You were lucky Frosty. When you are on the number of immigration forums I am on, you read all the bad stories, I am aware it can work for some people but it doesnt for loads of others. I still say separate business broker and immigration attorney. I still say B to E change of status is risky, it worked ok for you and you dared go back and were successful, loads of people are too scared and landlock themselves and then if someone dies cannot go home. Yep it has happened. You pays your money on this one and you takes your choice.
