The E-1 visa is a nonimmigrant classification that allows nationals of treaty countries to enter the United States for the sole purpose of engaging in substantial international trade. This visa is available only to individuals from countries that have a qualifying treaty of commerce and navigation with the U.S., or that are recognized as eligible under applicable international agreements or legislation. E-1 visa holders must carry out trade primarily between the United States and their country of citizenship.

The E-2 visa permits individuals from treaty countries to enter the United States by making a substantial investment in a U.S. enterprise. This nonimmigrant visa is intended for foreign nationals who seek to develop and direct the operations of a business in which they have invested, or are in the process of investing, significant capital. Only citizens of countries with a qualifying treaty or international agreement may apply.

The L-1A visa is a nonimmigrant classification that enables U.S. companies to transfer executives or managers from affiliated offices abroad to a U.S. location. This visa also supports foreign businesses looking to establish a U.S. branch by allowing them to send a qualifying executive or manager to assist in setting up operations. The L-1A visa facilitates the movement of key personnel to ensure alignment across international business operations.
