**Reciprocal eligibility for E-1 and E-2 visas**: This bill would treat Peru as a treaty country for E-1 (treaty trader) and E-2 (treaty investor) visas only if Peru provides similar nonimmigrant status to U.S. nationals. - Peruvian nationals would become eligible for E-1 and E-2 nonimmigrant classifications in U.S. law on the condition that Peru extends comparable status to U.S. citizens. - U.S. investors and treaty traders could gain reciprocal access to comparable Peruvian nonimmigrant status, since U.S. eligibility depends on Peru offering similar status to U.S. nationals. - The change creates no new funding or standalone enforcement rules, so any implementation would proceed through existing immigration processes and agencies.
