Re: E2 Visa Approved
Hi Gayled06,
I have just seen your post regarding the E2 visa. My husband is meeting with his immigration attorney this afternoon to discuss the visa application process and what to expect.
I am quite nervous, as I am sure you were, about what to expect. Was the process fairly smooth? Am I correct in thinking your had your decision within a month of submitting the application?
As a spouse did you have to do anything? We have a little boy who is only 2, do we have to do anything for him or is he an automatic dependant?
If my husband gets the interview at the embassy, do we both attend?
I know its a lot of questions but I feel quite out of the loop on it all and would just like a better understanding of the process and what to expect.
Thanks!

Re: E2 Visa Approved
Hi Brit mum,
I know your questions are directed towards Gayled06 but I've been through the initial process of paperwork.
The E2 Visa process is quite long winded but it definitely a great option as it will allow your spouse to work in the US and allow your son and you to both accompany him whilst in the US. You and your son will both be applying as defendants to your spouse. the process for both of you is pretty straight forward and you will need to fill out a DS160 form which will be provided by your lawyer at a later stage. The main applicant being your spouse will be providing the bulk of the paperwork. When the interview date comes you and your husband will need to be present your 2 year old boy does not need to be there but its at your discretion if you want to take him.
It does take long to get your visa as there is a lot to provide in terms of documentation but for me at least it was the best option because my spouse will be able to work whilst int he US.
I am still waiting on my interview date from the US Embassy in London should hopefully get a positive response in a few weeks.
Best of luck!

It was a long road of documentation gathering for us, we started in January but our business in the US was completely set up- ready to go and we submitted in July. One month later, we were moved.
As a spouse you will fill in your DS160 a few days before the interview, and at the interview, youll be asked some questions. Just be honest and nice, and you will be fine. Our lawyer prepped us both for our interview but we had no issues arise anyway.
Thats all to add really!
Good luck!

Hi Bhavesh,
Thank you for your reply! We're hoping to have the paperwork sent off tomorrow. Hopefully they won't require anymore information.
Have you been given your interview date yet?
Thank you Gayled06!

Re: E2 Visa Approved
HI Gayle,
Yes we have our interview tomorrow 23rd September. I'm just preparing myself for the interview, to be honest feeling little nervous as I'm. It sure what will be asked. Also at the moment my attachments or ties with UK is that both me and my wife hold U.K. Bank accounts. We have staying at my father in laws house the past few months as we no perms any residence here and my son attends nursery here. Will this be sufficient to show we have interest in UK as I feel this may be what will not work in our favor.
Thank you,
Bhav

Good Luck for today Bhavesh!
I'm not sure how much history with the U.K. They require. I'm sure that will be sufficient enough as you have legal ties such as bank accounts and a care of address.
Thanks,
Diane. (Sorry I think there was a mistake with the name)

Re: E2 Visa Approved
Hi Diane,
We didn't get the E2 visa � ����. Apparently the money we are investing has to be 'irrevocably committed' basically already invested and. It just being placed in a bank account we had shown 208,000 dollars investment of which 70,000 is already invested. Also we had to show additional contracts to demonstrate we were keen to pursue the business as explained in our business plan.
We can re apply again for an E2 once this is place.
Thanks,
Bhav
