I appreciate you listing the steps you took / people you went to in order to fill the gaps.

E2 Visa is either a 2 or 5 year Visa which has to be renewed and never leads to a green card.  

One thing to note when getting conventional mortgages and spouses.There is a 10 limit per person for conventional financing.You can either do 10 conventional in each person's name which would be 20 mortgages for 2 people or if you do the mortgages jointly, will only allow 10 in total.My thoughts are not to own joint assets until you are both married.
