The Treaty Trader (E1) or Treaty Investor (E2) visa is for a national of a country with which the United States maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation who is coming to the United States to carry on substantial trade, including trade in services or technology, principally between the United States and the treaty country, or to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which the national has invested, or is in the process of investing a substantial amount of capital.
Treaty Trader (E-1) visa classification allows nationals of a treaty country to be admitted to the United States to engage in international trade between United States and the treaty country.
Treaty Investor (E-2) visa classification allows nationals of a treaty country to be admitted to the United States when investing a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business.
By investing in the U.S. or conducting trade between U.S. and treaty country, you may have the opportunity to live and work in the U.S. with your family (including your spouse and your children under 21 years of age) if you are the national of a country that the U.S. has a Treaty with such as Turkey.
