Nationals of countries that have a treaty of commerce and navigation with the U.S. may obtain E-1 visas. However, they must be coming to the U.S. solely to engage in substantial international trade between their country and the U.S. While E-1 visas are initially granted for two years, they can be extended indefinitely if the foreign national continues to meet the eligibility requirements. Spouses and children under 21 can also accompany E-1 visa holders, as well as employees of a treaty trader or a company that has the nationality of the treaty country.

I am deeply grateful to US Immigration Law Counsel for the care, professionalism, and dedication they brought to my case. Throughout the process, the team kept me informed and helped me feel supported as I prepared for my interview. Maria and Marisol deserve special recognition for their attentive communication and for consistently staying on top of the details. Their efforts made a meaningful difference: I never felt that I was navigating this important moment alone.
My deepest appreciation goes to Counsel Oni Taffe, whose preparation was both rigorous and genuinely reassuring. She asked difficult questions, challenged me to think carefully about my responses, and made certain I understood what to expect. She did not simply tell me to be confident; she helped me build that confidence through thoughtful, thorough preparation. What I valued most was the care behind her demanding approach she took my interview seriously, and I felt that commitment in every preparation session. I am sincerely thankful for her guidance and for the dedication of the entire team.

USILC, where do I begin?!
If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would! From the very beginning, our experience with USILC has been nothing short of exceptional.
Marisol is a phenomenal person who was incredibly supportive throughout the process, whether communicating by phone or email. Maria, Kimberly, and Luis were also amazing. They were always available to answer our questions and consistently provided timely feedback and guidance.
To Attorney Saman, thank you so much for taking our case. You are truly the GOAT in the business! We are beyond grateful for your expertise, dedication, and commitment.
Attorney Oni, words cannot express how grateful we are to have met you. The fact that you are a fellow Jamaican made communicating with you so much easier and more comfortable. You understood our experiences on a personal level, and being able to express ourselves in our national dialect during the mock interviews meant so much to us. You brought such a reassuring sense of confidence and positivity to our interview preparation, which helped ease so much of our anxiety and landed us an APPROVAL! We cannot thank you enough for that!
To the entire USILC team, thank you for your patience, professionalism, encouragement, and unwavering support throughout this journey. Every single one of you played an important role in making this experience a positive one for us.
We are truly grateful to have had USILC in our corner. Thank you for everything!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nalleli and Oni who helped my husband to receive his residency. From the start of the process the team was dependable, informed and responsive. We had a tough interview and Oni came prepared to not only fight for our case but provided us a level of comfort and emotional support. If you are going through immigration proceedings then I highly recommend working with U.S. immigration Law Counsel. In this climate, you will be provided with the best representation.

Saman is the best imigration lawyer in South Florida. My case was over a decade old and I've had 3 lawyers before her. The level of preparation and effort she put into my case was a blessing for me. Without her I would've never had my case approved! My previous lawyer told me that my case had no chance to be won and I almost had lost my hopes but when I met Saman she gave me hope again and told me that we can win and we did! It took us 4 years but she made it happen! She is very realistic, she kept me grounded and gave me navigation through all the steps of the process and also with her positive attitude she gave me strength to go though this nightmare! What can I say but that I owe her my life and that she is the best in her bussines! THANK YOU SAMAN!
