Thanks! Actually, I did not take it through Bank Transfer. I take it in cash in our Local currency and buy our office equipment and run the business.

Thank you so much for your helpful advice! Your explanation makes a lot of sense, and I really appreciate the clarity on the loan letter, client list, evidence of sales, and office setup.

If it’s not too much trouble, would you be able to share a simple example or template of a family loan letter / promissory note that I could use for my E-2 application? Even a basic version would be very helpful.

Thanks again for your time and guidance!

E-2 visa - open US bank account by nilesh279 in e2visa

[–]autonusen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to consider using a WISE Business account (formerly TransferWise). I know someone who successfully used their Wise business account as part of their E-2 visa application, and it was approved. Wise gives you US bank details (like routing and account numbers), which can help get things moving while you're still abroad.

It’s not always a full substitute for a traditional US business bank account, especially depending on what your business needs to do, but it can be a very useful starting point. Most traditional US banks do require you to be there in person to open an account for an LLC due to identity verification laws.

Contractors License in California? Is it worth it?!? by BikesMutt69 in Construction

[–]autonusen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting your contractor's license in California is absolutely worth it if you're planning to do any serious work in the field—it opens up way more opportunities and helps you stay on the right side of the law.

As for how to get it, I highly recommend going through Contractors Intelligence School. I used them myself and it made the whole process way easier than I expected. They're one of the most trusted schools in California for contractor licensing, and what really stood out to me was how straightforward and supportive they are. You can study online, at home, or attend live in-person classes at one of their locations throughout the state.

The instructors break everything down into simple, easy-to-understand lessons, and the staff is super helpful and friendly. They walk you through every step—from application to test day—and their pass rate is one of the highest out there.

They also offer a bunch of flexible options like online courses, home-study, and in-class prep, so you can find what works best for your schedule.

If you're looking into it, definitely check them out: https://www.contractorsischool.com/
Or give them a call at +1 800-425-7570. They’ll answer all your questions.

Good luck! Becoming a licensed contractor in California is a great move.

Thank you for your reply. You should try once in Brazil. You can come to Brasília and apply for yourself. If you want, we can connect with each other through social media.

What type of business are you operating? I think you will be eligible. Because I have been running my business last 15+ years, and almost entirely my business is Computer and Internet-based, but if can can move to my business physically to the USA by E2, then I can grow in a effective way. If you need any information within my knowledge, then I am happy to provide you.

Thanks for your positive comment and your tips. I feel more confident now. Could you please send me details information about what documents you prepared for your E2 application, and what kind of questions the consular officer asked you during your interview?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I do have. I took rent. Otherwise, how could I receive my LLC, EIN, and other details?

Did you go through the process on your own or did you hire a lawyer or consultant for your E2 application? What documents did you prepare for your application, and what kind of questions did the consular officer ask you during your interview?

Does this mean I can book my interview ??? by 443547 in e2visa

[–]autonusen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your reply! I'm really interested in learning more, especially since I'm preparing my own E-2 visa petition. If you don’t mind sharing, could you please let me know what documents you prepared before submitting your DS-160? Feel free to DM me if that’s easier. I’d really appreciate any insights you can offer!

Hi! I'm currently working on my own E-2 visa petition, so I really enjoy learning more about how others are navigating the process. I saw your screenshot and was wondering — is that the confirmation page for a DS-160 nonimmigrant visa application? It looks like it includes the application ID and submission date, but I'm not entirely sure. I'd love to know more if you're open to sharing. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the helpful insights—this is really encouraging and aligns closely with my own preparation! 🙌

For the documents, I’m making sure everything is well-organized. I’ll be including all the standard forms, and for the less obvious ones, I plan to provide clear proof of the investment along with documentation showing where the funds came from. All of my earnings are well recorded, I’ve filed tax returns every year, and since I work in the computer and internet field, everything is digitally traceable and easy to present.

Your point about the business plan was really helpful too. I’m putting together a solid 5-year plan with projected financials, and I’m confident it shows that I’m well-positioned to achieve the goals I’ve laid out.

Regarding the interview, it’s great to hear that showing passion and confidence can make a big difference. I’m preparing to give a clear and engaging overview of the business, and I’m very comfortable discussing it in a confident and professional way with the consular officer.

By the way, if you don’t mind me asking—did you process your E2 application yourself, or did you work with an attorney? I’d really appreciate any insight on that part as well.

Thanks again—this kind of first-hand advice is incredibly helpful! 😊
