What is an E-1 Treaty Trader Visa?
The treaty trade visa (E-1) is very different from the immigrant investor visa (E-B2). Often the two types of visas are confused. E-1Treaty investor status is a nonimmigrant visa, that is, it is a temporary visa that can be continuously renewed. EB-2 is an immigrant visa. It is a permanent visa based on an investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates at least 10 full time jobs for U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens.
