The
Requirements and Qualifications for E-1 Visa Application |
| Hi
William, I would like to apply for E-1 visa to work for a small company in U.S. What are the requirements and qualifications for E-1 visa application? Answer, The E-1 treaty trader visa is a nonimmigrant visa which allows foreign nationals of a treaty nation to enter into the U.S. and carry out substantial trade. A treaty trader belongs to a nation that maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation or a bilateral agreement with the U.S. Trade includes commercial transactions in goods and trade in services and technology like banking, insurance, transportation, tourism, communications, data processing, advertising, accounting, design and engineering, management consulting, technology transfer and other measurable services which may be traded. The following are the requirements to qualify for E1 visa: • You are
an executive, manager or specialist in a treaty nation
company operating in the U.S., or you own 50 per cent of the company;
• The nationals of your country own at least 50 per cent of the stock of the company i.e. the firm has the nationality of the treaty country; • You are a citizen of a treaty trade country, and are involved in international trade; • You are the immediate family members of a principle E-1 visa holder. On E-1 visa, you may: •
Work legally in the U.S. for a U.S. company where more than 50
per cent of the business is trade between the U.S. and your home
country;
• Travel freely in and out of the U.S; • Stay in the U.S. on a prolonged basis with unlimited two year extensions as long as you maintain E-1 qualifications; • Bring your dependents along to the U.S. Your spouse can also work in the U.S. |
