The E-Visa Requirements
The E applicant must meet the following requirements:
- Must be entering the United States
- Based upon a treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation, or other arrangements
- The person must be entering the United States for the following reasons:
- Solely to carry on substantial international trade (E-1 treaty trader)
- Solely to develop and direct the operations of a treaty enterprise in which the investor has or is in the process of investing (E-2 treaty investor)
- As a key employee from a treaty country of either E-1 or E-2
- As a principal executive and employer of an enterprise with at least 50% of shares owned by treaty nationals
- A dependent of one of the abovementioned individuals
The E visa holder must show that he is coming to the United States for a specific period. They must have an intention to depart and nothing more.
As mentioned above, some treaties have specific requirements not included in other treaties. An applicant must submit a business plan. E-visa holders may adjust their status by including form I-508 with their adjustment of status application to waive any treaty protections.
E-1 Visas for International Traders
E-1 visas are available to nationals of the treaty country if they meet the following criteria:
- The applicant must show that the treaty exists
- The applicant must be a national of the treaty country
- The activities constitute trade under the Immigration & Nationality Act
- The trade is substantial and is between the US and the treaty country
- The applicant must leave the United States after the E-1 status terminates
Trade is defined as the international exchange of goods between the United States and the treaty country of which the trader is a national. Goods could be tangible and non-tangible goods and services. The trade must also be ongoing, and the applicant must show that it was so at the time of the application.
The trade must also be principally between the United States and the treaty country. Employees of the trading company can be new hires and do not have to have worked with the company but must be treaty nationals.
