Assess the actual enterprise and its complete costs and operations. A favorable activity cannot justify omitting genuine obligations elsewhere in the same proposal.
Define what the forecast covers
Show which activities, assets and liabilities belong to the enterprise. Distinguish a proposed expansion from an existing operating line without implying either has results it has not achieved.
Reduced demand does not automatically end E-2 eligibility, but the investor must continue to show treaty nationality, qualifying enterprise ownership, substantial funds irrevocably committed and at risk, operational control or at least fifty percent ownership, and a real nonmarginal business. The file must still show treaty nationality, at least 50 percent treaty-national ownership, development and direction, proportional substantiality with no fixed minimum, and non-marginality, ordinarily through more than minimal livelihood capacity or meaningful economic contribution within five years after normal business activity begins. The reviewer looks at whether treaty nationals hold at least 50 percent of the enterprise, whether the applicant is a treaty national, and whether that individual will actually develop and direct the business through ownership, a managerial position, or another documented control device.
