Hello,
I'm currently in the US on H1B visa. I have my own corporation altough I do not do any work for it, just set it up. Anyway, I would like to obtain an E2 visa and have my company really take off. The company is a computer service/consulting and graphic design business. I know it does not require a huge amount of money to start, but the question is, how much would be alright? Is there a list somewhere where USCIS checks what it should cost to start such a business so then I can see how much I would have to invest? Also, I know that I have to invest that money in it. Can it be done through a business loan? I know I will have a hard time getting enough money through a unsecured personal loan (I don't own a house as collateral). Anyway, if I got a business loan, what kind of loan would it have to be, secured by good business plan (I know it cannot be through company assets), would that be enough. I'm willing to hire a lawyer to help me out, as long as I can get some clear answers of what to do and what kind of money to invest we are talking about. Please help. Thank you very much.
