Visa Franchise notes that the E-2 Visa has suffered several policy changes in 2020. These changes were in large part due to the mandate in Section 10 of Executive Order 13780, requiring the Department of State to review all non-immigrant visa reciprocity agreements to make sure they are truly reciprocal. As a result of these changes, citizens of Macedonia are no longer eligible for E-2 Visa, the citizens of Chile, Denmark, Norway, and Latvia have their E-2 Visa validity period reduced, and the citizens of Mexico have their E-2 Visa validity period extended from 12 months to 48 months. In 2020, only 23,493 foreign nationals obtained an E-2 Visa, while 3,266 applicants were rejected. This translates to a denial rate of 12,21%, which is less than half of the 25% denial rate for all non-immigrant visas.

According to Visa Franchise, Japan is the country with the highest E-2 Visa issuances with 8,654 Japanese citizens obtaining this type of visa in 2020. Most of the Japanese E-2 Visas are for E-2 managers that are transferred to work in a E-2 company in the United States. The next places in the report are occupied by Canada with 2,500 approvals, South Korea with 1,973 approvals, Germany with 1,487 approvals, France with 1,279 approvals, Great Britain and Northern Ireland with 1,275 approvals, Mexico with 838 approvals, Italy with 827 approvals, Spain with 583 approvals, and on the 10th place Taiwan, China with 390 approvals. Most E-2 Visas from countries besides Japan and Germany represent investor visas applied by individual entrepreneurs who plan to operate a small U.S. business.

Getting approval for certain immigrant and non-immigrant visas has become more difficult due to the stricter immigration policies implemented under the Trump administration. The E-2 Visa is one of the most popular and sought-after visas in the entire US immigration system. This visa allows applicants to renew indefinitely, enter and exit the US multiple times in the validity period and stay in the US for as long as two years per entry.

Visa Franchise is providing a smooth and secure path for families moving to the US through the E-2 investor visa. They can help foreign nationals looking to legally reside in the US by investing in a US small business. Their team analyzes the best business opportunities for their clients based on their unique profiles. Their research team constantly analyzes franchise and business concepts in order to deliver the best small business investment solutions directly to the customer.

Hong Kong, China, February 22, 2018 /Xinwengao.com/ - Decawave UWB technology combines with Nordic’s nRF52832 Bluetooth LE solution to support prototyping, testing, and implementation of accurate, reliable Real Time Location Systems without the need for extensive RF expertise

Nordic Semiconductor today announces that Decawave, a Dublin, Ireland-based fabless semiconductor company, has selected Nordic’s award-winning Bluetooth#174; Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) nRF52832 System-on-Chip (SoC) for its DWM1001 module. The module forms the foundation of scalable Two-Way-Ranging (TWR) Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) potentially comprising thousands of tags.

The DWM1001 module combines Decawave’s DW1000 Ultra Wide Band (UWB) transceiver, the nRF52832 SoC, a three-axis accelerometer, a UWB Channel 5 printed PCB antenna (6.5 GHz), and a Bluetooth LE chip antenna.

The module is accompanied by Decawave’s DWM1001-Dev development board and MDEK1001 evaluation kit which enables users with limited RF design experience to program and evaluate the DWM1001 module. Development is further simplified because Nordic’s unique software architecture cleanly separates the RF software protocol stack from the developer’s application code eliminating the possibliity of code development and compilation corrupting the stack, and accelerating time-to-market.

The DWM1001 module is based on Decawave’s DW1000 single-chip, IEEE802.15.4-2011 UWB-compliant transceiver. The technology is immune to multipath fading which is key to guaranteeing high reliability—within 2cm precision—in indoor environments. The 6.8Mbps data rate capability reduces the air time, enabling the real-time location of thousands of tags, as well as low power consumption for battery-operated devices.

In the module, the nRF52832 SoC provides Bluetooth LE connectivity to Bluetooth 4.0 (and later) smartphones and tablets allowing end customers to configure, control, and monitor RTLS applications. The nRF52832 SoC’s powerful 64MHz, 32-bit ARM#174; Cortex#174; M4F processor not only runs Nordic’s S132 SoftDevice (a Bluetooth 5-certifed RF software protocol stack) but also the module’s RTLS firmware and supervisory functions. The SoC’s 512 kB Flash memory application and powerful microprocessor support customer location- and sensor-fusion algorithms, and Over-the-Air Device Firmware Updates (OTA-DFU). The S132 SoftDevice also offers mesh capability, enabling scalable networking.

The DWM1001 module is a cost-efficient development platform targeted at low-to-mid volume industrial, healthcare, retail, and consumer applications. For example, the technology could be used to avoid collisions between people and robots in a factory, or for advanced analytics or navigation services to locate medical equipment in a hospital; tools and spare parts in a warehouse; or shopping carts at a retail center.

Nordic’s nRF52832 Bluetooth LE SoC, a member of Nordic’s sixth generation of ultra low power (ULP) wireless connectivity solutions, combines an ARM microprocessor with a 2.4GHz multiprotocol radio (supporting Bluetooth 5, ANT#8482;, and proprietary 2.4GHz RF software) featuring -96dB RX sensitivity, with 512kB Flash memory and 64kB RAM. When launched, the SoC was the world’s highest performance single-chip Bluetooth LE solution.

The SoC is supplied with Nordic’s S132 SoftDevice which supports Central, Peripheral, Broadcaster and Observer Bluetooth LE roles, supports up to twenty connections, and enables concurrent role operation.

“The key factors in our decision to choose the nRF52832 SoC were its competitive feature/price ratio, ultra low power consumption to support customers’ low duty cycle applications, the maturity of the RF software stack, and the clean separation between the SoftDevice and customer application code,” says Mickael Viot, Vice President of Marketing at Decawave.

“Nordic’s online community and support is also very important to SME customers specializing in our target applications.”

Hong Kong, China, July 4, 2017 /Xinwengao.com/ - Recently, the BX7 SUV became the first new model of the Borgward Group granted a European Whole Vehicle Type Approval (WVTA) certificate, which is issued by Soci#233;t#233; Nationale de Certification et d’Homologation (SNCH, Luxembourg), with the testing of vehicle by T#220;V Rheinland This certificate will allow the Borgward BX7 to be sold in all EU countries in the future.

Thanks to the combined efforts of T#220;V Rheinland teams from China and Germany, the very first WVTA certificate was obtained for the BX7, further highlighting the strength and global resource advantages of T#220;V Rheinland in the field of vehicle testing and certification.

Dr. Tilo Schweers, Head of Development of Borgward Group AG, Holger Huetz, Vice President of T#220;V Rheinland Type Approval and Engineering, and Walter Schulz, German vehicle safety expert graced the presentation ceremony in Cologne, Germany.

The EU’s latest WVTA certification is based on the European Economic Commission Regulations and European Union Directives and Regulations. Under these regulations, all vehicles, motorcycles, and various parts and systems intended for entry into European countries must receive the certification and meet the necessary environmental, safety, and safety standards.

“We are much honored to have passed the most stringent European certification process, which recognizes and honors Borgward’s automotive product development and product quality. In truth, BX7 not only has advanced technology, but in its development and production process has also undergone rigorous testing and verification, and has completed myriad types of substantive testing in countries around the world, making it a truly global model,” said Dr. Schweers.

“As one of the pioneers of the German automobile industry, Borgward consistently lives up to its name as being an innovator. This once again demonstrates our team spirit at T#220;V Rheinland. Moreover, the craftsmanship of the product and excellence of the international BX7 team are the basis of this project,” exclaimed Mr. Huetz.

Authoritative certification service clears obstacles for vehicle manufacturers

With decades of experience and accreditations in all major markets, T#220;V Rheinland offers a broad scope of testing and certification services for vehicle enterprises, and is committed to improving vehicle safety performance as well as operation and quality management systems for the vehicle industry.

Chinese and foreign expert teams at T#220;V Rheinland are well familiar with the latest technical standards and regulations of the European Union, and are able to provide E-Mark certification, including WVTA, for automobiles and motorcycles as well as for components and parts, helping vehicle enterprises enter into the EU market successfully with a sound global service network and technical resources.

The Euro 6 emission standard, the toughest standard yet tightening emissions limits, has been implemented in the EU in order to eliminate the majority of exhaust pollutants. In light of this, Real Driving Emissions (RDE) testing has become a mandatory requirement. During the certification process, the Borgward BX7 successfully passed the Euro 6 RDE test in Germany under the supervision of T#220;V Rheinland.

Cooperation between the two parties started in 2015, and T#220;V Rheinland has been helping Borgward to improve safety and quality with a variety of services, including overseas road testing, regulations and standards training, functional safety, quality management system audits, and second-party audits of its 4S shops.

Value product development for entry into the EU market

According to the project manager of T#220;V Rheinland, close attention was paid to the evolvement of regulations in the targeted market from the early stages of product development, and test conditions were fully considered in the test planning, such as the Euro 6 emissions testing requirements for the E10 reference fuel, in order to shorten the project cycle.

Apart from completing the relevant homologation items with regard to safety, environmental requirements, manufacturers also need to pay special attention to various other requirements, including toxic and hazardous substances, volatile organic compounds (VOC), the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), anti-skid and anti-rust properties, pedestrian protection, car recycling, and the proposed eCall automatic emergency calling system.

As a prestigious and independent testing and certification service provider, T#220;V Rheinland has more than 30 years of experience in Greater China, and its Mobility Department has now been authorized by five national road traffic authorities, including Germany’s KBA, the Netherlands’ RDW, Luxembourg’s SNCH, Ireland’s NSAI, and Latvia’s CSDD. In addition to traditional EEC/ECE certification services, T#220;V Rheinland also has a wealth of experience and expertise in other certification services, including the CU-OTTC customs union, Australia’s ADR, Taiwan’s VSCC, India’s BIS, Indonesia’s SNI, Nigeria’s SONCAP, Brazil’s Inmetro, and the CoC of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. T#220;V Rheinland offers a number of testing and certification services for major vehicle manufacturers.
