What are the limitations of E-1 visa?

What makes a will legal?
Any adult of sound mind is entitled to make a will. Beyond that, there are just a few technical requirements:
1.The will must be typewritten or computer generated (unless it is a valid holograph will, as discussed above).
2.The document must state that it is your will.
3.You must date and sign the will.
4.The will must be signed by two witnesses. The witnesses must watch you sign the will although they do not have to read it. The witnesses must be people who do not inherit anything under the will.
You don't have to have your will notarized. However, if you and your witnesses sign an affidavit (sworn statement) before a notary public, you can help simplify the court procedures required to prove the validity of the will after you die.
What is the difference between a Living Will and an ordinary Will?
A Living Will is only concerned with medical treatment when you are still alive. You cannot use it to communicate your wishes on any matters normally dealt with by an ordinary Will, or Last Will & Testament. In other words, you cannot use it to determine who will inherit your property when you die, who will be your executors, or who will be guardians to your children.
What is the difference between a Living Will and a Power of Attorney?
When you give somebody Power of Attorney, you confer the authority to conduct legal and financial business on your behalf. However, an Attorney is not permitted to make any decisions on health care.
You therefore need to make a Living Will and appoint a 'Health Care Proxy' if you want to give somebody the power to make decisions on your future health care.
You should note that there are no laws in England and Wales about Living Wills, and whether such a Will will be considered enforceable depends on the way it is written and what it asks doctors to do.
What is power of attorney?
A power of attorney is a document that evidences the creation of a relationship between two people who are designated as the "principal" and the "agent". The principal designates the agent in the document, and the agent is authorized to act on the principal's behalf--to stand in the shoes of the principal--for whatever business the power of attorney permits. A power of attorney can be general, so that the agent can conduct any sort of business on behalf of the principal, or it may be specific, limited to the transactions expressly provided for in the document. Third parties may treat the agent as if he or she is the principal in any transactions which the agent is authorized to conduct. Powers of attorney are commonly used in all sorts of business activities, and are very frequently executed on behalf of individuals.
I'm unhappy with the result in my case: can I appeal?
An appeal is usually an option, but it may or may not remedy your dissatisfaction. Courts on appeal are limited to deciding questions of law, and not fact. Courts on appeal are reluctant to overturn a jury's verdict, unless there is absolutely no evidence to support the verdict. The theory is that juries, who hear the evidence and see the witnesses who testify, are better able to judge close questions.
If you do appeal, and win, the most common remedy is that your case will be sent back for a new trial. Even if you win on retrial, it may be more cost-effective to accept the original decision, as incorrect as it may be.
Can my case be heard in federal court?
Some litigants prefer to have their cases heard in federal court, if possible. This is especially true if there is a fear of "home-town bias" if a case is brought in state court. Federal courts have the authority, or jurisdiction, to hear cases involving questions of federal law. If your case involves a federal law or a federal program, or if the United States government is a party to the action, it may be heard in federal court. Federal courts also may hear cases between citizens of two or more states if the amount involved in the suit is more than $75,000.
Who will hear the case in commercial lawsuits?

How long will business lawsuit take?
The answer to this question varies. The length of time a lawsuit takes depends on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the case, the number of parties involved, the willingness of the parties to resolve the case, and how busy the court is. A relatively simple suit, not involving any complex legal or factual issues, could be over in a few months, while a very complicated, multi-party suit, could take years to resolve.
