Me Dolly 55mm

I have been dreaming of the Me Dolly 55mm (kitten heel) So chic. But they have been out of stock forever! I have only been watching for a couple months now- Do you think I have hope they will eventually come back in stock? I know the Me Dolly has already been around for a while..

Obtaining EIN

I am surprised to find the process of obtaining an EIN is not a common topic here or on other E2 forums.

I expected the process to be straight forward, from what I read it only takes 10 minutes, but since starting the process I've learned that is only the case for American citizens obtaining an EIN. Foreign citizens must complete an entirely separate form, the SS-4, and mail or fax it to the IRS. The process can take up to four weeks.

This is a major hurdle and roadblock, one that came as a shock to me because it's never spoken about.

What has been your process getting your EIN? I've since faxed my form to the IRS, will give it about a week and then call to follow up. I'm hoping to make this as efficient as possible to get my US business bank account opened as quickly as possible.

I am starting a business that would require a small vehicle. Nothing fancy, just something to get to and from jobs for me and employee use. I estimate spending max $10k on this. However, it’s a bit complicated to buy the vehicle before I am actually living in the US. I have to deal with insurance, and safe long term parking until my approval and I move. 

My question is, is it possible to “set aside” this money in my application, for me to purchase once I am in the US. I know this likely won’t “count” towards my investment total, but would it mean anything to the officer reviewing my application? 

I am also wondering similarly about an payroll reserve, and emergency reserve.

Thanks for your input.
