- Two photographs for identification
- Medical examination forms
- Marriage certificates
- Birth certificates
- Your passport, as well as your family member’s passports
- Form DS-260, Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application
- Finally, you will have to prove that you will never become a public charge to the United States.

What is an E-1 visa?
Certain employees of treaty traders may obtain E-1 visas. In order to qualify, the trade must be traceable between the U.S. and the treaty country, the trade must involve goods, services, or money, and the trade must exist between the U.S. and a country with a ratified trade treaty.
The greater the volume of trade, the greater the chance that you will obtain the visa. As long as you can prove that, should you obtain the visa, the trade will support you and your family, and that you are essential to the business, you should qualify. There is a wide array of additional qualifications you must meet, which is why you should speak to an attorney before applying.
What is an E-2 visa?
