Northspire Immigration provides independent consulting for E-1 Treaty Trader, E-2 Treaty Investor business visas, US visitor visas, and Canada visit visas. Our information is sourced from official USCIS and IRCC publications. Serving clients across the Middle East, South Asia, and beyond.
โ๏ธ Disclaimer: Northspire Immigration provides business setup, document preparation, and advisory consulting services. We are not licensed immigration attorneys. All legal filings with USCIS and consular processing are handled by our network of licensed U.S. immigration attorneys.
Northspire Immigration was established to address a gap in the global market โ the lack of reliable, transparent U.S. and Canada immigration consulting outside of law firms. Too many clients are misled by consultants providing outdated information or making promises they cannot keep. We built Northspire Immigration differently.
The information we provide is sourced from official USCIS, U.S. Department of State, and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) publications. Our team monitors policy updates, fee changes, treaty country lists, and processing timelines so our clients receive current, well-organized guidance โ though we always recommend verifying details directly with the official source or with a licensed attorney before making decisions.
We focus on E-1 Treaty Trader and E-2 Treaty Investor business visas โ pathways for entrepreneurs and business owners from treaty countries who wish to establish and operate a business in the United States. We also provide US visitor visa and Canada visit visa application support for individuals and families worldwide.
Because we are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice, we work in partnership with two licensed U.S. immigration law firms who handle all USCIS filings and legal representation on behalf of our clients โ combining business advisory and document preparation under one coordinated service.
โ ๏ธ Note on India & China: Nationals of India and China are currently not eligible for E-1 or E-2 visas as these countries do not maintain qualifying commerce treaties with the United States. However, nationals who hold citizenship of a qualifying treaty country may still be eligible. Book a consultation to discuss your specific situation.
We provide consulting and document preparation across four immigration pathways. Each engagement is unique โ after your $100 consultation we put together a custom package for your specific situation. The information shown here is general public information from USCIS and IRCC.
The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa allows nationals of qualifying treaty countries to invest in and operate a business in the United States. Per USCIS, the investor must invest a substantial amount of capital in a bona fide U.S. enterprise and demonstrate at least 50% ownership or operational control.
The E-2 visa is renewable indefinitely as long as the underlying business remains operational. Spouses receive automatic work authorization and children under 21 are included as dependents.
How we help: we work with you on the business and document side of your E-2 โ entity setup, business planning, source-of-funds organization, and assembling the application package. Our partner attorneys handle all legal review and the USCIS or consular filing. Every engagement is custom โ we discuss the specifics in your $100 consultation and provide a tailored quote.
The E-1 Treaty Trader Visa is for nationals of qualifying treaty countries engaged in substantial trade between the United States and their home country. Per USCIS, more than 50% of total trade volume must be between the US and the treaty country. Goods, services, and technology all qualify as trade โ making this option relevant for exporters, tech companies, and trading firms.
How we help: we work on your trade documentation, business setup, and application package. Our partner attorneys handle all legal review and filings. Each E-1 case is unique โ we discuss specifics in your $100 consultation and provide a tailored quote.
The B-1 (Business) and B-2 (Tourist/Pleasure) visitor visas are the most common US visa categories for individuals visiting for leisure, tourism, family visits, or short-term business. Approval is at the discretion of the consular officer based on the evidence presented and the applicant's individual circumstances.
How we help: we assist with completing your DS-160, organizing the supporting documentation, and preparing you for your consular interview. The applicant signs and submits their own application โ we provide administrative support, not legal advice. Each case is unique and we discuss specifics in your $100 consultation.
The Canada Visitor Visa โ officially a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) โ is required for citizens of many countries to enter Canada for tourism, family visits, or short-term business. Applications are submitted through the IRCC online portal and decided at the discretion of an IRCC officer.
How we help: we assist with completing IMM 5257, organizing your supporting documents, and preparing the application package. The applicant signs and submits their own application โ we provide administrative support only. Each engagement is unique and we discuss specifics in your $100 consultation.
Over 80 countries maintain qualifying commerce treaties with the United States, making their nationals eligible for E-1 and/or E-2 visas. Below are key countries most relevant to our client base โ contact us to verify any country not listed.
โ ๏ธ Important: Even if your home country is not on the E-2 treaty list, you may still qualify if you hold citizenship in a qualifying treaty country. Naturalized citizens of treaty countries are equally eligible. Contact us to verify your specific eligibility โ the complete official list is maintained by the U.S. Department of State at travel.state.gov.
Every client we work with has different needs, different countries, different goals. Rather than offering fixed packages, we build a custom plan after listening to you in your $100 consultation.
We handle the complexity of immigration preparation so you can focus on your goals.
Every client situation is different โ investment profile, country, family circumstances, document complexity. Rather than fixed packages, we begin with a paid consultation and then quote you for exactly what you need.
In your consultation, we listen to your situation, discuss the relevant visa categories at a general level, and explain how Northspire can help. There is no obligation beyond the consultation. If you decide to proceed, we send you a written quote tailored to your specific needs.
Service pricing is custom-quoted based on your individual needs. Government fees, attorney fees, and any third-party costs are itemized separately and disclosed in writing before you commit to anything. We do not advertise fixed package pricing because no two cases are identical.
"I had been trying to understand the E-2 visa process for almost a year, getting conflicting information from different sources.

Their team handled everything โ the business plan, trade documentation, attorney coordination. Professionally managed from start to finish."
