E visas - Complete Visa and Immigration Services for the Treaty Investor or Treaty Trader

E visas require the existence of a treaty of navigation and commerce between the United States and the investor’s home country. Please click here to see if your home country qualifies.

Henning Law evaluates your situation, advises you regarding the type of visa that best suits your needs, and prepares your visa application and the required supporting documentation. Even though the E-2 Treaty Investor requires a “substantial investment” into an active business concern, entrepreneurs are often surprised to learn that this amount may be less than they initially thought. In situations where new enterprises are established, Henning Law will help you establish a business and investment strategy that satisfies the requirements of the visa.

Treaty Traders have to show “substantial trade” in goods or services. A start-up company will have to show a history, so proper planning is required. We will evaluate your situation and determine whether your business dealings qualify for a treaty trader visa or suggest visa alternatives.

Visa renewals are a critical time for E-visa holders and their companies - the active nature of the company and its impact in the economy will be tested. At the end of the Treaty Investor or Treaty Trader visa period, we can prepare the necessary evidence and supporting documentation that verifies that your enterprise is an active concern that complies with U.S. requirements so that your visa is renewed.

Bonus: Spouses can apply for their own independent work authorization!
