USCIS announced that the 1955 Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations, and Consular Rights with Iran was terminated. Consequently, Iranian nationals do not qualify any more to apply for E-1 and E-2 treaty investor’s visa or extend their current visas. The USCIS intends to send Notices of Intent to Deny (NOID) to all Iranian applicants who filed applications for E-1 or E-2 visas.
