Bill Summary
A bill to include Portugal in the list of foreign states whose nationals are eligible for admission into the United States as E-1 and E-2 nonimmigrants if United States nationals are treated similarly by the Government of Portugal. This bill makes Portuguese nationals eligible for E-1 and E-2 nonimmigrant visas if the government of Portugal provides similar nonimmigrant status to U.S. nationals. An E-1 visa is for individuals entering the United States to engage in international trade, while an E-2 visa is for individuals investing a substantial amount of capital in the United States. Both are limited to nationals from countries that have a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States.
AI Summary
This bill, the Advancing Mutual Interests and Growing Our Success Act (AMIGOS Act), proposes to include Portugal in the list of foreign states whose nationals are eligible for admission into the United States as E-1 (international trade) and E-2 (substantial investment) nonimmigrant visas, if the Government of Portugal provides similar nonimmigrant status to U.S. nationals. The E-1 and E-2 visas are limited to nationals from countries that have a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States, and this bill would extend that eligibility to Portugal if it reciprocates with similar treatment for U.S. nationals.
