E-1 visa for investors
The E-1 nonimmigrant visa classification allows a national of a trade treaty country to be admitted to the United States solely to engage in international trade.
Requirements to apply for the E-1 visa

conducted between the United States and the treaty country that
qualified the trader.
If the trader wants to bring in an employee to

the same nationality as the employer, special skills and/or aptitudes
that make the employee's services essential to the efficient operation
of the treaty business commercial.
