Entering the U.S. from the U.K. on an E-2???

Hi There,

Not sure where I should be posting this. My husband and I and our partners from England opened a business in Wisconsin in May 2007. My husband came here from Birmingham England on a fiancee visa in 2003. Our friends got here in February 2009 on an E-2 (I think) visa....if that's the visa for investing in a business in the U.S.

I have some major questions - am I "stuck" in a business with them for the rest of my life? I mean - will they always have to be a business owner in order to stay here? I realize if they found a business to run themselves that they could do that.

Also - they go back in August 2010 for renewal of their Visa - what is the chance of the Visa NOT being approved if the business hasn't made a noticable profit since they arrived? We have not made a profit at all since opening but the end of the year loss figures are getting smaller. My main concern is that our business can easily support 1 family (my husband and I because we could run it by ourselves) but not 2 families. Our partners could not run it by themselves and survive.

I would appreciate any and all ideas on this matter. You can email direct at neat1s@hotmail.com.

Thanks
