E Visas: Treaty Trader and Investors

In order to qualify for an E visa, the applicant must provide proof that he or she is in a directorial or supervisory role within a company or firm engaged in substantial trade with the United States or that he or she intends to make a substantial investment in a company or firm in the United States. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate his or her intent to return to his or her home country when the E status terminates. 

In order for a company or firm to qualify under this classification, nationals of the applicant’s home country must own at least 50% of the business in question. To qualify for an E-2 Treaty Investor visa, the investment must involve risk and may not involve funds obtained through loans or mortgages. In addition, the funds in question must be irrevocably committed to a venture in the United States. 

Note: By signing the visa application form you are certifying that all the information contained in it is true and correct. If you misrepresent any facts, you could be barred from entering the United States. Please double-check that all your answers are accurate and that every question is answered completely.
