A:Yes. Visa Business Plans specializes in preparing impact analysis reports and business plans using the guidelines established by the Matter of Dhanasar decision. A detailed description of the proposed endeavor is presented, assuring that every relevant aspect is discussed, and why it will have impact on national interests in a given field. Visa Business Plans performs exhaustive research that explores the “problem” or “opportunity” that has been deemed to be of national interest, then quantifies the impact of the proposed endeavor, whether in monetary or other benefits to the United States. Visa Business Plans can demonstrate that the proposed endeavor has significant potential to employ U.S. workers with a 5-year staffing plan. When appropriate, our business plans make clear reference to indirect job creation potential.

A:Our custom-made business plans vary in rates based on attorney needs, delivery time, and financial projections. We do not use templates or automated formats. We guarantee a rigorous, professional document for your U.S. business visa application. Our fees start at $1,800 (short E business plans), $2,200 (L business plans), $2,300 (EB-2/NIW personal endeavor plans), and $6,000 (EB-5 business plans). 

A:Our delivery time is approximately 10 business days from the moment we receive all the necessary information. However, for an additional fee, we can deliver a business plan in as little as 24 hours.

A:First, we want to understand your perspective on the case. For example, are there any potential issues we should be aware of or address in the business plan? Is there anything specific you would like us to highlight? Is there a hard deadline? Second, we schedule a meeting with your client to better understand their unique needs and learn more about their business, laying the foundation for a tailored business plan. For example, we assess how much guidance your client requires. This meeting will also allow us to explain our process and outline the next steps. At this time, we commit to the project's delivery date. Clients are required to fill out an online smart questionnaire. For time-strapped clients or those who need additional support, we can also conduct a one-on-one Zoom meeting to gather the necessary information. If during the process we identify a red flag that may potentially impact the client’s visa, we will immediately contact you. Once the business plan is ready, we email it to the client for their approval. After their approval, we send it to you, the immigration attorney handling the case. We consider the project complete only when both you and the client are satisfied with the business plan.

A:We prioritize visa approval. Therefore, our process is radically different from other companies. Our 77-point quality control ensures excellence and timely delivery by identifying strengths and weaknesses. Visa Business Plans provides strategic insights throughout the process that spans beyond writing plans. Additionally, we: Provide Credible and realistic numbers: Tired of unrealistic business plans? We meticulously develop realistic revenue, staffing, and profit projections aligned with industry benchmarks. Meet adjudication criteria: We ensure our business plans align with immigration policies and adjudication standards because we understand their impact on your client's application. We’re familiar with the USCIS policy manual, FAM, and AAO decisions. Save you time: Frustrated with errors and multiple revisions in business plans? Because we ensure high quality through intensive standards, our plans average 1.8 rounds of minor changes, saving you valuable time. Tell your client’s story: We know a business plan is more than a collection of dense, dry information. A business plan is a story of inspiration, determination, and success that must be communicated clearly. For that reason, we craft articulate and persuasive business plans that do more than inform visa officers of the facts. Our team includes highly skilled writers who can tell your client’s business story in a way that’s accessible, informative, and compelling. 

A:You may pay by credit card, Zelle, bank wire transfer, or check in US Dollars.

A:We strongly believe that shorter business plans are more effective. Our standard business plans are approximately 15-20 pages long. Our short plans, designed for U.S. posts that impose a cap on the number of pages for visa filings (Canada, Spain, Germany, etc.) range from 3 to 10 pages.

A:All of our plans include 5-year staffing plans, 5-year revenue projections, and 5-year projected profit and loss statements. They also include a relevant market analysis.

A:We do things right the first time—consistently. Thus, the majority of our plans do not require revisions. When modifications are needed, our plans average only 1.8 rounds of minor revisions due to our high standards.
