E-1 Treaty Trader VisaThe E-1 Treaty Trader visa is a non-immigrant visa for nationals from countries having a treaty with the U.S. E-1 treaty countries include Australia, Iran, UK, Canada, Spain, Italy, Colombia, Greece, Brunei, Pakistan, Philippines, Honduras, Ireland, France, Thailand, Taiwan and many others. There are many requirements in order to qualify for an E-1 Treaty Trader Visa. First, the applicant must be from a treaty country. Second, the company/firm in the United States must have the nationality of the treaty country. Third, the company/firm must be involved in a substantial amount of international trade, and the trade must be primarily between the United States and the treaty country. Substantial trade is continuous and ongoing. Finally, the applicant must be employed in an executive, managerial or supervisory capacity for the company/firm.
The term "trade" is defined to include commercial intercourse in goods and trade in services and technology. Trade includes insurance, transportation, banking, tourism, data processing, advertising, accounting, and management consulting among other things. Trade must already be in progress when the visa application is filed. Although the E-1 Treaty Trader visa is a temporary non-immigrant visa valid for two year periods, E-1 Treaty Traders may reside in the United States as long as they continue to meet E-Visa qualifications. Extensions are available indefinitely. Derivative E-visas are available to spouses and children under age 21. Although spouses are permitted to work in the United States, children of E-1 visa holders are not entitled to work authorization. < Back to General Employment-Based Immigration Information I'm new to Orange County and wanted an attorney to help with my immigration process and found Jay on the internet. All his reviews were positive and after all he did for me and my husband we understand why. He is a great professional, very helpful and friendly. He answered all our questions and guided us trough the whole process. He was always available and promptly replied when we had a question. Fabiana was also really helpful in every step of the way and always super friendly. I'm really glad I found this firm and I recommend them wholeheartedly to anybody who needs legal help. -Daphne Z. =========================== Hi, my name is Luis Cornielles, I have been literally struggling and spending all the money I don’t have trying to solve my immigration problem from years. Since the beginning, I hired only the best and supposedly “expert” immigration attorneys I could afford, unfortunately, all of them gave me nothing but broken promises and left me without a dollar in my pocket. I would like to dedicate this review not only to a great attorney, but to those who are desperate and hopelessly searching for help. Mr. Jay is not only an excellent professional with a solid and unquestionable knowledge in immigration laws, but also an honest human being with a big heart; this man did in a few months what six lawyers could not do in 12 years. His reputation precedes him. As many others in this forum, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the man that has just changed the course of my life for good... Jay, you gave me my life back. Thank you so much! Now, for those who are looking for the best immigration attorney out there, from the bottom of my heart and without any doubt, I recommend you The Nunez Firm. Just be honest and trust this man, the results will be outstanding. Best of luck to everyone, Luis Cornielles. |
