Hi everyone,

I’m currently in California on an E-2 visa and I’m planning to move to Florida. I also want to move my business with me and continue operating it there and stop paying taxes in cali.

From what I understand, I shouldn’t need to close my company and start a new one. My understanding is that I would keep the same EIN and business entity, but I’m not really sure what steps I actually need to take to make the move legally and properly.

The law firm that helped me obtain my E-2 specializes in California, and they don’t really know the Florida side of things, so they haven’t been able to give me much guidance.

I’d prefer to handle as much of this myself as possible rather than hiring another attorney if it’s something relatively straightforward.

Has anyone here moved their E-2 business from one state to another, specifically from California to Florida? What paperwork did you have to file? Did you keep the same company and EIN? Were there any E-2 immigration issues or notifications required?

Any guidance, personal experiences, or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Thaaaaanks

I overheard a woman complaining to a manager about another member taking selfies in the locker room/sauna area while other people were naked around her. I remember thinking, that’s insane, but also figured it was one of those things that would never happen to me and probably doesn’t happen often lol.

Well, guess what happened today…

I finished my class and went into the sauna. I was laying down there with my arms up covering part of my face/eyes, not really paying attention to anyone around me. For whatever reason, I looked up for a sec and saw a girl holding her phone up, recording a video WITH ME CLEARLY IN THE BACKGROUND. The second I looked at her, she quickly lowered her phone and put it away.

And yes, I was naked.

I was honestly so shocked that I didn’t even know how to react in the moment. The fact that she immediately hid her phone when she realized I saw her makes me think she knew exactly what she was doing, and I’m not saying she was purposely filming ME, but still… a very shit situation.

I immediately put my towel around me, left, and went to the showers and back home.

And because I know some of you will ask:

-why didn’t I say anything: idk. I just feel like people are crazier and crazier nowadays and I really don’t like confrontation or having someone get crazy or deny what i’m saying so I just left.

What really frustrates me is that this is a very expensive gym. How are there not stricter policies and enforcement around phone use in locker rooms, saunas, and other nude areas? It seems like the most basic rule imaginable: no phones in spaces where people are changing, showering, or sitting naked. SPECIALLY IN A SAUNA WHERE YOU CANNOT HAVE A LITHIUM BATTERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone else experienced this? Did you report it? And did your equinox actually do anything about it?

EDIT: I did report it to management. They asked me what she looked like (which was difficult because, honestly, she looked like every other girl in there), apologized for what happened, and that was pretty much it. They didn’t explain what, if anything, they planned to do about it.

The point of this post isn’t to vent online and then do nothing. I’m curious to hear from people who have dealt with similar situations. Did management take it seriously? Did they actually follow up or enforce any consequences? I’m trying to figure out whether this kind of response is normal or if I should be pushing for more action.
