Category E-1 Visa

International trade is the lifeblood of the global economy. If your business relies on the continuous exchange of goods, services, or technology between the United States and your home country, the E-1 Treaty Trader Visa offers a streamlined path to oversee your operations on American soil. Unlike other employment visas, the E-1 allows eligible principals and key employees to work in the U.S. indefinitely, provided the trading relationship remains active.

At Clinch Law Firm, we specialize in the complex accounting and legal structuring required for E-1 success. We help you demonstrate that you meet the strict ‘Substantial Trade’ volume requirements and prove that over 50% of your international trade occurs between the U.S. and your treaty country. Whether you are shipping physical commodities or providing international banking, consulting, or technology services, we build the legal foundation to keep your goods and services moving across borders.
