E-1 Treaty Trader Petition Brian Lerner

Are you an entrepreneur? Want expand your current business into the U. S. and trade with the U. S.? Don't have $1,000,000 for the EB-5? Don't have $100,000 for an E-2 Treaty Investor? If you have already been trading with the U. S., then the E-1 Treaty Trader Visa may be the best option for you. The amount of the investment is much less important and you can come to the U. S. to pursue your dreams. Assuming your from a treaty country, the E-1 Treaty Trader Visa gives you everything you need for the best chance for approval. It includes all relevant cover letters, forms, exhibits, business plan, and supporting evidence. It has been prepared by an expert Immigration attorney. Thus this book will allow you to see a guide of how it's done, prepared and submitted.




Only certain countries will qualify for the E-1 and they must have a treaty with the United States. However, assuming that you are a citizen of that country, the E-1 can proceed forward. In fact, if you have your own business and you already do business with the United States, it is a perfect opportunity to get the E-1. The amount of the 'investment' is simply not very important for the E-1. Rather, it is the 'trade' that you or your company does with the United States. Many people will jump and go for the L-1 instead of the E-1. However, there are some definite advantages to the E-1. First, you do not need prior USCIS approval inside the U. S. You can have the application sent initially and only to the U. S. Consulate or Embassy in your home country. This means you can get approval much faster. Also, there is a dedicated E Unit at most Consulates. This means that you will get people adjudicating your petition that really know what they are doing. Next, the L-1 is having problems because the approval rates are low and it is harder to adjudicate. If you are trading with the U. S., then the E-1 is the way to go.
