What are the requirements of an E1 Treaty Trader Visa?
The requirements are as follows: a. The applicant must have nationality of a treaty country. On the official U.S. State Department website, you can examine the list of treaty nations. b. The treaty nation and the United States must have substantial trade, which is defined as an ongoing flow of products or services. Transaction volume, frequency, and value all affect substantiality. c. Direct trade between the United States and the treaty country must account for more than half of all trade i.e 50% of overall trade.
Is it required to have a history of trade between the Treaty country and US?
The E1 visa is granted based on past and present trade. Therefore, evidence that you are currently importing or exporting goods or services to the United States will be required by the consulate. This covers invoices, bills of lading, receipts, and so forth.
What qualifies as ‘trade’ for E1 visa?
The features are as follows: a. The foreign business and the United States must “exchange” goods or services. b. Goods and services have to move “internationally.” c. The trade needs to be “substantial” and “existing.”
How long does it take to process an E1 visa?
The volume of work at the US embassy or consulate, the application’s complexity, and the applicant’s nationality are some of the elements that influence how long it takes to process an E1 visa. Applicants should anticipate a processing time of 60 days on average.
Can my E1 visa be renewed?
Indefinite stay extensions are available to holders of an E1 visa as long as they continue to fulfill the visa’s eligibility requirements. Depending on the particular treaty and the discretion of the immigration authorities, extensions are usually given in intervals of two to five years.
