How Do I Qualify for an E-1 Visa to Work on the Tourism Business in U.S.?

Hi William,

As a manager of an UK company with tourism business in the Unied States, how do I qualify for an E-1 visa to working on the business in U.S.?

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.                            
 
You may qualify for E-1 visa if:

• 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.
