Treaty Trader Visas

A treaty trader visa is an E-1 Visa. You can get one of these if your country trades with the U.S. or has a trade treaty with the U.S. and you do over $200,000-$500,000 in trades. You can get one of these if you are a business person from a country with a trade treaty with the U.S. It is good for 2 years with unlimited extensions. Your spouse can work but your children cannot work. You have to at least be a 50% owner of the company that employs you or be a key employee. And most of your company's trade must be with the United States. Check the Foreign Affairs manual to see if your country has a treaty with the U.S.
