The E categories are for foreign nationals involved in international trade or investments between the U.S. and the foreign national’s country, provided that the United States has an appropriate trading relationship with that country. The E-1 is not a petition-based visa. Rather, the E category is granted through application, and the foreign national may apply for an E-1 Visa directly to a U.S. consular office abroad. The E-1 classification is authorized for a national of a country with which the United States has a commercial treaty, who is coming to the U.S. solely to engage in trade of a substantial nature principally between the United States and the foreign national’s country of nationality. The trade involved must be international exchange of items of trade between the U.S. and a treaty country. Title to the trade item must pass from one treaty party to the other.
