The E-Visa Requirements

The E applicant must meet the following requirements:

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.

Who Can Apply for the E-Visa?

Nationals of the following countries may apply for the E-Visa:

Nationality of the E Treaty Enterprise

A person entering the United States as an E treaty investor or trader must be a national of the treaty enterprise. In employee cases, the employee and the treaty enterprise must be from the same treaty country. The country of incorporation is irrelevant to the application. All that matters is the nationality of the trader or investor.

Lawful permanent residents may not be counted towards nationality. The nationality used to enter the United States is the one that is used at the time of the application. For example, a dual national of Venezuela and Italy may not apply for an E visa if he entered using his Venezuelan passport.

E-1 Visas for International Traders

E-1 visas are available to nationals of the treaty country if they meet the following criteria:

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.

Employees of E-1 and E-2 Enterprises

The E enterprise may hire employees and grant them the E classification. The enterprise may petition on behalf of executives, supervisors, and essential employees.

An executive is principally an executive instead of someone whose job is incidentally or collaterally managerial. The executive must have significant authority to determine policy, terminate employees, supervise a substantial part of the company, have executive skills and experience, or have a considerable role.

Nonsupervisory employees must be essential to the operation of the enterprise.

Families of E Visa Holders

Family members of the E visa holder may be classified as E visa holders. Their nationality is irrelevant. Spouses of E-2 visa holders may obtain an employment authorization card. The employment authorization may be granted for two years. Additionally, children may not be employed but may attend school without changing status.

Procedures for Obtaining an E-Visa
