E1&E2 Visa
ja klar, hast ja recht mit diesen Eroerterungen - wenn man im business ist oder nen sponsor in den USA aufweisen kann und zazu mindestens 40K USD oder mehr investment in die Staaten mit einbringt - alles kein problem. Fuer ne schlappe Mille kannst du sogar ne Greencard kaufen ...
E1 visa and E2 visa (Treaty Visas)
Over the years the United States has signed treaties with most of the other countries in the world, in particular treaties of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation. These treaties are designed to promote trade and investment between the USA and the other contracting state, thereby encouraging good relations and peace. More recently the USA has entered into a number of Bilateral Investment Treaties with mainly former communist states, designed to promote investment but not generally conferring any trade-related immigration privileges.
Nationals (individuals or companies) of countries with such Treaties with the United States can obtain visas to work in the USA in order to develop and direct their investment in and/or trade with the USA. Such visas are called E-visas, and come in two types:-
The E1 Treaty Trader:
Nationals of qualifying Treaty countries who undertake a significant amount of international trade with the United States my qualify for this type of visa. The volume of such trade must be sufficient to justify the trader or his/her employee(s) being in the United States to manage the trade, and must constitute the majority of the traders international trade (i.e. at least 50% of the Traders exports/imports must be to/from the USA). There is no set minimum level of trade which is considered sufficient, but obviously the lower the volume of trade the less likely one is to qualify as a Treaty Trader.
The E2 Treaty Investor:
Nationals of qualifying Treaty countries who have made a significant investment in the United States may qualify for E2 Treaty Investor status. Like the E1 visa, there is no set minimum level of investment which may qualify for E2 visa status, but the lower the investment the less likely one is to qualify. Again, the level of investment must be sufficient to justify the treaty national (or his/her employees) presence in the United States. The investment must be in an operating business i.e. simply buying property or stocks and bonds does not qualify. Also, a substantial part of the investment must have been made before applying for E2 status.
Nationals of qualifying countries may apply for an E1 visa in order to 'Develop and Direct' import/export trade (of goods or services) between their own country and the US. They may also apply for E1 visas for
key managerial and specialist employees. Unlike the L1 visa, there is no requirement for such employees to have worked for the Trader for at least one year in the last three.
E1 visa registration applications center on the volume of trade between the USA and the Treaty country. The prospective Treaty Trader must demonstrate that:
There will be a substantial number of trade transactions between the US and the treaty country;
There will be a substantial dollar value to the trade between the US and the treaty country.
The majority of international (i.e. not including transactions within the Treaty country or within the US) trade transactions undertaken by the applicant (have been and) will be between the US and the treaty country.
The majority of the dollar value of trade (has been and) will be between the US and the treaty country
The trader (or his/her employees seeking E1 visas) has sufficient business acumen and experience to develop and direct the trade.
The trader, and any other E1 staff, are able and willing to leave the US upon termination of their E1 status.
The trader has a past history of conducting trade between the US and the treaty country
