Treaty Trader & Investor Visa Services

Strategic Immigration Solutions for International Business Expansion

The E-1 Treaty Trader and E-2 Treaty Investor visa classifications provide a more flexible pathway for nationals of treaty countries to live and work in the United States based on substantial trade with, or investment in, a U.S. enterprise.

These visa options are ideal for entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors who seek to establish or expand business operations in the United States.

Overview of the Treaty Trader/Investor Visa Process

1. Determine Eligibility
The applicant must be a national of a country that maintains a qualifying treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. The business must involve “substantial trade” with (E-1) or a “substantial investment” (E-2) in the United States.

2. Structure the Business Entity
The U.S. enterprise must be a real, active, and operating commercial venture. Ms. Hall provides guidance on the appropriate business structure and documentation required to demonstrate compliance.

3. Prepare the Petition Package
Ms. Hall assists in compiling a comprehensive visa petition, including proof of nationality, ownership, investment or trade activity, and the applicant’s executive or supervisory role in the business.

4. Submit to Consulate or USCIS
E visa applications are typically filed through the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad. In certain cases, a change of status may be filed with USCIS if the applicant is already in the U.S.

5. Visa Interview and Adjudication
Ms. Hall will guide you through the interview process, ensuring that all supporting materials are in order and that you are well-prepared for consular review.
