Get new glasses I never said that you did...
It would seem that Ray is admiiting the unlicensed practice of law which I am sure the American Bar Association would be interested to hear about.

if he doesn't get paid for it, then he's just helping and giving his opinions, then what's the beef?

This person is a Realtor in Florida ..he continues to try to join my site ..although he knows we do not allow Realtors.. he even tried
again this week.. Read his previous posting here ..Your right he seems
a bitter person.. He has made this type of threat to me before ..

But glad to see you started your own forum Peter ..I did suggest it to you over a year ago ...

Unless you can point to him signing forms as an attorney, I'd expect that the ABA would tell you to quit wasting their time. And if they're nice they'd also tell you that making such accusations is no way to attract customers for your business.

Any comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
Part of the criteria to successfully gain E2 visa issuance is you must be coming to the United States to carry on substantial trade or to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which you have or are actively in the process of investing, [a substantial amount of capital.
You must have control of the funds, and the investment must be at risk. For the purpose of measuring the investment, loans secured with the assets of the investment enterprise are not counted. Investments, however, may be prospective, provided that the funds are irrevocably committed to the investment, contingent only upon the issuance of the visa.
There is no fixed amount which is considered "substantial."
It seems that you plan to borrow against your assets and that would be acceptable as it places your funds at risk another criteria considered by the authorities.
Your problem may be that you cannot meet the substantial investment from your own liquid funds.
Suggest you contact an immigration attorney, (see AILA for a list.)
Use a licensed specialist Immigration Attorney and not visa consultants as you have no recourse against the latter and many of them are useless.
On a practical note if you have to risk your home to raise money to acquire a business you may be risking to much to achieve your dream
Best of luck

I know of someone who has a *thriving* gift shop (with an emphasis on tea, although it is not a tearoom) in Asheville, North Carolina, in Biltmore Village, a superb tourist destination in the mountains of North Carolina. PM me and I'll put you in touch with her.

In that kind of vein, there's a good demand for British bacon in the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) and the producer of the bacon (and other pork products) is located in NC as well.
