TREATY TRADERS & TREATY INVESTORS
Section 101(a)(15)(E) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides non-immigrant visa
status for a national of any of the countries with which the United States maintains an
appropriate treaty of commerce and navigation, who is:
(i) coming to the United States to carry on substantial trade, including trade in services
or technology, principally between the United States and the treaty country, or
(ii) to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which the national has
invested, or
(ii) is actively in the process of investing a substantial amount of capital in a bona
fide enterprise in the United States, as distinct from a relatively small amount of
capital in a marginal enterprise solely for the purpose of earning a living.

Duration of stay:
A visa is not a guarantee of entry into the U.S. The
Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (BCBP) officer at the port of entry determines
whether or not you may enter and the authorized duration of stay. If you hold a category "E" visa, you may live
in the U.S. only as long as the business remains a real and active enterprise and the
ownership remains intact. This is not an immigrant visa!
