Describe the actual contemplated activity for review rather than assuming a family label resolves the permission question.
Keep the business plan accurate
Do not omit material duties because they are informal. The review should understand how the enterprise will really operate.
Hypothetical example: an investor establishing a mobile dental-equipment sanitization service using a combination of savings and a personally secured loan. Organize bank records, loan papers, tax records, purchase agreement, invoices, licences, ownership records, and a credible business plan in a traceable order. The first review should map every transfer from source to destination and explain any large balance change. Debt secured by the enterprise’s assets is treated differently from personal liability, so the security documents matter. Decide whether an incomplete source trail can be repaired with primary records before filing; an attractive forecast cannot substitute for evidence of lawful, available funds.
E-2 calls for treaty nationality, control of the enterprise, and funds committed irrevocably to commercial risk in a real business that is not marginal. The investor must be able to develop and direct the enterprise. No single dollar figure decides substantiality; the amount is assessed against the cost and nature of the particular undertaking.
Use records created closest to the event: signed agreements, payroll or bank evidence, corporate records, licences, civil documents, and dated correspondence. A careful review identifies what each record proves and what it does not prove. Do not solve a factual gap by copying a favourable label from another route. Make the next decision only after the missing fact is either documented, changed, or plainly described as unresolved.
