I just returned from the Open Atlas Summit 2025 in Silicon Valley, the largest high-skilled immigration event in the U.S., where leaders, attorneys, and service providers came together to discuss strategies for those highly skilled individuals looking to call the U.S. their permanent home. At Visa Business Plans, we had the privilege of presenting our immigration solutions and networking with industry experts who share the same goal: helping extraordinary talent secure approvals to live and work in the U.S.
One of the key takeaways from the event was the critical role of field of endeavor plans in EB1A petitions. With approval rates for EB1A currently in the 90% range, as noted during the Summit, applicants who provide well-structured supporting documentation can significantly increase their chances of success.
What is a Field of Endeavor Plan?
A field of endeavor plan is a highly technical project we craft to show how the U.S. will benefit from the beneficiary’s presence and contributions in their area of expertise. This type of plan clearly outlines the applicant’s future work, the significance of their proposed activities, and how those activities will create value for the country.
In simple terms, it demonstrates that the applicant is not only an accomplished professional but also someone whose continued work in the U.S. will deliver tangible national benefits. A well-written plan provides adjudicators with a clear narrative of what the beneficiary intends to do and why it matters.
Why It Matters in an EB1A Petition
The EB1A is one of the most sought-after categories for individuals with extraordinary ability in fields such as business, science, arts, education, or athletics. While petitioners must provide extensive evidence of their past achievements, USCIS also wants to see a credible vision for the future.
This is where the field of endeavor plan makes a difference. It bridges past accomplishments with future contributions, strengthening the case by showing that the applicant’s presence in the U.S. is not only justified but also highly beneficial. A strong plan helps attorneys present a petition that feels complete, compelling, and forward-looking.
Our Role
At Visa Business Plans, we specialize in crafting custom field of endeavor plans tailored to each individual’s profile and area of expertise. Drawing from our 30+ years in business consulting and 15+ years of experience in business immigration planning, we know how to highlight the elements adjudicators are looking for and how to present them in a way that aligns with current adjudication trends.
Attending the Atlas Summit confirmed what we have known for years: success in high-skilled immigration cases depends on the right combination of past achievements and future vision. By presenting both in a clear, structured manner, our clients are better positioned to secure approvals.
