Are you a nonimmigrant looking to initiate international trade between the U.S and your home country? If so, then an E1 Visa is the way to move forward. Explore an E1 Visa as an avenue for international trade smoothly between the U.S. and your home country. Our team has ample experience working with E-1 visa lawyers to help clients build businesses to obtain residency in the United States.

What is the E1 visa?

An E-1 visa is a treaty visa for nonimmigrants to easily trade between their home country and the U.S. It doesn’t matter if you’re a resident or non-resident of the United States to get a visa, you just need to be the Founder or CEO of your organization. Certain employees of the organization may also be eligible to get the visa upon the organization’s behalf. The applicant of the E1 visa should be a national of the treaty country, and own at least 50 percent of the enterprise.

What are the E1 visa requirements?

USCIS has detailed the E1 visa to green card requirements for approval and left it to each applicant  and their E1 visa lawyer to fulfill. A E-1 Visa business plan adds value to your application and creates a stronger case for entry to the U.S. through this immigration pathway.

Apart from that, some key requirements are:

• Market Analysis (assessment of a market for the development of business)
• 5-year Financial and Sales Analysis (financial viability of a trade operation)

Financial viability of the trade operation helps USCIS foresee how willing the individual is to continue pursuing this avenue of immigration. The visa expires after 2 years, and furthermore, this financial stability increases the chances for renewal.

Moreover, a business plan serves to provide supplementary and detailed information about the business on how the trade will be conducted by describing the transportation channels, sourcing details, and product descriptions. Additionally, the business plan demonstrates that the company has the potential to establish and survive for a longer period of time, which will increase the chances of securing future visa extensions.

Where can I find business plan templates for the visa E1?

One resource we recommend is the SBA’s guide on writing business plans which can be an effective introduction if you have not undertaken this task for your visa E1. The SBA provides business plans, and other templates, which can be adapted for future needs. Additionally, we provide a sample business plan for use.
