Mr. Schunk offers detailed information and assistance on E visa issues to traders or investors from any country that has signed a “Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation” treaty with the United States.

Countries that have treaties with the US allowing their citizens to apply for E-1 treaty trader status include Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Costa Rica, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Many of these same countries have treaties qualifying their nationals for E-2, visas, as well -- along with others including Belarus, the Congo, the Czech Republic, Morocco, Panama, and Tunisia.

(Note: these are partial lists only. Consult with Mr. Schunk or a US consulate in your country to find out if your country has such as treaty with the US.)

Colorado employment visa lawyer Pascal C. Schunk is well qualified to assist E visa applicants in all phases of the application process, including:

• demonstrating that a business is going to be profitable enough to support the E treaty trader or treaty investment visa holder
   
• hiring employees (executives and managers, who will need their own E visas) to demonstrate the seriousness of the business or investment
   
• demonstrating that the money to be used to start the business or investment venture came from the applicant
   
• completing all other required features of a valid application.

An E visa status is one that can last a lifetime. Initial E visas that are obtained from abroad are 5-year visas issued by the State Department. Initial E visas that are obtained in the US are 2-year visas issued by the USCIS. In either case, visa extensions are available with no total time limitation.
