Substantial trade generally refers to a continuous flow of international trade between the United States and the treaty country. The evaluation is based on the volume, frequency, and overall value of the transactions rather than a single minimum dollar amount.
The E-1 visa category is generally intended for businesses that are already engaged in qualifying international trade activities or can clearly document ongoing trade relationships and transactions between the United States and the treaty country.
The business must generally be owned by nationals of the treaty country, and qualifying ownership should align with the nationality requirements associated with the E-1 visa category.
