E1 Visa Countries: The Complete List

Author: Ashoori Law

OVERVIEW

    The E1 visa is a great option for certain businesspeople. Through the E1 visa, someone can come to the United States and engage in international trade.

     

    In order to qualify for an E1 visa, you must be a national of a country that maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States.

     

    In this guide, I’m going to list the countries that maintain a treaty of commerce and navigation with the U.S. for purposes of the E1 visa. If you have any questions, feel free to email me directly at contact@ashoorilaw.com. I would be happy to help you.

    You Are T.
    My wife successfully immigrated to the United States from Tunisia, filing with Ashoori Law Firm. My assigned Lawyer was Giselle Rodriguez. I am a US Citizen, my wife a Tunisian National.
    Married my wife in Tunisia back in Aug of 2023, began filing immediately for a Marriage Visa beginning with a I-130. The initial lawyer fee was $3,500 paired with a Filing fee if $500 roughly. i spent about 4500 overall id say from start to finish getting my wife to the USA.
    Giselle and her team (Vanessa - manager and Julia - assistant) were kind, and friendly, quite knowledgeable.
    Giselle handled filing and ordering evidences.
    Julia was helpful with aiding us in putting together out interview documents and visa filing.
    whenever communications was difficult Vanessa was swift to respond and get answers. I will warn immigration takes time.
    As a US citizen filing for my spouse our I-130 took approx 14 months to be approved, our visa application around 4 months, Embassy interview about 2 months, plus 2 weeks to get her Passport with the visa in it back. upon landing USCIS customs was a little challenging as they first couldnt find her file. SO I STRONGLY SUGGEST bringing copies of all files related with you at the ready. we made it through though and now we are together finally as of 11-24-25. it took it over 2 years filing but with Ashoori we have successfully united. They are simple and easy, they go above and beyond to ensure youre peace of mind that all will go smoothly.

    They will walk you step by step through the whole process and make it work.

    We had a very positive experience with Ashoori Law and Cristina Casabianca. We submitted our I140 petition in September 2025 and after one minor RFE were approved in January 2026. Cristina was responsive, and immensely helpful in preparing our petitioner letter and guiding us through the required documentation. Would highly recommend!
