Benefits for family members of an E1 Treaty Trader Visa holder

Upon approval of the immigrant visa petition, the individual and his/her spouse and children under 21 years of age may apply for their immigrant visas either through adjustment of status in the United States or through consular processing at a U.S. Consulate outside of the United States. Also, it is important to note that the E1 Treaty Trader Investor visa provides for a waiver of the job offer requirement if it can be established that such a waiver would be in the national interest of the United States.

As a final note, I must tell you that the application and processing for an E1 Treaty Trader visa is highly complex and much is at stake if any errors are made. As I have warned in other places on this website, one wrong move in the immigration procedure of applying for the E1 Treaty Trader visa can blow your chances of ultimately obtaining your green card and US citizenship.

To prevent any fatal error in the procedure of obtaining your E1 Treaty Trader visa that may potentially harm your chances of getting a green card and ultimately citizenship, I strongly recommend you contact an immigration attorney in the USA to obtain legal representation and counsel for these procedures with the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Be informed. Knowledge is power!
