#1 From another article, in July 2003
Karim says he and his wife applied for an E-2 investor visa on Jan. 22 [2003], less than two weeks before his pilgrimage [to Mecca, Saudi Arabia], believing that this was enough to adjust their status in the United States.

His wife's immigration status is also in question, officials said. On the application form, he is listed as president and his wife, Asia Karim, as vice president of his cellphone business, Wintel Wireless. He wrote that he invested $145,000 in the business. He gave his Houston address and a second address in Edmonton, Alberta. Court documents show that Karim obtained a Texas sales and use tax permit for his business in March 2001.

E-visas are nonimmigrant visas typically issued for two years. Foreign nationals have to apply for e-visas abroad, and they are issued at a U.S. embassy or consulate, said Patricia Mancha, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services in Dallas. "You can't apply for it from here; it won't protect your status in this country if you're here illegally," Mancha said. "And lying to an immigration officer is a federal offense."
