A visa program designed to encourage the American dream of business ownership has turned into a nightmare for a businesswoman from the United Kingdom. Sue Fern, the owner of the business development firm Event Pro-ssss, said she is trapped in the United States, unable to return to England to see her family under provisions of an E-2 visa she acquired 10 years ago in order to start her business. If she leaves the United States, there’s no guarantee she’ll be allowed to return, she said.
