DOS Issues Press Release On Changes to E-1 and E-2 Visas In Mexico
Mexico, D.F., June 20, 2012 - U.S. consular operations in Mexico rank number four worldwide in issuance of Investor and Treaty Trader visas. This is a critical program to stimulate foreign direct investment in the United States. To more efficiently process visas for investors and traders, the U.S. Mission in Mexico announces two changes in the procedures for applying for and renewing Treaty Trader (E-1) and Treaty Investor (E-2) visas.
Israeli Investors Eligible for E-2 Investor Visas
Israeli investors will soon be able to apply for the E-2 visa, which allows holders to live and work in the U.S. for an extended period of time while overseeing a major investment in the United States. Legislation to allow Israelis to apply for these visas was approved in Congress in May 31 and signed by the President this month. The legislation requires that similarly situated United States nationals must be eligible for similar nonimmigrant status in Israel. Therefore, visa applications will be accepted once Israel confirms that it will issue similar visas to U.S. citizens.
Pre-Screening Pilot Program for E-1/E-2 Applicants Underway at Canadian Consular Posts
The U.S. State Department is launching a pilot program to pre-screen E-1/E-2 visa applicants at consular posts in Canada. Kentucky Consular Center officials will contact the E-1/E-2 applicant's U.S. employer to verify information about the application, including the legitimacy of the company and the investment. This prescreening aims to assist consular officers to focus on the individual applicant's qualifications. The State Department hopes to implement the pilot around the world at consular posts that process E visa applications.
Entering USA, what to expect?
What kind of problems can employment-based nonimmigrants (H-1, L-1, E-1, E-2, E-3, TN) face during reentry?
I think this question is most relevant for H-1 holders, but other employment-based nonimmigrants may also note the general principles here.

I was recommended to have a consultation with Rajiv Khanna's Law office by one of my friends and couldn't be happier with the service I received. Starting from the initial consultation, the team demonstrated a deep and clear knowledge of the immigration laws, policies and procedures. The guidance was provided through each step of the immigration application. They were always there to answer any of my questions throughout the entire process resulting in a successful outcome. The entire staff is very professional, but I dealt with mostly Mr. Khanna and Kalpana and they had been nothing but amazing! Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience much easier and more manageable! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional immigration services.
