Have material changes reviewed against the actual E-2 conditions and process. An earlier discussion may have depended on rights or assets no longer included.
Update before relying on completion
Contract timing and immigration permission remain separate. Signing does not itself authorize work.
Useful milestones include the executor's confirmation of the next distribution, the transfer of committed funds, the signing of the lease or purchase, and the completion of the source and path record. Reconcile the deposit obligations and review the actual closing, escrow and funding conditions before committing to a date. Update the transfer agreement, source records, escrow instructions, purchase contract, working-capital schedule, and business plan before proceeding. An agreement that is binding but with completion conditioned on the immigration outcome, with the price in escrow, satisfies the commitment requirement while preserving a defined exit. Update the business plan when a supplier delay, financing change, or opening-date shift materially changes the forecast. Keep the buyer's own permission to work in the United States on its own track as well, because a closing date is not an authorization date and no clause in a purchase agreement can make it one.
