E-Visas: Traders and Investors

1h 3m

Created on June 04, 2015

Intermediate

Overview

Within Sports and Entertainment Immigration, there exist a variety of visa classifications that can be utilized, and one of the less frequent, but often times overlooked, is the E classification. Intended for individuals who either engage in trade with the U.S. or are actively investing (or seeking to invest) in the U.S., because of the wide-range of disciplines to which it is applicable, it should exist in the back of the practitioner’s mind as being a possible visa for an international client. However, because of the degree of scrutiny applied to E-visa petitions by USCIS or perhaps the respective embassy/consulate abroad (another method of application that we have not yet discussed), the practitioner should also be well aware of the hurdles in place to a successful outcome of the petition. 

 

In this course, Michael Cataliotti, a New York City-based business immigration and entertainment attorney, provides an overview of the E-visa from the parties involved with each petition and the different sub-categories to the necessary elements for a successful adjudication.

 

Learning Objectives:

I.   Identify the nature of the E-visa and when it may be utilized 

II.  Review the parties to every petition and some of the most common potential-client disciplines the practitioner may encounter 

III. Ascertain the fundamental elements of each petition and what makes the average petition stronger
