A spouse's outside job offer may help household planning, but it does not establish the investor's treaty nationality, committed capital, control or the enterprise's non-marginality. Ask how the real commitment will be assessed rather than borrowing a figure from someone else's application — spending more money does not repair an unresolved nationality or operating-business problem. Amounts already paid in cash count; the financed portion counts only if the investor is personally liable and the debt is not secured by the assets of the business being acquired. Substantiality is measured against the actual cost of the particular business, and nationality, the applicant's ability to direct the enterprise, and the enterprise's own operating requirements all need to be independently satisfied. Establish the generally required at least 50% ownership by nationals of the relevant treaty country and review the principal’s actual eligibility and control. What is assessed is whether the enterprise has the present or future capacity to provide more than a minimal living for the investor and family, and a list of planned positions alone does not establish that capacity.
