No. The business needs credible evidence under the applicable standard, not merely a count of activities.
Assess each assumption honestly
Identify what sales and service work are actually supported. Do not add unsupported projections together and treat the combined figure as an established outcome.
Before spending time on a personal file, establish the ownership of the U.S. business: who the ultimate individual owners are, what citizenship they hold, whether any of them is a U.S. permanent resident, and whether the enterprise has been recognized as a treaty enterprise already. Build a dated review file around passport evidence, ownership records, purchase documents, source-and-route evidence, business plan, and control rights. If the corrected revenue is lower, ask whether non-marginality now rests on present income or on documented capacity to contribute significantly, supported by contracts, payroll and a defensible plan. Ask how the actual commitment will be assessed rather than adopting a figure used in an unrelated application, since a larger payment does not repair an unresolved nationality or operating-business problem. Reduced demand does not automatically end E-2 eligibility, but the investor must continue to show treaty nationality, qualifying enterprise ownership, substantial funds irrevocably committed and at risk, operational control or at least fifty percent ownership, and a real nonmarginal business. A seller note secured on the roofing company's equipment and receivables is excluded from the investment; the same amount borrowed against the investor's own home or on a personal guarantee without security on the business would count.
