Without a careful analysis of your company and your background it is not possible to provide a complete answer to your situation. You may have options to obtain permanent resident status through your occupation, your investment, and possibly through family ties you may have in the US. However, you indicate that your wife is a Social Worker with a Masters degree, and it is very possible that her emlpoyer would be willing and able to file a labor certification and immigrant visa petition for her, which would enable you and your children (single and under 21 years of age) to immigrate together with your wife as her dependents in the same fashion that she presumably obtained E-2 dependent status and work authorization through you. If you would like me to explore these options and analyze your case in detail to determine what other options may be available to you, please contact my office either by phone at (619) 291-1112, or by e-mail at jbejar@immigrationlawclinic.com

Hello. I would be happy to help. I would need to review your E2 job and resume. What is your business? Is your wife employed and have a company that could sponsor her? You can email your CV or other information directly to Harun@ksvisalaw.com
