E-1 Treaty Trader
Managers and skilled employees engaging in substantial trade (at least 50%) with the U.S. Two-year validity, indefinitely renewable.
E-1 / E-2 / E-3 Visas
Treaty traders, investors, and Australian specialists.
E visas are available to nationals of countries with U.S. treaties of commerce and navigation. They're a fast-to-approve, renewable path for people doing substantial business with the United States.
The three E visas
E-2 Treaty Investor
Substantial investment to develop or direct a U.S. business; must hold a manager or supervisor role. Two-year terms, renewable.
E-3 Specialty Occupation
Reserved for Australian citizens; similar requirements to the H-1B. Two-year grants, indefinite renewals.
Why E visas work
No annual lottery
Unlike H-1B, E visas have no cap and no March deadline.
Family included
Spouses and children receive the same E status; spouses can work.
Indefinite renewals
As long as the qualifying business continues, E visas roll.
Consular processing
E visas are typically processed directly at the U.S. consulate.
