E-1 Trader Visas and E-2 Investment Visas are particularly valuable visas for business owners, managers, and employees who seek to stay in the United States for extended periods of time in order to oversee or work in an enterprise engaged in trade between the United States and a foreign state or that represents a major investment in the United States. The E nonimmigrant visas are available if there is a "treaty of commerce and navigation" or a "bilateral investment treaty".
The E-1 visa can be utilized for conducting trade between the United States and the country of majority ownership of the company. The E-2 visas can be utilized for overseeing investment in the United States. The E visa can be used by a diverse array of companies, from one owned by a single investor to a large multinational corporation. The E visa can be utilized by the company's principals or by its employees if as they are engaged in activities authorized by the applicable laws and regulations.
An initial period of stay of two years is provided to individuals entering the USA with an E-Visa, but this duration of time can be extended almost indefinitely as long as the E-Visa beneficiary affirms that he or she will leave the United States when the period of authorized stay, including unlimited extensions, expires.
