Treaty (E) Visas
Immigration Attorneys in Los Angeles, Lawyer, Lawyer, Attorney > Work Permits and Employment Authorization > Treaty (E) Visas
E visas are available to individuals or companies from certain countries with which the United States has a treaty to encourage trade and investment. E visas are usually issued for five years. Extensions of stay in the United States may be obtained as long as eligibility continues. The applicant must be the nationality of the treaty country (or for a company, more than 50% owned by national of the treaty country). (You may call Tasoff and Tasoff for current information on treaty countries.) For the Treaty Trader Visas (E-1) there must be substantial trade conducted between the United States and the treaty country. Trade includes the exchange, purchase or sale of goods or services or the transfer of technology. Individual applicants must be the principal trader or an executive, manager or employee with special skills essential to the company. The Treaty Investor Visas (E-2) requires that the individual or company makes a substantial at risk investment in a business in the United States. The amount of the minimum investment depends on the nature of the enterprise. The investor must show additional income derived from other sources than the investment. The individual must be the principal, or an executive, manager or employee with special skills essential to the company. Spouses and unmarried children under 21 years of age of the principal may be granted status to remain in the United States and can also qualify for employment authorization.
