Re: E2 Visa
Is there any set 'RULE' though, doesnt this all depend on how the adjudicator is feeling on the day
As ive read other places, E2 holder no 1 -no employees, poor turnover=renewal.
Then elsewhere, E2 holder no 2 -employees, good turnover =no renewal
sometimes it just doesnt make sense, BUT then is immigration supposed to make sense?

Re: E2 Visa
Even if it is initially...
... they will only ask for more information.
I am talking about my own experience.

Oh, you're that type. Oh well, I'm out.
What type?? It was meant as a joke in light of an earlier comment I read about illegals managing to remain without these problems.
Obviously you didn't see the funny side

Re: E2 Visa
Anyone going to America on the E2 knows the risk. Spending the rest of your life two years away from deportation cannot be fun. Why these people don't run their B&Bs in British Columbia instead baffles me
Funny you should say that because we had discussed exactly that.
We haven't looked into the requirements of doing this yet but I believe I read somewhere that a certain amount of money had to be invested into a Bank for 2 yrs with no interest earned. Maybe some research on this is called for when I have time.

Further, the E2 is not like the tourist visa, which can be refused outright and at the immigration officer's whim.
Lastly, I am trying to tell the hopefuls out there that it is not as difficult as it seems. The most diffcult thing is to find a decent attorney who will do his/her job.

Re: E2 Visa
Thanks Daken.
Ray the red wasn't "my nonsense" but quotes from others which I highlighted. Sorry, didn't realise it was wrong! Oh, probably shouldn't have highlighted your name so no need to tell me.
By the way, I have found the "quote" button now!

Wrong
wrong
wrong yes it can and has been many times
wrong... it can be really difficult
I have folllowed hundreds of people thru the E-2 system over the past 7 year
And if the adjudicator says so, then you should bring his notice to the rules. They can make a mistake too. But that is why you have an attorney on YOUR side.

Re: E2 Visa
The laws are the same. What differs are the attorneys and the adjudicators. So there can be a significant amount of differing opinions. And I am sure there are a lot of sad stories.
I can see you are going to stay with your pre-conceived notions. However if there is anybody out there reading your negative posts, I would suggest to them not accept them without doing some more independent research.
Even if you are an attorney yourself, which I doubt, I would say only 1 in 10 really know what they are doing. So live and let live, with an open mind.

Re: E2 Visa
"WRONG"? I should accept that I am wrong, just bcoz you and a couple other naysayers say so? I suggest that people should contribute more by recounting their experiences, rather than being opinionated. After all, thats why people come to these blogs in the 1st place, and not go to an attorney, for want of a "professional" 'opinion'.
