What they built from desire. |
We cannot copy what they |
Accomplished through faith. |
We have walked upon the moon, |
The cost the heart of the Earth. |
They built their lives |
Into the walls. |
We fling ours to the stars. |

This is a 'mini meditation' which you can use on it's own during the day, or as a way to lead you into a meditation as you start. |
The BIG SIGH can take you easliy into the 'breathless state', because of the natural pause at the end of the exhalation. Give it a try! :) |
1. Close your eyes, and notice how you’re breathing. |
2. Take a HUGE breath in through your nose, completely filling your lungs. (4 – 6 seconds) |
3. Release the breath through your mouth with no control, allowing any natural sound to be expressed. (1 -2 seconds) |
4. Sink into the space of ‘no breath’ at the end of the out-breath, savouring the quietness that is there before the in-breath naturally returns. |
5. Notice the difference in your breathing now – it is likely to be slower/deeper/ more relaxed. Is there a shift in how you feel – perhaps calmer/more focused or relaxed? |
You can use ‘the big sigh’ to shift your emotional/mental state. To do this you need a clear intention, for instance “I let go of my anger/frustration/tension/tiredness now. I refocus.” |
I have always found it useful to say an affirmation like this out loud, but you could say it silently as well – the key is to consciously use the sigh to achieve the state of mind you wish to return to. |
The quiet space of ‘no breath’ at the end of the sigh can be a sublimely peaceful experience if you sink into it. It stills your busy mind – and doing that even for a few seconds is hugely worthwhile! |
E2 Visa Green Card |
Document Sample |
scope of work template |
E-2 VISA: Significant investment required (e.g., $200,000 |
plus), extended every 5 years, allows foreign national to remain in the |
United States on an open-ended basis (without a green Card) subject |
to the work limitations with the Visa. Although there is no employee |
hiring requirement, a total lack of employees may be evidence that |
the business is marginal. If the E-2 employee is a manager (rather |
than an investor), managing other employees may be expected as |
part of their job duties. |
This type of Visa will be particularly valuable for foreign |
nationals who wish to visit the United States for up to 122 days per |
year (less than 183 days in any one year), and who do not require a |
Green Card (in order to avoid U.S. income taxation on their world- |
wide income). The E-2 Visa is particularly suited for international |
investors who would like a second home in the U.S. |
Treaty Investor (E2 Visa) |
Section 101(a)(15)(E) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act |
provides for visa status for nationals of countries that maintain an |
appropriate treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States |
or that is considered to be a treaty country under US law. The |
applicant must be coming to the United States to carry on substantial |
trade or to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which |
the national has invested, or is actively in the process of investing, a |
substantial amount of capital. |
Treaty Trader and Investor visas are nonimmigrant |
categories. They do not confer permanent residency in the US |
nor do they lead to US citizenship, although they permit the |
applicant and qualified family members to live in the US for an |
extended period. For permanent residency in the United |
States, there is a separate program based on investment. |
To qualify as Treaty Investor (E-2): |
The investor (either a real or corporate person) must be a |
national of a treaty country. |
The investment must be substantial. It must be |
sufficient to ensure the successful operation of the |
enterprise. The percentage of investment for a low-cost |
enterprise must be higher than the percentage of investment |
in a high-cost enterprise. |
The investment must be a real operating enterprise. |
Speculative or idle investment does not qualify. |
The investment must not be marginal. It must generate |
significantly more income than needed to provide a living to |
the investor and family, or it must have a significant |
economic impact in the United States. |
The investor must have control of the funds, and the |
investment must be at risk in the commercial sense. For |
the purpose of measuring the investment, loans secured |
with the assets of the investment enterprise are not counted. |
The investor must be coming to the US to develop and direct |
the enterprise. If applicants are not the principal |
investors, they must be employed as a supervisor, |
executive, or as the possessor of highly specialized skills. |
What is a substantial amount of capital? There is no fixed |
amount which is considered "substantial." A substantial amount |
of capital constitutes that amount which is ample to ensure the |
investor's financial commitment to the successful operation of |
the enterprise as measured by the proportionality test. |
The proportionality test compares the total amount invested in |
the enterprise with the cost of establishing a viable enterprise |
of the nature contemplated or the amount of capital needed to |
purchase an existing enterprise. |
Such comparison constitutes the percentage of the treaty |
applicant's investment in the enterprise. That percentage must |
compare favorable in the fashion of an inverted sliding scale |
starting with a high percentage of investment for a lower cost |
enterprise. The percentage of investment decreases at a |
