Explain the actual investment structure, contributions and rights. Do not attribute the same payment to different people in inconsistent ways merely to produce a larger personal total.
Trace contributions within the enterprise account
Identify contributors, amounts, dates and the terms on which capital reaches the business. Review how the actual arrangement meets the requirements rather than inventing a per-partner formula. There is no universal E-2 minimum investment amount. Keep government charges and professional services separate from commercial capital, and verify current official fees for the individual processes proposed.
A cost review separates government charges, professional assistance, and commercial spending, then asks which payment proves an immigration element and which does not. Trace lawful funds into an irrevocable, at-risk commercial commitment, then test whether the real enterprise is nonmarginal and the applicant will develop and direct it. A bank balance or a future intention does not settle those questions. Hypothetical example: a specialty tea blender counts the visa filing charge as part of the money used to open the shop.
The reader can then spend only on the item that addresses the actual unresolved requirement.
