A funding plan does not grant U.S. work authorization. Assess actual permission and the investment conditions before relying on the activity.
Keep commercial and immigration steps distinct
The anticipated closing date does not determine the case outcome.
Begin state licensure early, then structure the purchase so the funds are committed through completed expenditures, an unconditional closing, or a binding escrow conditioned on E-2 visa issuance. Identify who can adjust closing and release conditions in the agreement, and confirm the correct consular or status process for the applicant before treating either the closing date or a travel date as fixed. Keep launch commitments, supplier deadlines and lease or service contracts on the same calendar as the immigration steps, and treat every date as provisional because neither approval nor a processing time can be promised in advance. The category is not satisfied by an intention to invest, so the funds have to be irrevocably committed to the enterprise at the time the application is decided, which is why the sequence of closing, funding and applying has to be planned rather than improvised.
