The change comes following the U.S.'s October 3, 2018, termination of the 1955 Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations, and Consular Rights with Iran.

Iranian nationals will no longer be eligible for E-1 and E-2 trade and investment visas, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency announced on Wednesday.

Given that"E-1 and E-2 nonimmigrant visas are based on trade and investment treaties or specific legislation providing for reciprocal treatment of the respective countries' nationals," USCIS said,"the existence of a qualifying treaty or authorizing legislation is therefore a threshold requirement for issuing an E visa."

"Accordingly, a national of Iran is no longer eligible for an extension of stay in E-1 or E-2 status or a change of status to E-1 or E-2 on the basis of the Treaty of Amity," Koumans said. Koumans made clear, however, that"the changes described in this notice do not prevent Iranian nationals and their dependents from seeking admission in, or applying for a grant of, another nonimmigrant visa classification for which they believe they can establish eligibility under U.S. immigration law."
