I'll be here for the next 5-6 hours. As usual, there are countless topics given the rapidly changing immigration landscape and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and I'll try to do the same in my answers.

Edit: I am taking a break now and will return later this afternoon/evening to respond to any comments and answer any questions. Thank you everyone for a great and engaged AMA so far.

Do you have any guidelines for the amount of $ expected for the investment required for people applying for the E1 Treaty Investor Visa?

That's the E-2 (the E-1 is the treaty trader visa and not based in investment) and most consulates require an investment of at least $100k regardless of the actual cost to get the company up and running.
