Is there a minimum revenue requirement for the E-1?

No. The E-1 does not define a minimum revenue threshold. What the immigration authority evaluates is whether the company maintains substantial and continuous trade between the United States and the country with which a trade treaty exists, not a fixed financial floor.

The focus is on the nature and regularity of the transactions, not on an isolated figure. A consistent flow of smaller operations can carry more weight than a single high-value transaction, because what matters is the continuity and relevance of the trade to the relationship between the two countries.

• There is no predetermined revenue floor.
• The regularity and consistency of commercial exchanges are what count.
• Each case is assessed on both quantitative and qualitative grounds.

For that reason, it is worth assembling robust documentation (contracts, invoices, and records of negotiations) that demonstrates the continuity of trade. To confirm what applies to your situation, consult the USCIS guidelines or a qualified specialist.
