E-1 Treaty Traders :
The E-1 classification is authorized for a national of a country
with which the United States has a commercial treaty, who is coming
to the U.S. solely to engage in trade of a substantial nature
principally between the United States and the alien's country of
nationality. The trade involved must be international exchange
(successfully negotiated contracts binding on all parties) of items
of trade between the U.S. and a treaty country. Title to the trade
item must pass from one treaty party to the other. If the alien is
inside the U.S., the I-129 is used to apply for a change of status,
extension of stay, or change of employment. This classification does
not require a petition for employment if the alien is outside of the
U.S. If outside of the U.S., the alien applies for an E-1 visa on
his or her own behalf directly to a U.S. consular office abroad.
