Beneficiary

Alert

1. The E-1 US visa, initially, is generally issued for a five-year period. You can obtain E1 status extensions for up to two years at a time from the USCIS. Since there is no limit on the number of extensions you may obtain, you can stay in the U.S. indefinitely;

2. Spouses and/or children under the age of 21 who wish to accompany or join you in the U.S. for the duration of your stay can apply for E-1 visas. Your spouse may also be eligible to take up employment during his/her stay in the U.S. by applying for an employment authorization document;

3. "Trade" refers not only to tangible goods but also to technology, services, banking, law, insurance, international transportation. The amount of trade must be substantial, and is judged by dollar amount, volume and frequency;

4. An application for initial admission, change of status, or extension of stay in E-1 Visa classification may not be denied solely on the basis of an approved request for permanent labor certification or a filed or approved immigrant visa preference petition.
