead to a Green Card, the E visa is often approved for a 5-year period. As long as the business is still in operation, you can renew the visa indefinitely.

If you qualify for another U.S. Green Card category, such as EB2 NIW (U.S. National Interest Waiver) or EB-5, you can explore the best way to apply for the U.S. Green Card.
