Apply for a United States E-1 and E-2 Visa with a Skilled Attorney

If you come from a treaty country, you can engage in international trade in the United States through the E-1 visa. If you are an investor from a treaty country, you can use the E-2 visa to invest in the capital of U.S. businesses.

The terms and conditions of these visas may get confusing. The Law Offices of Michael J. Gurfinkel, Inc. can help you navigate this tedious and oftentimes, complicated process. We have legal experts that can strategize steps and ensure proper and timely processing of your E-1 or E-2 visa application.

WHAT IS AN E-1 VISA?

An E-1 visa allows you to trade with businesses in the United States if you come from a country that maintains a commerce treaty with the United States. Such countries include Argentina, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, and more.

This is a non-immigrant classification, so you only have a limited stay of around two years. Increments for extension are also two years.

An employee of your organization may get an E-1 visa under your company. Your spouse and unmarried children may also accompany you during your stay.

WHAT IS AN E-2 VISA?

An E-2 visa lets you invest in companies in the United States if you come from a treaty country, like Australia, Belgium, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, and others. It has the same non-immigrant status as E-1, so your stay in the U.S. is limited to two years.

To qualify for E-2, you must have invested or are investing a substantial amount of money in a U.S. enterprise. You must also be looking to enter the U.S. to develop and direct the company’s investment. You must have at least 50% ownership of the company.
