Investor Visas

E-1/E-2 Treaty Traders or Investors

Treaties between the United States and certain other countries allow nationals of those countries to come here to develop and direct an investment in the United States or to conduct trade with the United States. A treaty trader must conduct “substantial” trade between the treaty country and the United States. A treaty investor must make a “substantial” investment in the United States. There is no limit on the period of stay in treaty investor or treaty trader status, as long as the investment or trade continues.
