E-Visa Your Dream is My Dream

Tampa, FL E-Visa Attorney

E visas are nonimmigrant visas issued to individuals who engage in international trade or investment activities in the United States. These visas are designed to promote and facilitate commerce between the U.S. and treaty countries. 

The American Dream® Law Office is your law firm for E visas. These visas are an excellent option for international traders and international investors looking for a lower investment amount. 

The E visa is open to international traders and investors from certain countries with treaties with the United States. Some of these treaties require specific investment amounts and are limited in duration. Hiring E-visa Attorney Ahmad Yakzan can ensure that your application is submitted correctly; his representation increases your chances of getting your visa approved by the government.

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

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.
