E1 E2 E3 Visa USA

The E1, E2, and E3 visas make possible for a foreign treaty trader, treaty investor, and Australian specialty occupation worker to enter the USA and work in the country. They can get these visas from a US Embassy or Consulate located in their own country. Apart from that, a company in the USA can also file a petition for changing status to E1, E2, and E3 for a non immigrant that is already in the US. The United States Citizenship Immigration Services (USCIS) manages the status change and stay extension requests for a non immigrant whose company has made such requests.

All candidates must consult experienced an immigration consultants to prepare their application for the US immigration Program. It happens quite often that many eligible prospective immigrants face rejections because they present and complete their applications badly, mostly missing the required documents. An immigration expert not only helps its clients complete and submit their application properly with proper documents, they also provide useful guidelines and advice necessary for the probable immigrant.

E1 Visa

An E1 visa makes possible for its holder who is a national of one of the treaty countries (listed below) to visit the US and trade in many industries. If a candidate wants to trade in the US representing a country, the company needs to be minimum 50% owned by those who are nationals of treaty countries. Apart from this, the candidates have positions of main responsibility to be eligible for the E1 visa. In simple words, the applicants have to be key workers in the operation of the company as an executive, supervisor, or an individual having some specialized skills for applying. And, the trade amount between the US and the treaty country must be in a huge amount. This trade has to be huge and continuous.

E2 Visa

An E2 Visa is also known as the investor visa used to make an investment in the US. An individual or company has to invest in the US in a huge amount that plays an important role in the economy of the country. Investment in a small volume for making money for the investor and any dependents or family is ineligible for this visa. The investing company has to be a real enterprise rather than being a paper company. The person making investment has to be a national of any treaty country. if a company is investing, that has to be 50% owned by the people who are nationals of any treaty country. Besides that, only a key employee, executive, supervisor, or well-specialized individuals are allowed to apply for this visa. Any employee who is not playing an important role in the investment can’t be eligible for this visa.

E3 Visa

An E3 visa is quite different from an E1 and E2 visas. The main condition of this visa is a nationality rather than trading or investing. Only Australian nationals can be eligible for this visa. Barring that, an Australian candidate needs to work in a specialty occupation requiring extensive knowledge gained through tough training or education. The level of this education should be high like a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree. As far as the dependents of an Australian national like the spouse or unmarried children below 21 are also eligible despite not being Australian citizens.
