E Visa
Virginia & Maryland

The E visa is primarily for those people who want to come to the US for an extended period of time to oversee or work in an business that is engaged in trade between the US and a foreign state or has a major investment in the United States.

People who apply for an E visa are primarily business owners, managers and employees who need to stay in the US for a lengthy period of time. To obtain an E visa, there must be a “treaty of commerce and navigation” or a bilateral investment treaty between the US and the foreign state.
