Launch Your U.S. Trade with the E-1 Visa

Start Your American Dream Today

Welcome to the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram’s E-1 Treaty Trader Visa video! We’re excited to guide you through this visa’s benefits and requirements, helping you decide if it’s your path to managing trade in the U.S.

What Is the E-1 Visa?

The E-1 Visa enables you to relocate to the U.S. to oversee substantial trade between your home country and the U.S. Unlike the E-2 visa, no job creation is required—just proof of significant trade. Plus, your spouse can apply for a U.S. work permit!

E-1 Visa Requirements

1. Treaty Countries: Your home country must have an E-1 treaty with the U.S. We’ll share the full list to confirm eligibility.

2. Trade with the U.S.: Your business must engage in qualifying trade—we’ll clarify what counts.

3. Substantial Trade: Prove your trade volume meets USCIS standards.

4. Majority U.S. Trade: At least 50% of your international trade must be with the U.S. We’ll explore solutions if you’re close to this threshold.

5. Employee Transfers: Large companies can send executives or specialists to manage U.S. operations.

6. Temporary Residency: E-1 visas last up to five years, with potential Green Card pathways later.
