What are the Chances of my getting an E2 Visa?
Investing $100K of my parents money into the company I've owned with a partner for 6 years in the US. I plan to show the money is at risk by first paying off company debts as they arise before pulling the money back out of the company if the E2 is approved. I will also hire commision only salespeople to grow the business. I do have intent to stay in the US due to having a child here and having my US company, but not sure if that affects the E2. Any thoughts or suggestions?

2010 submitted H1B for Marketing analyst- denied then appealed, denied again
June 2010 submitted H1B for VP of Marketing and Sales due to increased business and a need for this position. denied and appealed.
July 2010 Perm denied, Filed appeal to reopen Perm app. so I was granted an H1 to stay in the US while it's being processed...The H expires this May, so I hope to get another H for delayed perm processing time or hopefully an E2.
