The E-1 visa is designed for business owners whose company already has substantial, ongoing trade with the United States — whether in goods, services or technology — between a treaty country and the U.S.

How the Process Works
1
We document your trade
We gather evidence of the existing trade flow between your company and the United States: invoices, contracts and transaction records.
2
We verify the trade ratio
We confirm that more than 50% of your company’s total international trade is with the United States.
3
We file the application
We handle the petition before the consulate for your E-1 treaty country.
4
You obtain your E-1 visa
Once approved, you can live in the United States and run your trade operations directly from the country.
