The other response left for you is confusing. yes, you can be both american and canadian at the same time BUT - how do you plan on getting US citizenship? You cannot get a green card through E2 ownership, sorry. You need either a US firm to sponsor your GC, or you need US citizen relatives to...

if you are no longer E2, you are no longer allowed to use the privileges that E2 hold. Adjust status to F1 and you become a student. Although, if you STAY in the US and continue to keep your I94's valid the entire time, theoretically your E2 should remain intact as long as you are doing your...

The E2 is getting harder to renew, even in these tough economic times. It appears that you have little choice but to roll the dice and try to renew. I would say your chance are 50-50 really since your business 'today' is considered marginal. 8 years back things were different by my immigration...

Wait for your date to become current. I imagine your priority date is in 2011 at some point? Figure on 7 to 10 years wait for priority date to become current.

Wait, wait and wait some more. I've had an application in (F3) since 2003 and it is STILL 3 to 4 years out. Your F1 catagory, backed up from April 1st, 2005 will take possibly up to 10 years to complete. No chance of speeding it up. Consider marrying a state Senator to get better...

This is correct, there is NO path from E visa, regardless of type (1, 2 or 3) to PR or GC holder. Perhaps the father is a GC holder or USC himself. One positive about the E visas is that it is legal to reside and work in the US while holding an E visa and have a concurrent I130 application pending

Firstly, your parents should hire an immigration attorney to apply for them. There are plenty to choose from. The E2 application is much more involved than a simple B1/B2 and I wouldnt recommend doing it yourselves. Look at spending around $2500.00 or more for a retainer every time you need to...

Sorry, but your story is confusing...lets see if I understand: You both had E2 visas (he owned the business and had the E2, yours was a E2 derivitive visa for spouses, I assume) You left the US with a valid visa? How long were you gone? Did the visa expire while you were gone? Did you...

The State Dept website makes it fairly clear: I would say that a tech company would be ok. I would definately recommend you hire a good attorney to handle your case.

8 years? I am also F3 and my priority date is in Aug 2003...still waiting. USCIS is currently working on dates from June 15th, 2001. I would say you have at least 4 to 5 years wait ahead of you yet, original poster.

I dont know what 'consequences' the State Dept or ICE could enforce in your home country? Its doubtful there will be any consequences unless you try to re-apply for a visa or try to re-enter the US.

I think that there is nothing you can do. Just having an application in for an I130 doesnt grant you any status here and and I94 is at best good for a short period. (Visa holders can obtain I94's for as long as 2 years) That being said, the fact that you are working without authorization is...

Long time lurker. Finally joined. wfc - I am an E2 holder from Canada and have twice renewed since my original app. While I will not go into personal details about our investment, I can suggest that you follow the E2 application guidelines. Only a 'substantial' amount at risk may approve you...
