E-1 Visa Consulting Services

We start by reviewing your business, trade history, and documentation to confirm you meet E-1 requirements before you invest time and money in the process.

• Review your Canadian business structure and ownership
• Assess your US trade volume and the 50% international trade threshold
• Identify any gaps in your qualifying trade documentation
• Provide a clear yes/no on eligibility with specific recommendations

The document package is the foundation of your E-1 application. We guide you through every document the consulate needs, formatted exactly how they expect it.

• Complete document checklist tailored to your business type
• Trade evidence organization (invoices, contracts, bank statements)
• Business plan review focused on E-1 requirements
• Financial documentation guidance (tax returns, P&L statements)
• DS-160 and DS-156E form preparation support
• Cover letter drafting that frames your business narrative

Every business tells a different story. We help you frame yours in the way that best demonstrates you meet each E-1 criterion — substantiality, trade continuity, and principal trader status.

• Narrative strategy: how to present your business to the consulate
• Trade substantiality framing for your specific industry
• Addressing potential weaknesses before the officer asks
• Supporting evidence selection and organization

The consulate interview is where applications succeed or fail. We prepare you with realistic mock interviews based on actual consulate questions, so nothing catches you off guard.

• Multiple mock interview sessions with feedback
• Practice with the 12 most common E-1 interview questions
• Answer refinement — what to say, what not to say
• Confidence building through repetition and coaching
• Day-of preparation and last-minute review

From your first consultation to visa approval, we stay with you through every step. No guesswork, no missed deadlines, no surprises.
