No. Identify the actual ownership and lawful transaction supporting their use.
Trace the legal and financial steps
Provide genuine records of relevant distributions and transfers. Control of a company account alone does not establish that its balance is personal capital.
Build a dated review file around bank statements, transfer trail, signed purchase terms, escrow conditions, invoices, ownership agreements, and operating projections. Assemble a transaction ledger linking lawful source, each bank movement, escrow or refund condition, purchase closing, invoices, ownership, and operating use. Its practical purpose is to decide which funds are truly committed and exposed, and which remain accessible or conditional, rather than to collect papers with no stated issue. Hypothetical example: a bicycle-component repair shop pays a refundable supplier deposit but describes the entire planned inventory budget as already invested. Match the supplier deposit to its refund clause and bank trail, keeping projected inventory funds separate until they are genuinely committed. Trace ownership of every dollar from origin through transfer, identify any right of return, then reconcile irrevocable payments with executed business documents. A recurring problem is counting an intention, an unspent reserve, or a reversible payment as though it carries commercial risk. The investor's capital must be committed beyond easy withdrawal and exposed to commercial loss. The enterprise must be real and not marginal, while the investor must develop and direct it; E-2 itself does not provide a permanent-residence outcome. Amend the E-2 file whenever funds move, escrow conditions change, a payment becomes refundable, ownership shifts, or operating purchases differ from projections.
