Keep the earlier and final versions with an explanation of the changes. A reliable file should show how the purchased assets and price were determined.
Preserve the transaction history
Record removed items, disputed valuations, stock that cannot be sold and obligations attached to the goods. Connect the final schedule to the agreement and payment records. Ask the transaction adviser to clarify commercial rights and the immigration adviser to assess their effect. Replacing the original list without an explanation can conceal a material change instead of resolving it.
For E-2, the investor needs treaty nationality and must show a real enterprise, qualifying treaty ownership, a substantial commitment of capital exposed to commercial loss, active direction, and an enterprise that is not marginal. It is temporary and does not independently grant permanent residence. Hypothetical example: an optical-fibre installation business is financed from a sale of shares, a personal loan, and savings accumulated over years. Prepare a dated source-and-path chart showing the share sale, tax consequences, loan terms, each account transfer, and the payment into the U.S. business. The decision is whether every large movement can be traced with primary records before the application is filed.
Write the conclusion into the transaction checklist and resolve contrary wording in the contract, escrow, financing, or forecast before applying. A commercially attractive proposal still needs records that show the actual commitment and operating role.
