Of course it is, E-2's are common enough. Granted, there is no cheap path to permanent residence from there though.

If his spouse or one of his parents was born in an eligible country, he might still qualify for the US visa lottery.

Spouse, "yes", but qualification for the diversity lottery is based on where you, or your spouse, were born, geographically, not on nationality acquired from your parents or based on where they were born.

He didn't say he was looking when he was working for a bank. It seems to be a recent interest.

I think maybe I was working for the 'wrong' bank as it was RBS Group. I have been shaking some trees though and PWC actually has some good opportunities. It wasn't so much a recent interest as it has been an idea I have been playing with for awhile, but the current state of MOD employment and career maturing has pushed me to look for the exit, lifestyle is a big factor.
