Re: % shareholding for new business visa

Thank you for your civil response.

My question is, what about those who come on E2 to see what life here is like, and decide they'd like to stay? They have no options open to them and...

Ray, I KNOW that! I'm trying to show how so many are lured into the trap!

Also, I get MY information from 5 years of LIVING the E2 life and interacting with others in the same boat.

Good grief, Bob! How is it possible for an immigrant to be more reciprocal of his host country's benevolence than to invest money and create employment?
