The L-1 work visa is a nonimmigrant visa which allows foreign nationals being transferred by their current employer to enter into the U.S. to manage an organization or a major function or division of an organization.
Substantial trade is that volume sufficient to ensure continuous flow (numerous transactions over time) of international trade between the U.S. and treaty country. There is no value or volume minimum. However, smaller businesses are expected to yield income sufficient to support the treaty trader and his or her family.
When over 50 per cent of the volume of the treaty trader's international trade is conducted between the U.S. and the country of nationality it is termed as principal trade.
The limitations of E-1 visa are:
1. You are restricted to working only for the specific employer or self-owned business that acted as your E-1 visa sponsor
2. Visas are available only to foreign nationals of countries having trade treaties with the U.S.
3. Visas are approved for two years at a time which makes the application or extension process cumbersome
Majority ownership or control of the investing or trading company must be held by treaty-country nationals (the company or individual in trade or commerce must have the same nationality as the treaty country). The nationality of the company engaging in trade or investment is the nationality of those persons who own at least 50% of the stock of the corporation; The nationality of the persons owning the corporate stock is their country of citizenship. Note, however, that foreign nationals (who are nationals of the treaty country) who are also U.S. permanent residents cannot be counted towards determining at least 50% ownership.
