Sponsored By: Representative Cohen, Steve [D-TN-9]

Introduced

Summary

Adds the Czech Republic to the countries eligible for E-1 trader visas. The bill treats Czech nationals as eligible for admission to the United States as E-1 nonimmigrants provided the Government of the Czech Republic offers comparable nonimmigrant trader status to U.S. nationals, applying the existing eligibility framework in the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Trader visas for Czech nationals
