  • Nina Mold, below, the owner of Top Performance hair salon in the Green Tree plaza moved her family from England to Naples in 2003 on an E-2 visa, which allows foreign investors to start a small business. The visa allowed Mold to bring her daughters as dependents, but only allows them to stay until they turn 21. Mold’s oldest daughter, Stephanie, 18, is a freshman at FGCU. The family is worried that she will not be able to finish school and will have to travel back to England on her own.
