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 (treaty trader) and E-2 (treaty investor) nonimmigrants, provided that the Government of Portugal provides similar nonimmigrant status to U.S. nationals. Additionally, the bill modifies the eligibility criteria for E visas by allowing an alien who acquired the relevant nationality through a financial investment and has been domiciled in that foreign state for at least 3 years to be eligible for the E visa, even if they have not previously been granted such status.
