Your Gateway to E-1 Visa Success

Step Into Part 2 with the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram

Welcome to Part 2 of the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram’s E-1 Treaty Trader visa series! We’re pleased to guide you through which countries qualify, paving the way for your business aspirations in the U.S.

Uncertain About Global Eligibility? Let’s Clarify

Wondering if your country qualifies for an E-1 visa? The U.S. has established treaties with many nations, but not all—Albania, for instance, has an E-2 but not an E-1 treaty. Our clients often seek clarity, and we’re here to help.

Mapping Your E-1 Treaty Countries

The U.S. maintains E-1 treaties with countries like Argentina, Australia, Canada, Japan, and the UK (since 1815). Most offer 60-month terms with unlimited renewals, though Jordan limits to 3 months. Review our list to confirm your eligibility.

*Nationals From Countries Marked in Red Should Consider the EB5 as a Better Option

Drawing on Proven Expertise

Attorney Chris Ingram, who immigrated from England to the U.S. in 1999, brings personal insight. E-1 status requires your nationality to align with your business’s (e.g., 50% ownership by a treaty national). Companies listed on treaty country stock exchanges also qualify employees. “We know the rules,” says Ingram.

Unlocking Your Business Potential

If nationality mismatches arise, consider L-1A or L-1B visas as alternatives. Our next session will define “trade” for E-1 applications, while Part 7 covers renewals in detail.

A Partnership Built on Understanding

Navigating corporate and personal nationality can be complex, but our team ensures your case succeeds. “Your goals drive us,” notes Ingram.
