Our strategic approach to securing the E-1 visa for our client proved successful, resulting in a five-year approval. The E-1 visa recognizes the company's substantial international trade contributions and its role in enhancing the business landscape not only in Atlanta but across the United States.

Key Takeaways:

• Global Talent Integration:

The nearshore staffing component highlights the client's ability to harness global talent effectively, providing bilingual professionals who contribute to the success of their customers.

The client showcases adaptability and resilience, utilizing virtual platforms to conduct direct hiring processes and seamlessly integrate nearshore professionals into their operations.

• Strategic Business Model:

In the intricate world of business immigration, every successful visa application is not just a triumph for the individual or the company involved but also a showcase of strategy, knowledge, and meticulous planning. Today, we delve into a remarkable case study highlighting the experience of a client, an importer and distributor of spices and dried vegetables, aiming to establish themselves in the U.S. market. Their goal was clear, but the path was laden with the complexities of immigration law and the rigorous demands of an L-1A visa application.

Our client's ambition was to establish a substantial presence as a provider of food products in the U.S. market. This goal, set against the backdrop of global supply chain disruptions, presented unique challenges and opportunities. As a business consulting firm with over 13 years of experience in business immigration, our role transcended the conventional. We were tasked with crafting a business plan and navigating the labyrinth of visa regulations, identifying potential flaws in the business model, and consulting closely with immigration attorneys to chart the best course forward.

A Rich Tapestry of Flavors: Establishing a Global Footprint

Our client, deeply rooted in the import and distribution of spices and dried vegetables, aimed to introduce a diverse range of flavors and culinary traditions from various corners of the globe to the American food industry.

The client's portfolio boasted an extensive range of high-quality spices and dried vegetables, each with a story of exotic lands and traditional farming practices. Their commitment to quality and authenticity set them apart in their home country, and they were poised to replicate this success in the U.S. market. This wasn't just about business expansion; it was about cultural exchange and introducing a new palette of flavors to American consumers.

In the context of the L-1A visa application, this business model presented unique opportunities and challenges. The L-1A visa, designed for executives and managers transferred within multinational companies, was the perfect fit for our client's needs. However, to ensure compliance with the stringent requirements of the U.S. immigration system, we meticulously aligned the business plan with the regulatory framework.

Navigating the Labyrinth: Beyond Business Planning

Securing an L-1A visa for our client's executive was akin to navigating a complex labyrinth of regulations and requirements. Our role extended beyond traditional business planning. It involved a deep dive into the intricacies of immigration law, specifically tailored to the unique aspects of our client's business model.

The business plan we crafted demonstrated our client's executive role in managing a significant segment of the company. We meticulously documented the executive's responsibilities, illustrating their eligibility for the L-1A classification. This included extremely detailed job descriptions and documentation, such as organizational charts, job descriptions, and operational workflows.

A Fusion of Market Insights and Regulatory Compliance

Our strategy was underpinned by rigorous research and strategic planning, encompassing both market dynamics and regulatory compliance. We delved into current market trends, supply chain disruptions, and the increasing demand for diverse food products in the U.S. market. This comprehensive analysis was instrumental in showcasing the potential success of our client's business venture and its value to the U.S. economy, a critical component of the L-1A visa application.

Moreover, we explored how our client's products aligned with guidelines set by prominent international organizations like UNICEF. This alignment underscored the social and health benefits of our client's offerings, further strengthening the case for their business's positive impact in the U.S.

Securing the L-1A Visa: A Testament to Strategic Expertise

The culmination of our meticulous planning, in-depth research, and strategic alignment resulted in our client's executive successfully securing the L-1A visa. This achievement was not just a procedural victory; it was a testament to the effectiveness of combining detailed business insights with a deep understanding of immigration law.

In the world of immigration, challenges can be the stepping stones to success, and this rings particularly true for our client who embarked on an EB-5 endeavor in the digital health sector. In a realm where innovation meets healthcare, our client's vision was to revolutionize patient care through digital health solutions. Their mission was to empower specialty healthcare providers to extend their reach and offer top-notch care outside the traditional medical practice setting. This ambitious endeavor involved a unique blend of digital therapeutics and remote chronic care management.

Client Background

Our client aimed to act as an extension of physicians' offices, providing a bridge to unparalleled patient care. They achieved this by combining digital therapeutics with chronic disease management services, offering physician-approved, tailored healthcare programs for individual patients. The execution of this vision involved a licensed team of healthcare experts, including registered nurses (RNs), medical assistants (MAs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and nutritionists.

The Challenge: An RFE that Demanded Clarity and Credibility

However, the path to an EB-5 visa was not without its hurdles. Our client faced a challenging Request for Evidence (RFE) from USCIS, which questioned the feasibility and sustainability of their innovative business model. This was a pivotal moment, and our client sought our expertise to craft a business plan that would not only address these concerns but also demonstrate their merit for the EB-5 visa.

Our Approach: Crafting a Credible and Realistic Business Plan

We understood that the key to success lay in presenting a business plan that showcased the viability of our client's digital health venture. Our team of experts delved deep into the details, conducting extensive research and analysis to create a compelling narrative. We highlighted the following key points:

• Market Research: We provided in-depth insights into the digital health industry, showcasing its rapid growth and potential. Our analysis revealed that the demand for remote healthcare services was on the rise, creating a favorable market for our client.

• Business Model: We emphasized how our client's model was uniquely positioned to address the evolving healthcare landscape. By facilitating remote care through a multidisciplinary team, they were providing a solution that met a growing need.

• Financial Projections: Our meticulously crafted financial projections showcased a sustainable and profitable future for our client's business. We demonstrated a clear path to revenue generation, ensuring that USCIS had no doubts about the project's economic viability.

• Compliance: To address concerns about regulatory compliance, we detailed how our client would adhere to all healthcare regulations, ensuring the highest standard of patient care and safety.

The Outcome: A Well-Deserved EB-5 Visa

Our comprehensive business plan, backed by thorough research and analysis, successfully demonstrated that our client's digital health venture was not only credible but also economically viable. Despite the initial challenges posed by the RFE, USCIS approved our client's EB-5 petition, granting them the opportunity to pursue their innovative healthcare vision in the United States.

This success story highlights the importance of a well-crafted business plan in the EB-5 visa process. It demonstrates that with dedication, expertise, and a clear vision, even the most complex business models can secure the support they need to thrive in the United States. We are proud to have played a role in helping our client achieve their immigration and business goals, and we look forward to supporting many more innovators in the future.

In the world of immigration, success stories often come with their unique set of challenges. Today, we are excited to share a case study that highlights one such success story, where our expertise played a crucial role in helping an immigration attorney secure an NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa for one of their clients, a nutritionist with a vision to revolutionize the American food industry. This narrative was not just about immigration; it was about addressing critical health issues and making a positive impact on the lives of millions. Let's dive into the details of how it all unfolded.

The Genesis

It all started when an immigration attorney reached out to our team at Visa Business Plans. They were working with a client, a highly skilled nutritionist with extensive experience in developing and distributing enhanced nutritional formulas and fortified food products. The client's dream was to bring their expertise to the United States and create a calcium-fortified ice cream made from natural and organic ingredients.

The Challenge

The client's immigration endeavor faced a significant hurdle in the form of a Request for Evidence (RFE). The immigration attorney needed a compelling business plan that could justify the granting of an NIW visa and would address the challenges raised by the U.S. government. The stakes were high, as this visa was vital for our client's American dream. We needed to demonstrate not only the economic benefits of their business but also how it aligned with the national interest of the United States.

Solving a National Health Issue

As we delved into the project, we uncovered a pressing problem in the United States – deteriorating bone health. Osteoporosis and related bone diseases were on the rise, taking a toll on individuals' quality of life and significantly increasing healthcare expenditure. Not only did this negatively impact people's well-being, but it also represented a substantial drain on the nation's economy.

The client's vision was to develop a calcium-fortified ice cream, a delicious and convenient way for people to enhance their calcium intake naturally. By addressing this critical health issue, our client's business had the potential to contribute significantly to the national interest. We realized that our client's mission aligned perfectly with the goal of improving public health, making their case even stronger.

Tackling Malnutrition

Our research didn't stop there. We discovered that malnutrition was becoming an increasingly prevalent health issue in the U.S., with around 40 million Americans and 12 million children often skipping meals and resorting to cheap, non-nutritious food options. The client's focus on natural and organic ingredients in their ice cream meant they were not just addressing calcium deficiency but also contributing to combating malnutrition.

The Outcome

With a comprehensive narrative that showcased the potential of the client's venture in addressing national health issues, we submitted our NIW business plan to the immigration attorney handling the case. We are thrilled to announce that our efforts paid off, and the client's NIW visa was approved!

This case study underscores the power of collaboration between immigration attorneys and Visa Business Plans. Together, we can help individuals with extraordinary skills and visions come to the United States, all while addressing pressing national issues. The client, the nutritionist, is now on the path to making a sweet impact on the American food industry and improving the health of millions.

In today's digital age, influencers have become significant players in various industries, from fashion and beauty to health and wellness. But can an influencer obtain an E-2 visa to operate their business in the United States? The answer is yes, and we've successfully helped a renowned Instagram influencer in the health and wellness space achieve this goal. Here's how we did it.

Understanding the E-2 Visa

The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa allows individuals from treaty countries to enter and work in the United States based on a substantial investment in a U.S. business. The business must be active and generate more than enough income to provide a minimal living for the investor and their family. This visa is renewable indefinitely, as long as the business remains operational and meets the visa requirements.

Case Study: Health and Wellness Influencer

Our client, a prominent Instagram influencer in the health and wellness industry, approached us with the goal of expanding their business into the United States. With a substantial following and a thriving online presence, the influencer had built a brand around health tips, wellness programs, and fitness products. Here’s how we helped them secure their E-2 visa.

Crafting a Comprehensive Business Plan

A solid business plan is crucial for an E-2 visa application. We crafted a detailed business plan that included the following elements:

1. Business Overview We provided a thorough overview of the influencer's business, highlighting their online presence, follower engagement, and revenue streams. This included income from sponsored posts, brand partnerships, and sales of wellness products.

2. Market Analysis We conducted a comprehensive market analysis to demonstrate the demand for health and wellness content in the U.S. market. This analysis included data on the growing popularity of wellness influencers and the financial potential of the industry.

3. Investment Details The business plan detailed the influencer's investment in the U.S. This included costs associated with setting up a physical office, hiring local staff, marketing expenses, and purchasing equipment. We ensured that all financial figures were precise and backed by documentation.

4. Operational Plan We outlined a clear operational plan that described how the business would function in the U.S. This included day-to-day operations, content creation processes, and strategies for engaging with the local audience.

5. Job Creation A critical component of the E-2 visa is demonstrating the business's potential to create jobs for U.S. workers. We detailed the positions that the influencer’s business would create, including social media managers, content creators, and administrative staff.

Demonstrating Economic Impact

To strengthen the application, we emphasized the economic impact of the influencer’s business. We highlighted how the business would contribute to the U.S. economy through job creation, local partnerships, and tax contributions. We also showcased the influencer’s plans to collaborate with local wellness brands and fitness centers, further integrating their business into the U.S. market.

Highlighting the Influencer's Success

The influencer's existing success played a crucial role in the application. We included metrics such as follower count, engagement rates, and previous successful brand partnerships to demonstrate the influencer's ability to attract and retain a substantial audience. Testimonials from brands and followers added credibility and showcased the influencer’s impact in the health and wellness space.

Last year, we wrote a business plan for a client who invested US$12,338 and got his E-2 approved. You’re probably thinking that there’s no way this is a substantial investment. Also, probably, this case probably screams marginality.

So how did our business plan address substantiality and marginality?

1. Our client purchased a viable business that had retained earnings of approximately US$35,000.

2. Under the business purchase agreement, the E-2 enterprise would be paid a $1,700 bonus per month by the seller for reaching specific agreed-upon financial goals.

3. The E-2 company was already operating and had created three U.S. jobs -and was projecting to create four additional jobs in the short term.

4. Our client’s business provided a vital service in an isolated community of 5,002 people. A retailer in a small town can benefit from being a big fish in a small pond!

There’s case law that supports low E-2 investments.

In 1988, the Board of Immigration Appeals, in a precedent decision known as Matter of Walsh and Pollard, (1) ruled that E-2 visas may be issued despite a low investment - as long as the investment is sufficient to create a viable enterprise in the United States.

This decision remains codified in the Foreign Affairs Manual of the Department of State (2). This means that if you have an E-2 case with low investment, you can point the consular officer reviewing the case to “9 FAM 402.9-6(G) The Walsh/Pollard Case.”

At Visa Business Plans, we have prepared numerous successful E-2 cases with small investments ranging from $12,000 to $50,000.

We know these types of cases are not for the faint of heart. We work hand-in-hand with immigration attorneys to thoroughly vet and handle E-2 cases with low investment.

We have developed a methodology to address marginality and substantiality in our business plans. Our proprietary 77-point quality assurance process allows us to assess 77 different reasons E-2 business plans are challenged by consular or immigration officers, including marginality and substantiality.

We also have experience responding to RFEs via business plans and other deliverables, such as expert opinion letters that address substantiality for E-2 visa cases with low investment.

Need help in addressing substantiality and marginality in an immigration business plan, expert opinion letter, or another type of deliverable? We can certainly help. Call us today!

Client Background:

Our client, a dynamic and ambitious entrepreneur, sought to secure an E-2 visa to pursue various business ventures in the United States. Unlike the typical E-2 visa application scenario, where individuals usually focus on a single company, our client had a portfolio of businesses spanning different sectors. This presented a unique challenge but also an opportunity for an innovative approach.

Challenges:

The primary challenge lies in the client's diverse business portfolio. Typically, E-2 visa applications are centered around a single company, showcasing its viability and the applicant's substantial investment. With multiple businesses in play, each with its own dynamics and operations, it was crucial to find a cohesive and compelling strategy that would satisfy E-2 visa requirements.

Our Approach:

Recognizing the need for a strategic and unified approach, we proposed to the immigration attorney handling the case a solution that involved structuring all of the client's businesses under a single holding company. This umbrella structure provided a cohesive framework that could effectively meet the E-2 visa criteria.

A holding company is a business entity whose primary purpose is to own and control other companies, typically known as subsidiaries. Unlike operating companies that engage in day-to-day business activities, a holding company's main function is strategic. It holds the ownership interests, such as stocks or assets, of its subsidiaries, exercising influence and control over their management and operations. The holding company itself may not produce goods or services; instead, it generates income through dividends, interest, and perhaps management fees from its subsidiaries. This structure allows for centralized management, efficient allocation of resources, and strategic decision-making across a diversified portfolio of businesses. Holding companies often provide a level of legal and financial separation between the subsidiaries, limiting the overall risk to the entire corporate structure.

Key Steps:

• Comprehensive Business Analysis:

We conducted an in-depth analysis of each business within the client's portfolio. This involved understanding their individual operations, financials, and potential for growth.

• Creation of Holding Company:

To streamline the E-2 visa application, the immigration attorney recommended the establishment of a holding company that would act as the E-2 entity for all the client's businesses. This approach allowed for centralized control and management.

• Investment Alignment:

We ensured that the investment made by the client across the various businesses aligned with the E-2 visa requirements. This involved meticulous documentation of the capital injected into each subsidiary business.

• Business Integration Strategy:

To showcase the cohesion of the diversified portfolio, we crafted a business integration strategy. This involved highlighting how the synergies between the businesses under the holding company contributed to overall success.

• Detailed Business Plan:

A master business plan for the holding company was meticulously crafted. This plan detailed the structure, governance, and strategic direction of the holding company, emphasizing how it served as the backbone for the entire business portfolio.

Individualized and comprehensive narratives were developed for each subsidiary, outlining their operations, financial projections, and the role they played within the overarching business ecosystem.

Our strategic approach resulted in a successful E-2 visa approval for our client. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) acknowledged the innovative structure of the application, highlighting the well-documented integration of the diverse businesses under the holding company.

Key Takeaways:

• Adaptability in Visa Strategies:

This case underscores the importance of adapting visa strategies to fit the unique circumstances of each client. In situations where multiple businesses are involved, a tailored approach is crucial for success.

• Cohesive Business Framework:

Establishing a holding company provided a unified framework that not only met E-2 visa criteria but also demonstrated the client's ability to manage and control a diversified portfolio effectively.

• Thorough Documentation:

Meticulous documentation of each business's financials, operations, and investment details played a pivotal role in presenting a compelling case to USCIS.

• Innovation in Business Integration:

Crafting a strategy that showcased how the various businesses complemented each other was essential. This highlighted the innovative thinking behind the client's approach and contributed to the overall success of the application.

In navigating the complexities of an E-2 visa application for a client with multiple businesses, our adaptive and strategic approach proved instrumental. The successful outcome not only secured our client's visa but also showcased the importance of business-oriented thinking in immigration strategies. This case serves as a testament to our commitment to tailored solutions that align with the unique goals and circumstances of each client.

Client Background:

Our client, a Mexican-based company specializing in exporting and distributing high-quality uniforms, sought to expand its operations into the United States market. With a strong focus on establishing partnerships with American businesses, they aimed to leverage the E-1 visa, which allows foreign nationals of treaty countries to enter the U.S. for the purpose of engaging in international trade.

Challenges:

One of the primary challenges our client faced was navigating the E-1 visa process as a foreign based outside the United States. While traditionally E-1 visas are associated with businesses formed in the U.S., the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) notes that the country of incorporation is irrelevant to the nationality requirement for E visa purposes. However, proving substantial trade and ensuring alignment with E-1 visa regulations remained crucial hurdles.

Solution:

Recognizing the unique circumstances of our client's business, we tailored a comprehensive business plan that highlighted their extensive experience in the uniform industry, their track record of substantial trade transactions with the U.S., and their strategic approach to entering the U.S. market. Leveraging the FAM's guidance, we emphasized the company's Mexican nationality and its intent to engage in substantial trade with American businesses.

Our business plan outlined detailed market research showcasing the demand for high-quality uniforms in the U.S. market and identified potential American partners interested in collaborating with our client. Additionally, we provided financial projections demonstrating the company's ability to generate substantial revenue through its proposed trade activities in the United States.

Results:

With our meticulously crafted business plan in hand, our client successfully submitted their E-1 visa application. Despite the unconventional nature of their business structure, the clarity and persuasiveness of our documentation played a pivotal role in securing approval for their visa. Our client was granted the E-1 visa, allowing them to establish their presence in the United States and pursue their international trade objectives with confidence.

Conclusion:

This case exemplifies the importance of strategic planning and expert guidance when navigating complex visa processes such as the E-1 visa. By leveraging our expertise in business planning and immigration law, we were able to develop a compelling project for our client, ultimately leading to a successful outcome. As businesses continue to explore opportunities for international expansion, partnering with experienced professionals is essential for overcoming regulatory challenges and achieving immigration goals.

Visa Business Plans

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers foreign investors the opportunity to obtain U.S. permanent residency by investing in a new commercial enterprise (NCE). EB-5 regulations state that the NCE must create at least 10 full-time, permanent new jobs for qualifying workers.

However, it's not widely known that investing in a troubled business can also qualify for an EB-5 visa. In this case study, we delve into a remarkable success story of an EB-5 visa investor who capitalized on the opportunity to invest in a troubled business. Our experience showcases how a well-executed business plan, focused on job preservation and creation, can yield favorable outcomes in the complex world of U.S. immigration.

The Challenge: EB-5 Investment in a Troubled Business

Our client, a foreign investor, aspired to secure U.S. permanent residency through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. A unique twist to their case was their intent to invest in a troubled business. This unconventional approach, though less explored, presented a promising opportunity.

Defining Troubled Business Criteria

To embark on this venture, the immigration attorney in charge of the case needed to ensure that the business in question met the USCIS criteria for a troubled business. These requirements included:

• Two Years of Existence: The business must have been in operation for a minimum of two years, a foundational stipulation to qualify.

• Incurred Net Loss: The business should have incurred net losses according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) during the 12-month or 24-month period prior to the priority date on the Immigrant Petition by the EB-5 investor. This financial downturn was a clear indicator of the business's troubled status.

• Loss Equal to 20% of Net Worth: A significant loss, equivalent to at least 20 percent of the business's net worth before the loss, was a pivotal factor.

Crafting the Preservation-Focused Business Plan

The crux of the attorney’s strategy lay in the business plan. As a result, we meticulously outlined how our client’s investment would prioritize job preservation and creation, along with an increase in net worth:

• Job Preservation: Our plan detailed how the incoming investor, through prudent financial and operational strategies, would stabilize the existing workforce. The goal was to protect and retain jobs during the transition phase.

• Job Creation: In addition to safeguarding existing positions, our plan showcased how the capital infusion would lead to the creation of new jobs.

• New worth: The EB-5 investment resulted in a substantial change in the net worth of the business, which exceeded he 140% increase required under the regulations.

• Credibility and Realism: Our business plan exuded credibility and realism. It laid out a clear roadmap for financial recovery, outlining how the troubled business would regain profitability and commit to hiring new employees as it flourished.

Navigating the Legal Landscape

While we successfully addressed the USCIS criteria and crafted a comprehensive business plan, we understand the importance of legal guidance. Throughout the process, we collaborated closely with an immigration attorney who provided expertise and ensured full compliance with immigration regulations.

This case study vividly illustrates the potential for success in EB-5 visa applications involving troubled businesses. By carefully aligning with USCIS requirements, creating a business plan that prioritizes job preservation and creation, and enlisting the guidance of an experienced immigration attorney, our client successfully achieved their U.S. permanent residency goals. This serves as a testament to the opportunities that lie within the EB-5 program for those who dare to explore unconventional pathways to immigration.

Client Case Study: Securing an E-2 Visa in the Restaurant Design Industry

When it comes to pursuing dreams and opportunities in the United States, the E-2 visa has become a beacon of hope for entrepreneurs worldwide. Our recent success story involves a dynamic client whose passion for restaurant design led them to not only achieve their American dream but also thrive in a competitive industry.

Our client, a visionary in the restaurant design industry, embarked on an ambitious venture to establish their firm in the United States. Specializing in an eclectic blend of branding, architecture, and interior design, the client sought to bring a unique perspective to the U.S. restaurant landscape. Their expertise spanned both the interior design and restaurant industries, making them a valuable asset to aspiring restaurateurs. However, the path to realizing this vision involved balancing the complex terrain of E-2 visa regulations and business principles. This is where our expertise came into play.

The Challenge: Demonstrating Viability for a Niche Business

To pursue their dream of establishing and expanding their restaurant design firm in the United States, our client sought the E-2 visa. This type of visa is designed for entrepreneurs and investors who want to develop and operate a business in the U.S. However, they faced a unique challenge.

The primary challenge was to demonstrate the viability and potential of a business that didn't require a high initial investment, typical in the consulting sector. Our client’s business model, while innovative, needed a strategic approach to highlight its capacity to significantly impact the U.S. market, a crucial aspect of E-2 visa approval.

Tailored Business Plan: The Key to Visa Approval

Recognizing the significance of a well-structured business plan in E-2 visa petitions, we worked closely with our client to craft a compelling case. Here are the key components of our approach:

• Demonstrating Essential Services: We emphasized how our client's restaurant design firm played a crucial role in the interior design and restaurant industries. Their expertise in branding and creating unique atmospheres for dining establishments set them apart as an essential service provider.

• Economic Impact: We presented a detailed analysis of how our client's business would positively impact the local economy, creating jobs and fostering growth in the restaurant industry.

• Expansion Plans: We outlined our client's expansion strategy, showcasing their commitment to growing their clients’ restaurants and investing in the U.S. This client growth included plans for opening new locations and hiring local talent.

• Financial Projections: We provided realistic financial projections, demonstrating that the business would generate sufficient revenue to support the client and their employees while complying with E-2 regulations.

Beyond Business Planning: Strategic Consulting and Risk Mitigation

Our role extended beyond business planning. We employed our proprietary 77-point quality control process, a result of 15 years of recording trends and challenges in E-2 visa applications. This process allowed us to identify and address any potential issues proactively, ensuring the client's business plan was robust, yet concise, and compliant with evolving visa regulations.

Conclusion: A Successful Visa Approval

The culmination of our efforts was a successful E-2 visa approval for our client. This achievement didn't just represent a visa stamp; it signified the realization of a dream to influence the U.S. restaurant industry with innovative design concepts. Our client's success story stands as a testament to the efficacy of our comprehensive approach, blending expert business planning with strategic consultancy to navigate the complexities of visa applications.

A few months ago, we were hired to write an Expert Opinion Letter in response to an RFE.

Our client’s U.S. company had posted losses of $54,746 and $13,450 in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Therefore, the USCIS was challenging the U.S. employer’s ability to pay.

The prevailing wage as certified by the Department of Labor was $117,832.00 annually.

What was our approach? In coordination with the immigration attorney handling the case, we did some research and used our client’s industry benchmarks to overcome the RFE.

Our research showed that the COVID-19 pandemic had had a major impact on the health care sector. Dentistry was effectively closed for two months beginning in March 2020 with health organizations recommending dentists see emergency cases only. For general practitioner dentists, the pandemic led to a 17.9% drop in net income from 2019 to 2020.

Second, we highlighted that in 2021, industry revenue for dentists was expected to increase an estimated 8.0%. Further, over the 2021-2026 period, industry revenue for dentists was projected to grow, increasing at an annualized rate of 3.4%.

Third, using projected industry growth, we projected that our client’s company’s revenue would reach $857,698 in 2021 and $980,430 in 2025.

Lastly, using industry profitability benchmarks, we projected that the U.S. employer’s net profits would reach $195,298 in 2021 and $223,244 in 2025.

These projected profits exceeded the $117,832 prevailing wage by 65.7% and 89.45%, respectively.

The end result? The USCIS approved our client’s PERM petition!

Here at Visa Business Plans, our experienced team knows what it takes to pass the scrutiny of an RFE. So if you need help addressing a challenging RFE, call us today to see how we can help you!

Today, we'd like to share a remarkable success story where our firm played a crucial role in helping a client obtain an E-2 visa by crafting an impeccable business plan that showcased their vision and commitment to a sustainable business venture.

Client Background

Our client, a foreign national with a passion for the hospitality industry, had a dream of managing a hotel in the United States. They had taken significant steps by signing a hotel management agreement and a lease with an option to purchase agreement with a third-party property owner. However, obtaining the E-2 visa was a complex process.

The Challenge

To secure an E-2 visa, applicants must demonstrate that their investment is substantial, that their business is not marginal, and that they will be actively involved in its management. Crafting a business plan that convincingly addresses these requirements is crucial. Our client had the investment and commitment, but they needed our expertise to navigate this intricate process.

Our Solution

Our experienced team at Visa Business Plans embarked on a comprehensive process to develop a business plan that would not only meet the visa requirements but also clearly outline our client's feasible and sustainable business model.

1. Thorough Market Analysis

We conducted an in-depth market analysis to identify opportunities and challenges in the local hospitality industry. This included studying market trends, competitive analysis, and potential areas for growth.

2. Marketing Strategy

Our client's hotel management agreement included support from third-party marketing and advertising firms. We highlighted these strategic partnerships in the business plan, demonstrating how they would help attract new guests and boost revenue.

3. Expansion Plans

Our client had ambitious expansion plans beyond just managing the initial hotel. We carefully outlined their growth strategy, showcasing how their investments and expertise would contribute to job creation and economic development in the region.

4. Financial Projections

A critical component of any E-2 business plan is the presentation of credible financial projections. We worked closely with our client to prepare realistic and achievable financial forecasts that underscored the viability of their venture and that were aligned with other industry players.

Results

With our meticulously crafted business plan in hand, our client’s attorney was well-prepared to submit their E-2 visa application. The U.S. immigration authorities were impressed with the depth and credibility of the plan, which demonstrated our client's genuine intention to invest in and actively manage a successful U.S. business.

Our client, a visionary entrepreneur passionate about the natural stone industry, sought to establish an importing and reselling business specializing in exquisite Turkish marble, limestone, and travertine. With a keen understanding of the demand for these products in the United States, the client envisioned a company that not only served the domestic market but also contributed to the growth of international trade.

Business Model:

The client's company operates as an importer and reseller of natural stones, offering both retail and wholesale options to cater to a diverse customer base. The product range includes high-quality marble, limestone, and travertine sourced directly from the best Turkish quarries. Our client’s company aims to distinguish itself by providing top-notch products with a focus on quality and authenticity.

Operations Overview:

The natural stones are shipped in standard containers from Turkey to the company's base of operations in Florida. Upon arrival, the stones are stored in a warehouse facility, ensuring proper inventory management. The distribution process involves transporting the products via trucks, either in crates or pallets, to meet the diverse needs of retail and wholesale customers. The strategic location of the warehouse facilitates efficient distribution across the region.

E-1 Visa Application:

Given the international nature of the business and the client's desire to facilitate trade between the United States and Turkey, an E-1 visa was pursued, which is designed for individuals engaged in substantial trade between the U.S. and their treaty trader country. The client's business plan was meticulously prepared, highlighting the substantial trade in the natural stone sector and the potential positive impact on bilateral trade.

Key Points in the E-1 Visa Business Plan:

• Substantial Trade: The business plan emphasized the client's commitment to substantial trade activities between the U.S. and Turkey, showcasing the importation of high-quality natural stones as a significant contribution to the U.S. market.

• Investments: The client's investments in establishing a robust supply chain, warehousing facilities, and distribution networks were highlighted to underscore the commitment to long-term trade relations.

• Job Creation: The business's potential to generate employment opportunities in the U.S. through its distribution, sales, and warehousing activities was emphasized as a positive contribution to the local economy.

Successful Outcome:

The careful preparation of the E-1 visa business plan, combined with the client's genuine dedication to fostering international trade, resulted in a successful approval. Our client is now positioned to operate the importing and reselling business, contributing not only to the domestic market but also fostering positive trade relations between the U.S. and Turkey.

This case study exemplifies the success achieved when combining a visionary entrepreneur's passion, a qualified immigration attorney, and a well-prepared E-1 visa business plan. The company is poised to thrive in the natural stone industry, showcasing the positive impact of international trade facilitated through the appropriate immigration channels.

Our detailed and reader-friendly business plan provided a clear roadmap for the rental arbitrage venture, highlighting key aspects such as market research, financial projections, and operational logistics. By clearly articulating the financial viability and scalability of the business, we demonstrated to immigration authorities the potential for long-term success and job creation in the United States.

Results

With our meticulously crafted business plan in hand, our client’s immigration attorney successfully submitted the E-2 visa application. Despite the unconventional nature of the business model, the clarity and persuasiveness of our documentation played a pivotal role in securing approval for the visa. Our client was granted the E-2 visa, allowing them to realize their dream of launching their rental arbitrage venture in the United States.

Conclusion

This case exemplifies the importance of innovative thinking and strategic planning in achieving visa success.

In the realm of visa acquisition, creativity can be the key to success. Recently, we had the privilege of assisting a client and his immigration attorney in securing an E-2 visa through an innovative investment strategy. This unique case involved a combination of $100,000 in cash and equipment brought from overseas—a tactic supported by the guidelines outlined in the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM). The FAM specifies that the value of goods or equipment transferred to the United States, such as factory machinery, may be considered an investment. This creative approach enabled our client to increase their investment without the need for additional cash, paving the way for a successful visa application.

Client Background

Our client, a budding restaurant entrepreneur from abroad, had ambitious plans to establish a business venture in the United States. Armed with a vision and determination, they sought to capitalize on the opportunities available in the American market. However, navigating the complexities of the visa application process posed a significant challenge, especially considering the financial constraints involved.

Challenges

One of the primary hurdles our client faced was meeting the required investment threshold for the E-2 visa. While they had a solid business plan and a promising concept, they lacked the substantial cash investment typically necessary to qualify for the visa. Recognizing this limitation, we needed to devise a creative solution that would enable our client to fulfill the investment requirement without solely relying on cash reserves.

Solution

Drawing upon our expertise in immigration law and business planning, we explored alternative investment options that would align with the E-2 visa regulations. Leveraging the guidance provided in the Foreign Affairs Manual, and in tandem with the immigration attorney handling the case, we identified the possibility of including the value of equipment transferred to the United States as part of the investment. This presented a unique opportunity for our client to bolster their investment portfolio without solely relying on cash reserves.

In collaboration with our client, we meticulously crafted a comprehensive business plan that showcased not only their financial commitment but also the strategic utilization of equipment brought from overseas. This included outlining the value of the equipment, its contribution to the business operations, and the potential for generating revenue.

Results

With this innovative investment strategy and compelling business plan in hand, the immigration attorney successfully submitted the client’s E-2 visa application. Despite the initial concerns regarding meeting the investment threshold, the clarity and creativity of the aforementioned approach played a pivotal role in securing approval for the visa. Our client was granted the E-2 visa, enabling them to realize their dream of establishing a business presence in the United States.

Conclusion

This case serves as a testament to the power of innovation and strategic planning in navigating the complexities of the visa application process. By thinking outside the box and leveraging the guidelines provided in the Foreign Affairs Manual, we were able to devise a creative solution that enabled our client to fulfill the investment requirements for the E-2 visa. As businesses continue to explore opportunities for expansion into the United States, it is essential to partner with experienced professionals who can provide tailored solutions and navigate regulatory challenges effectively. At Visa Business Plans, we are committed to empowering our clients to achieve their immigration goals through innovative strategies and expert guidance.

In the intricate world of immigration, success stories often stem from unique challenges and innovative solutions. Today, we're excited to share a compelling case study that underscores the power of expertise and strategy when faced with the daunting task of responding to a Request for Evidence (RFE) for an L-1A visa. In this particular case, our client sought our assistance in crafting a robust business plan to support their visa application, which involved a Functional Manager working closely with the majority of his subordinate personnel working remotely in Latin America. Through our strategic approach and leveraging the Matter of Za, Inc., we ultimately helped secure a visa approval. Let's delve into the details of this inspiring story.

The Client's Dilemma

Our story begins with a determined client who had a bold vision for their company's expansion into the United States. As a Functional Manager, his role was critical in facilitating this expansion. Tasked with identifying new providers in the U.S., maintaining relationships with existing vendors, and assembling teams to support the company's growth, our client needed to secure an L-1A visa. However, the client had received an RFE from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which is often a formidable hurdle in the visa application process.

The Complexity of the Case

What made this case particularly challenging was the client's role as a Functional Manager. The majority of the U.S. company’s support personnel was located in Latin America. This presented a unique set of complexities, as the USCIS requires evidence that the applicant will manage a significant function of the organization and supervise employees.

Leveraging the Matter of Za, Inc.

To navigate this intricate situation, our team decided to leverage the "Matter of Za, Inc." precedent. This precedent established that an applicant could qualify as a Functional Manager even if they did not directly supervise U.S. employees, as long as they managed a crucial function of the organization and were responsible for supervising personnel abroad.

The Strategic Approach

Our first step was a thorough analysis of our client's role within the organization, their managerial responsibilities, and their relationships with personnel in Latin America. We meticulously gathered evidence that demonstrated our client's pivotal role in the company's success. This included outlining their responsibilities, showcasing their impact on the organization's growth, and providing compelling evidence of their support from personnel in Latin America.

Crafting the Business Plan

With a comprehensive understanding of our client's unique circumstances and leveraging the Matter of Za, Inc. precedent, we set out to craft a business plan that would leave no room for doubt. Our plan meticulously detailed our client's responsibilities, their critical function within the organization, and the importance of their presence in the U.S. for the company's success.

The Outcome

With a comprehensive business plan in hand, the immigration attorney submitted the response to the RFE. We are thrilled to announce that our strategic approach paid off, and our client's L-1A visa was approved! This success not only paved the way for our client's professional path in the United States but also demonstrated the effectiveness of innovative strategies in overcoming immigration challenges.

Conclusion

This case study showcases the importance of expert guidance and strategic planning when navigating the complexities of immigration, particularly in challenging L-1A visa cases. By leveraging precedents like the Matter of Za, Inc. and crafting a compelling business plan tailored to our client's unique circumstances, we achieved a remarkable outcome. If you find yourself facing business challenges, remember that with the right expertise and strategy, your American dream can become a reality.

Immigration Business Plans

In today's globalized world, expanding business operations across borders is becoming increasingly common. However, navigating the intricacies of immigration law to secure visas for key personnel can be a daunting task. In this case study, we'll delve into how we assisted a foreign executive in securing an L-1A visa to establish a presence in the United States.

Client Background

Our client, a seasoned executive, sought to establish a presence in the United States to oversee and support the operations of a foreign affiliate located in Colombia. As an integral part of the affiliate's success, our client's expertise was crucial for managing supplier relationships, identifying new providers, and assembling a more extensive team of employees to support the Colombian affiliate's growth.

Challenges

Securing an L-1A visa presented several challenges for our client. Firstly, demonstrating the necessity of their presence in the United States was essential, particularly considering the executive's role in managing and expanding operations in Colombia. Additionally, articulating the value our client would bring to the U.S.-based operations and the overall success of the company was paramount.

Solution

To address these challenges, Visa Business Plans crafted a detailed business plan that outlined our client's crucial role in overseeing supplier relationships, identifying new providers, and building a robust team to support the Colombian affiliate's objectives. The business plan highlighted the executive's unique qualifications, including their extensive experience in international business operations and their track record of success in similar roles.

Results

With our meticulously crafted business plan in hand, our client's immigration attorney successfully submitted a response to a nasty L-1A Request from Evidence (RFE). The clarity and persuasiveness of our documentation played a pivotal role in securing approval for the visa. Our client was granted the L-1A visa, allowing them to establish a presence in the United States and contribute to the success of the company's operations abroad.

Conclusion

This case study underscores the importance of strategic planning and expert guidance when drafting a winning L-1A business plan. By leveraging our expertise in both business planning and L-1A regulations,, we helped our client secure approval for their visa and establish a presence in the United States. As operations continue to expand globally, partnering with experienced professionals who understand the nuances of the L-1A visa and business fundamentals is essential for achieving success. At Visa Business Plans, we are dedicated to empowering our clients to achieve their immigration goals and propel their businesses forward.

At Visa Business Plans, immigration attorneys call us seeking assistance or a second opinion on handling an L-1A petition – or RFE – where the L entity’s financials are weak.

Having prepared thousands of L-1A immigration business plans and responses to RFEs, we’ve created a proactive methodology that aims to:

• Lower the likelihood of RFEs

• Mitigate other risks associated with future L-1A renewals

Specifically, we focus on 3 key aspects that will make the L-1A petition or response to RFE stronger:

#1 – Finances

Many small businesses and start-ups are launched and operated with very little money. However, the USCIS will question the viability of the US business and its ability to pay the beneficiary’s salary.

Two months ago, we were hired to analyze and respond to an RFE that read “...The USCIS cannot determine what the size of your investment is and if your organization will have the financial ability to pay the beneficiary, the rest of the employees, and to commence doing business in the United States.”

Visa Business Plans crafted an RFE response that included a 12-month forecasted cash flow analysis. It showed that the U.S. entity was projected to be cash flow positive. This means that the L entity was projected to have sufficient cash to cover obligations, reinvest in its business, pay expenses, and provide a buffer against future financial needs.

The L petition was approved.

#2 - Market-related salaries

Mary start-up and small business owners work with no salary until their companies generate cash flow to pay them. Additionally, staff members may initially be paid below-market wages. However, the USCIS expects the managers, executives, and subordinates to earn a market-related salary, which refers to the going rate that the job market is prepared to pay for a specific role in a given geographic area.

We recently worked in coordination with an immigration attorney to respond to an RFE that challenged the U.S. entity’s ability to pay salaries commensurate with managerial positions. Our RFE response included a thorough analysis of current job market salaries. We were able to prove that the U.S. entity was projected to pay salaries aligned with market conditions in the geographic area where it was set to operate.

#3 - L-1 Employee Compensated Outside of the U.S.

Over the years, we have learned a lot from working with seasoned immigration attorneys. While we do not provide legal advice, we know how the law can impact a business plan and leverage that knowledge to our clients’ advantage.

For example, we learned about Matter of Pozzoli, a Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision, which holds that when the foreign parent, affiliate, or subsidiary will pay the L-1 worker's salary abroad while the U.S. petitioner employs him in the United States, this relationship qualifies for L-1 status.

Working in conjunction with the immigration attorney handling the case, Visa Business Plans prepared detailed financial projections showing the financial viability of the U.S. entity. At the same time, we showed that the foreign entity would have the financial capacity to pay the beneficiary's salary.

We have created other types of customized deliverables in response to common – and uncommon – USCIS challenges with great success. If you need a second opinion on that L business plan or RFE response, Visa Business Plans will be glad to help!

A client with exceptional abilities as an Oil Drilling Optimization Specialist sought an NIW (National Interest Waiver). We created an Impact Analysis Report that convinced the USCIS of his professional value and succeeded in obtaining the NIW.

After applying for an NIW (National Interest Waiver), our client received an RFE (request for evidence), asking him to supply additional information about the need for his skills in the U.S. As an Oil Drilling Optimization Specialist, our client helps oil and gas drilling companies maximize the amount of oil and gas taken from the ground, providing an incredibly useful service. However, NIW applicants must prove not only their abilities but also the National Importance of those abilities. Therefore, our work entailed researching the implications of our client’s expertise.

Through careful research and analysis, we crafted an Impact Analysis Report for our client that resulted in his NIW being approved. First, we provided data showing that oil and natural gas generate 33% of electricity for the U.S. and provide 68% of its overall energy needs. Next, our comprehensive investigation found that oil drilling optimization contributes to the energy independence of the U.S., increasing its level of national security and supporting the efforts of the administration at the time to reduce dependency on hostile foreign energy suppliers. In addition to these statistics, we highlighted our client’s unique position to help provide oil and gas more efficiently and cost-effectively, meeting U.S. needs and supporting domestic infrastructure and jobs. With this report, the National Importance of our client’s NIW was thoroughly demonstrated.

Our team’s commitment to designing a solid strategy for our client paid off. Our Impact Analysis Report helped our client’s attorney in responding to his RFE and securing the NIW.

Client Background:

Embarking on a mission to bridge legal services between the U.S. and Mexico, our client envisioned becoming the promotional arm of a prominent Mexican law firm. The goal was clear: market the Mexican law firm’s legal expertise to businesses and individuals seeking counsel on Mexican legal matters, leveraging the advantages of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement and the thriving Latin American economy.

Business Vision:

The company's initial focus was on marketing the Mexican law firm’s legal services, targeting businesses and investors eager to establish or expand operations in Mexico. By acting as a conduit for clients navigating the complexities of Mexican law, the company aimed to facilitate cross-border collaborations and ensure its U.S.-based clients received exceptional service.

E-1 Visa Application:

Recognizing the potential for substantial trade between the U.S. and Mexico in the legal realm, our team crafted a comprehensive E-1 immigration business plan. The immigration business plan emphasized the unique role our client aimed to play in promoting and facilitating legal services, aligning with the spirit of the treaty between the two nations.

Key Elements in the E-1 Visa Application:

• Strategic Focus: The immigration business plan highlighted the strategic focus on assisting businesses and investors looking to capitalize on the benefits of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, showcasing a clear vision for promoting cross-border legal services.

• Client-Centric Approach: A commitment to working closely with existing U.S.-based clients of the Mexican legal firm was underlined, demonstrating a client-centric approach to ensure the delivery of excellent legal services.

• Future Expansion: The application showcased the company's foresight, with one of the founders aiming to become a registered foreign legal consultant with the Texas Bar Association. This second step would enable the provision of additional services such as writing legal opinions related to Mexican law and serving as an expert witness on matters pertaining to Mexican law.

Successful Outcome:

The E-1 immigration business plan, meticulously crafted to highlight the unique role in promoting legal services between the U.S. and Mexico, resulted in a successful outcome. The company is now positioned not only as a promotional arm but as a vital link in the legal landscape, fostering collaboration and providing expert guidance to those navigating Mexican legal intricacies.

This case study exemplifies how strategic planning, a client-centric approach, and a forward-looking vision can lead to the successful acquisition of an E-1 visa. The client's commitment to facilitating legal ties between the U.S. and Mexico has set the stage for a promising venture that extends beyond promotion, aiming to become an integral part of the cross-border legal landscape.

In a groundbreaking case, our team at Visa Business Plans, in collaboration with a qualified immigration attorney, successfully navigated the complexities of the National Interest Waiver (NIW) process, highlighting the national importance of our client’s revolutionary engineering solution. The focus of our efforts was on proving the significant impact of our client's endeavor in processing drilling fluid waste, commonly known as drilling mud, within the oil and gas industry.

Background:

Drilling mud, due to its hazardous nature, poses serious threats to both the environment and human health. Recognizing the need for a sustainable solution, our client designed and deployed a unique drilling mud dewatering equipment that demonstrated exceptional efficacy in oil and gas operations across the United States.

Solution:

Our client's dewatering equipment not only proved to be cost-effective but also environmentally friendly. By implementing this solution at numerous oil wells overseas, our client successfully transformed highly hazardous drilling mud into clean water suitable for either reuse or safe disposal, thus mitigating the potential damage drilling mud spills can inflict.

Environmental Impact:

The environmental significance of our client's invention cannot be overstated. By efficiently converting drilling mud into reusable or safely disposable water, our client's solution substantially reduced the environmental footprint associated with drilling operations. This transformation not only met but exceeded environmental standards, establishing our client as a pioneer in sustainable drilling practices.

Cost Reduction and Efficiency:

Beyond its environmental benefits, our client's solution also delivered substantial economic advantages. The implementation of the dewatering equipment significantly reduced the potential storage and transportation costs associated with drilling mud. This not only translated into direct cost savings for operators but also enhanced efficiency, productivity, and overall profitability in the oil and gas industry in the United States.

Research Findings:

Our comprehensive research demonstrated that our client's invention had a profound impact on the oil and gas sector. The reduction in costs for operators, coupled with the advancement in efficiency and productivity, showcased the national importance of our client's endeavor. Our detailed NIW business plan meticulously outlined these benefits, providing compelling evidence to support our client’s case.

Conclusion:

Through strategic planning with an immigration attorney and a comprehensive NIW business plan, we successfully assisted our client in proving the national importance of his endeavor to process drilling fluid waste. By showcasing the environmental and economic benefits of our client's unique drilling mud dewatering equipment, we not only helped secure the NIW but also contributed to a paradigm shift in the oil and gas industry towards more sustainable and responsible practices. This case serves as a testament to the impactful role that innovative engineering solutions can play in addressing national interests and advancing environmental sustainability in the United States.

When it comes to securing an E-1 visa, the road can be steep, especially when your business relies on substantial and continuous trade between a treaty country and the United States. In this compelling case study, we shed light on how our firm assisted a client in achieving this visa triumph. Our client, specializing in importing and wholesaling PCR test reagent kits used for diagnosing a range of infections, faced the intricate task of proving substantial and ongoing trade. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology is pivotal in molecular biology labs, amplifying DNA fragments for accurate infection diagnoses.

Client Background:

Our client's niche was supplying high-complexity clinical laboratories with PCR test reagent kits. Their success hinged on maintaining a robust trade between their home country and the U.S. However, the E-1 visa application required more than ambition; it demanded a comprehensive business plan that could substantiate their trade projections.

The Challenge: Demonstrating Substantial and Ongoing Trade

Proving the viability of consistent trade can be a daunting challenge. Our client needed to demonstrate their capability to trade substantial volumes of PCR test reagent kits, projecting approximately US$5 million in the next five years.

Our Approach: Crafting a Convincing Business Plan

Our team at Visa Business Plans embarked on a mission to craft a compelling business plan that would not only meet the E-1 visa requirements but also paint a vivid picture of our client's trade endeavors. Here's how we tackled the challenge:

• Market Analysis: We delved into the molecular biology and diagnostics market, showcasing the demand for PCR test reagent kits. We identified growth trends and potential clients, establishing a solid foundation for our client's business.

• Trade Projections: Our meticulous research led to precise trade projections. We calculated the volume of PCR test reagent kits our client would import and wholesale over the next five years, aligning it with the E-1 visa requirements.

• Financial Projections: We prepared detailed financial projections that demonstrated the financial feasibility of our client's trade activities. This included revenue forecasts, profit margins, and a clear path to achieving their projected trade volumes.

• Legal Compliance: Ensuring that our client's business model adhered to all E-1 regulations and requirements was of utmost importance. We addressed this by using the correct language, using distinct metrics, and incorporating several key sections into the business plan.

The Outcome: A Successfully Approved E-1 Visa

Our comprehensive business plan proved to be the key to our client's E-1 visa success. It not only satisfied the stringent requirements but also provided a robust roadmap for their trade endeavors. With our assistance, our client's visa application was approved, paving the way for them to continue their vital work in supplying PCR test reagent kits to high-complexity clinical laboratories.

This case study exemplifies the critical role a well-crafted business plan plays in navigating the complex path to an E-1 visa. We take pride in helping our clients overcome such challenges and are committed to assisting many more in their visa and business aspirations.

At Visa Business Plans, we excel in helping our clients navigate the complexities of visa applications with strategic and meticulous planning. Recently, we assisted a client whose attorney required a condensed yet thorough business plan due to page size constraints imposed by a U.S. consulate in Europe. Despite the need for brevity, the business plan needed to be powerful and persuasive to secure an E-2 visa. Here’s how we crafted a compelling business plan that met these criteria and helped our client secure his visa.

The Challenge

Our client’s attorney reached out to us with a specific request: create a reduced business plan that adhered to the page limit set by a European consulate. The business plan needed to be concise yet comprehensive enough to convince U.S. authorities of the client’s business viability and potential economic impact. Our client’s business specializes in designing software applications to modernize legacy systems, improve user experiences, and resolve automation issues for medium and large businesses. Additionally, the client offers services to startups, helping them develop brand identities through:

• Automation via UI/UX and visual app design

• Code-ready prototypes

Crafting a Condensed Yet Thorough Business Plan

1. Understanding the Business Model

The first step was to gain an in-depth understanding of the client’s business model and unique value proposition. Our client focuses on revamping outdated software systems, providing modern, user-friendly solutions that enhance efficiency and user satisfaction. Their target market includes medium and large enterprises with legacy systems facing automation challenges, as well as startups needing help with brand development and UI/UX design.

2. Highlighting Key Business Components

Given the page constraints, we focused on the most critical elements of the business plan:

• Executive Summary: A concise overview of the business, its mission, and its market potential.

• Market Analysis: A focused analysis of the market demand for modernizing legacy systems and the specific needs of medium and large businesses. We also highlighted the increasing demand for automation and improved user interfaces.

• Services Offered: Detailed descriptions of the client’s core services, including software modernization, automation solutions, UI/UX design, and code-ready prototypes.

• Financial Projections: Simplified yet robust financial projections demonstrating the business’s potential for growth and profitability. We included clear, concise tables and graphs to present the data effectively.

• Operational Plan: A brief yet comprehensive operational plan outlining the business’s day-to-day activities, staffing needs, and operational processes.

3. Showcasing Economic Impact

To meet the requirements of the E-2 visa application, it was essential to demonstrate the economic impact of the client’s business. We emphasized:

• Job Creation: The potential for the business to create jobs within the U.S., contributing to local employment.

• Economic Contribution: The financial benefits of modernizing legacy systems, leading to increased efficiency and productivity for client companies.

• Innovation: The innovative approach of integrating modern software solutions and automation to stay competitive in the digital age.

4. Ensuring Clarity and Persuasiveness

Despite the reduced length, the business plan needed to be compelling and clear. We used straightforward language, avoided unnecessary jargon, and ensured that each section flowed logically into the next. This approach made the business plan not only easy to read but also persuasive.

The Outcome

Thanks to our meticulously crafted, condensed business plan and the strategic request of their immigration attorney, the client’s E-2 visa application was approved. The U.S. authorities were convinced by the clear presentation of the business’s viability, economic impact, and potential for growth. Our client is now successfully operating his software design business in the U.S., helping companies modernize their systems and improve their operational efficiency.

NIW (National Interest Waiver) classification was sought by a real estate developer. We crafted a successful EB-2/NIW business plan for the client that drew on detailed research and analysis of the housing industry.

A real estate developer hired our team to create a business plan for him that used data to argue the benefits and national importance of his affordable housing venture. After conducting thorough research, we found that real estate developers who plan affordable housing bring jobs, revenue, and other positive benefits to their area and save families living in affordable housing about $500 each month. In addition, our investigation showed that those living in affordable housing are encouraged to invest these savings into the local economy, stimulating sectors including retail, healthcare, education, and restaurants. The client also had the potential to affect change on an individual level; our findings revealed that he would benefit communities by allowing those in affordable housing to invest more in college education and retirement. Our team worked tirelessly to craft an analysis of the above data that emphasized the positive impact the real estate developer would have on both a large and small scale.

By examining the industry in which our client’s business would participate in the U.S. and pairing that research with a persuasive and comprehensive analysis, we helped our client acquire his visa and achieve his immigration goals.

At Visa Business Plans, we take pride in helping our clients achieve their dreams through meticulous and strategic planning. One such success story involves a client with an impressive background in finance who aimed to promote financial literacy among disadvantaged communities. This blog highlights how we helped him secure his National Interest Waiver (NIW) visa through a compelling and comprehensive NIW business plan.

Client Background

Our client, an accomplished finance professional, envisioned offering one-to-one consultations and group seminars both in-person and online. His focus was on enhancing financial literacy in disadvantaged communities across Florida, Texas, California, and New York. Recognizing the significance of his mission, we crafted a business plan that would not only meet but exceed the expectations of U.S. immigration authorities.

Crafting a Compelling NIW Business Plan

1. Demonstrating National Importance

The first step in our process was to illustrate how our client’s endeavor was of national importance.

A crucial aspect of our business plan was presenting convincing financial figures. We developed a detailed financial model projecting growth over the next five years, showcasing the viability and sustainability of our client’s business.

• Revenue Streams: We outlined multiple revenue streams, including fees from one-to-one consultations, group seminars, and online courses. This diversified approach not only ensured steady income but also demonstrated resilience against market fluctuations.

• Growth Projections: The plan included realistic growth projections based on market analysis and our client’s extensive experience in the finance sector. We projected a significant increase in client base and revenue, reinforcing the business’s potential for long-term success.

3. Highlighting the Client’s Expertise

Our client’s impressive background in finance was a pivotal element of the business plan. We meticulously detailed his qualifications, experience, and previous successes, underscoring his capability to execute the proposed endeavor effectively.

• Professional Achievements: The plan showcased his past accomplishments, certifications, and recognition within the finance industry, establishing his credibility and expertise.

• Strategic Partnerships: We also identified potential partnerships with local organizations and financial institutions, further strengthening the case for his ability to deliver impactful financial education.

The Outcome

Thanks to our comprehensive and strategically crafted NIW business plan and the professional work of their immigration attorney, our client’s visa application was approved. The U.S. authorities recognized the national importance of his endeavor and the solid financial foundation of his business.

In the complex world of U.S. immigration, achieving a National Interest Waiver (NIW) poses substantial challenges, not least when an applicant encounters the intimidating barrier of a Request for Evidence (RFE). Leveraging our client's expertise in Plant Pathology, our firm crafted a meticulous project that incorporated strategic business planning and our signature risk management approach. This method not only led to her visa approval but also positioned her work to make substantial advances in agricultural practices and food security.

The Challenge at Hand

The story began with a Biologist, armed with a Ph.D. in Science and a specialization in Plant Pathology, who approached our firm in the face of a challenging RFE. Her aspirations to move to the U.S. were fueled by a noble cause—to develop new products and methods aimed at protecting crops from viruses, thereby enhancing food security. However, the RFE raised doubts about the national importance and applicability of her proposed endeavors, threatening to derail her ambitions.

A Strategic Approach to Success

Understanding the stakes, we embarked on a mission to construct a well-researched personal endeavor plan that would not only address the concerns raised in the RFE but also highlight the far-reaching benefits of our client's work. Our strategy hinged on three critical points:

1. Impact on Farmers: By demonstrating how our client's research could lead to more resilient crop varieties and agricultural methods, we underscored the direct benefits to farmers nationwide. This included evidence of potential yield improvements and reductions in crop loss due to disease.

2. Benefits to Consumers and the Economy: We elaborated on the broader implications of her work, including enhanced food security and the availability of healthier, more abundant food supplies. Furthermore, we showcased the economic benefits stemming from more efficient agricultural practices and the development of innovative agricultural products.

3. Contribution to Scientific Knowledge: Our plan also emphasized the contribution our client's research would make to the scientific community, reinforcing the idea that her work had national and international significance.

Overcoming the Hurdle

The personal endeavor plan we submitted was a testament to our client's potential to impact the U.S. agricultural sector significantly. Packed with data, peer-reviewed research, and endorsements from leading experts in the field, the document painted a comprehensive picture of how her work aligned with the national interest.

The Sweet Taste of Success

After an anxious wait, the outcome we had worked so tirelessly for finally materialized—our client's NIW visa was approved. This approval was not just a personal victory for our client but a win for the agricultural sector and food security in the United States. It underscored the importance of her proposed work and affirmed the value of thorough, well-researched documentation in overcoming immigration challenges.

Looking to the Future

Our client's success story is a beacon for professionals across all fields, illustrating the power of a solid, evidence-based approach in navigating the complexities of the NIW process. As she embarks on her critical work in the U.S., we're reminded of the impact that dedicated individuals can have on our world, and we're honored to have played a part in her success story.

Client Background

Our client, a provider of efficient and user-friendly software as a service (SaaS) platform, envisioned revolutionizing the preconstruction process for U.S. contractors, appraisers, realtors, and private property owners. Their streamlined platform aimed to provide subcontractors with easy access to the contracts they need to build their businesses and access secure and steady employment.

Furthermore, we underscored the benefits of sourcing the software from Israel, showcasing the expertise and innovation inherent in Israeli technology.

Despite the initial challenges, the clarity and persuasiveness of our documentation played a pivotal role in securing approval for the visa.

A client sought a renewal for his E-2 visa, even though his U.S. company had no employees the previous year.

Upon applying for the renewal of his E-2 visa, our client Tom received a Request for Evidence (RFE) from the USCIS concerning his Indiana-based lawn care business. The RFE noted that Tom’s “investment enterprise ended 2018 with no employee wages paid” and stated that the government needed evidence that he was “developing and directing the operations of the investment enterprise.” In other words, the USCIS wanted proof that Tom was managing a company that contributed to the U.S. economy in the form of job creation.

By conducting exhaustive research, we were able to prepare a business plan for Tom that contributed to his E-2 visa renewal being approved. After familiarizing ourselves with the status of the Indiana workforce, we uncovered the very real challenge Tom’s company was facing: Indiana’s unemployment rate of 3.5% was significantly less than the national average of 4.1%, and the state was suffering from a severe shortage of skilled labor. Consequently, businesses like Tom’s that relied on these skilled trade workers were struggling to find qualified employees. Next, we provided a solution. We crafted a business plan that detailed concrete actions that Tom’s company would use to handle these shortages, resulting in hiring two workers in a short period of time.

Because of our team’s ability to show the shortage of skilled workers in Indiana and how he would remedy this shortage, our client was able to renew his E-2 visa and continue to build his company.

In the complex and often daunting realm of U.S. immigration law, pursuing a National Interest Waiver (NIW) poses a unique set of challenges, especially for individuals in the swiftly changing technology sector.

Our success story begins with a client, an accomplished H-1B visa holder, who faced a critical juncture when he received a Request for Evidence (RFE) in his NIW petition. Unlike many applicants who directly contribute to their own startups or research initiatives, our client was employed by a third-party company specializing in Information Technology, network infrastructure, cloud computing, and AI and automation services, providing innovative solutions to a wide range of clients. The RFE posed a daunting challenge, questioning the national importance of our client's proposed contributions to the United States. This called for a strategic, well-crafted response to demonstrate the critical value and impact of his work.

The RFE presented a formidable challenge, questioning the intrinsic value and national importance of our client's proposed work in the United States. It was a pivotal moment that required a strategic response. Our client's vision was not just to continue his groundbreaking work in these areas but to elevate it by designing and implementing advanced automated systems. These systems were aimed at enhancing confidentiality measures and maximizing the accessibility of cloud infrastructure, not only for businesses within the U.S. but also for international clients. This ambition had the potential to revolutionize the way businesses operate, offering them unparalleled efficiency and security.

Recognizing the significance of our client's work, we embarked on developing a business plan that would not only articulate the technical excellence and innovative nature of his proposed projects but also underscore their importance to the national interest. Our strategy was to compile a comprehensive, data-driven, and research-based narrative. This narrative delved into the current and future states of Information Technology and cloud computing, highlighting our client's unique contributions to these fields and his potential to drive significant advancements.

The business plan was exhaustive in its scope, covering everything from detailed market analysis and potential for job creation in the U.S. to the specific technologies and methodologies our client intended to develop. We included case studies, statistical data, expert testimonials, and a thorough exploration of the economic and security benefits his work promised for the U.S. infrastructure and its global standing in technology.

Our meticulously prepared document served as the cornerstone of our client's response to the RFE. It provided the immigration authorities with a clear, detailed vision of the tangible and far-reaching benefits of approving the NIW. The business plan not only demonstrated the exceptional ability of our client but also how his proposed endeavors aligned with the national interest in maintaining technological superiority and economic competitiveness on a global scale.

After an anxious wait, the effort and expertise invested in the business plan bore fruit: our client's NIW visa was approved. This approval not only marked a significant personal and professional milestone for our client but also affirmed the critical role of strategic, well-researched business planning in navigating the complexities of NIW applications. It was a testament to the power of a well-articulated vision and the potential impact of technology professionals on the national and global stages. This success story serves as an inspiring example for tech professionals aspiring to make their mark through the NIW pathway, illustrating the importance of a comprehensive and compelling business plan in overcoming challenges and achieving their immigration goals.

Could you get your PERM approved even if the U.S.employer has lost money for the last two years? Yes, you may!

A few months ago, we were hired to write an Expert Opinion Letter in response to an RFE.

Our client’s U.S. company had posted losses of $54,746 and $13,450 in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Therefore, the USCIS was challenging the U.S.employer’s ability to pay.

The prevailing wage as certified by the Department of Labor was $117,832.00 annually.

What was our approach? In coordination with the immigration attorney handling the case, we did some research and used our client’s industry benchmarks to overcome the RFE.

Our research showed that the COVID-19 pandemic had had a major impact on the health care sector. Dentistry was effectively closed for two months beginning in March 2020 with health organizations recommending dentists see emergency cases only. For general practitioner dentists, the pandemic led to a 17.9% drop in net income from 2019 to 2020.

Second, we highlighted that in 2021, industry revenue for dentists was expected to increase an estimated 8.0%. Further, over the 2021-2026 period, industry revenue for dentists was projected to grow, increasing at an annualized rate of 3.4%.

Third, using projected industry growth, we projected that our client’s company’s revenue would reach $857,698 in 2021 and $980,430 in 2025.

Lastly, using industry profitability benchmarks, we projected that the U.S.employer’s net profits would reach $195,298 in 2021 and $223,244 in 2025.

These projected profits exceeded the $117,832 prevailing wage by 65.7% and 89.45%, respectively.

The end result? The USCIS approved our client’s PERM petition!

When aspiring entrepreneurs and business executives apply for a U.S. visa, they're not just submitting documents; they're presenting a case to immigration officers who are rigorously trained to ensure only qualified applicants enter the U.S. These officers are on the lookout for any reason to deny a visa application, making it crucial for applicants to present airtight immigration business plans. Here are essential strategies to ensure your business plan stands up to scrutiny and supports your visa application successfully.

1. Tailor Your Business Plan to Specific Visa Regulations

One of the first red flags for an immigration officer is a business plan that fails to address the specific requirements and regulations of the visa category under which you're applying. Each visa type, be it L-1A, E-2, or H-1B, has its own set of criteria that your business plan must meet. For instance, E-2 visas require demonstrating a substantial investment in a bona fide enterprise, while L-1A visas focus on the intracompany transfer of managers or executives. A generic plan that misses key visa-specific regulations will likely result in a denial. Your business plan should be a custom-fit suit, tailored precisely to the contours of the visa category, highlighting how your venture meets every requisite criterion.

2. Avoid Generic Content and Templates

The temptation to use a one-size-fits-all template or fill your business plan with generic content can be high, especially with the abundance of inexpensive resources available online. However, immigration services have developed a keen eye for spotting these cookie-cutter submissions. Using generic content can trigger challenging and unpleasant Requests for Evidence (RFEs), significantly hindering your application process. Instead, your business plan should narrate the unique story of your company, discussing in granular detail its operations, market analysis, and competitive edge. A narrative that vividly illustrates how your business operates not only demonstrates your thorough understanding and commitment to your venture but also builds trust with the immigration authorities.

3. Ensure Your Business Model Makes Sense

Perhaps the most critical aspect of your business plan is the feasibility and logic of your business model. Immigration officers will question the viability of a business plan that includes glaring operational gaps or unrealistic practices. For example, proposing a full-service restaurant without including servers in the operation plan will raise questions about who is serving the customers. Similarly, an importer without storage space or a pool technician without a vehicle for house visits presents a business model that doesn't add up. These oversights can lead to suspicions that the business is not a legitimate enterprise or that the applicant does not understand the industry, both of which are grounds for visa denial.

Crafting a Winning Immigration Business Plan

Your immigration business plan is more than a document; it's a testament to your commitment and capability to contribute to the U.S. economy. It should reflect a deep understanding of your business, the industry, and the regulatory environment of your visa category. By tailoring your plan to specific visa requirements, avoiding the pitfalls of generic content, and presenting a coherent, logical business model, you position yourself as a credible, trustworthy applicant. Remember, the goal is not just to avoid giving immigration officers reasons for denial but to convincingly argue why you deserve approval.

We have helped thousands of foreign nationals secure their business visas through careful business planning, detailed research, and a strategic approach. Reach out to us to learn how your immigration business plan can become a powerful tool in achieving your American dream.

In the intricate and demanding arena of U.S. immigration law, the National Interest Waiver (NIW) stands as a beacon for those exceptional individuals who seek to contribute significantly to the U.S. through their work. However, navigating the path to securing an NIW is no small feat, especially when faced with a Request for Evidence (RFE) that questions the very core of one's proposed endeavor's national importance. This is the story of how a meticulously crafted business plan not only met such a challenge head-on but also played a pivotal role in turning the tide in favor of our client, a seasoned expert in tax, customs, and international trade.

Our client's vision was both noble and ambitious: to provide Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), nonprofits, and educational institutions with the critical guidance necessary to manage their operations and expand their businesses sustainably. Despite the clear value of her proposed endeavor, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a challenging RFE that questioned the national importance of her work—a critical component of the NIW application process. The RFE specifically challenged the direct impact her efforts would have on a national scale, a hurdle that has proven insurmountable for many.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, our team set to work on a comprehensive business plan that would not only outline the economic benefits of our client's work but also its significance in bolstering the U.S. position in global trade, enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs, and fostering innovation and job creation in key sectors. Our approach was to illustrate the tangible, positive effects her expertise would have on her target groups and, by extension, on the broader national economy.

The business plan we developed was exhaustive and detailed. It included an in-depth analysis of the current landscape of international trade and the unique challenges faced by SMEs, nonprofits, and educational institutions. We provided compelling evidence of the demand for our client's expertise, highlighted her exceptional qualifications, and detailed the strategic partnerships and initiatives she planned to establish. The document was rich with data, case studies, and expert testimonials that underscored the significance of her proposed endeavor.

Crucially, the business plan served not only as a roadmap for our client's future work in the U.S. but also as a critical tool for the attorneys handling her case. It provided them with a solid foundation to build a robust response to the RFE, enabling them to argue convincingly for the national importance of our client's work. The detailed financial projections, strategic planning, and evidence of potential job creation were instrumental in demonstrating the tangible benefits her endeavor would bring to the U.S.

After an anxious wait, the news arrived: our client's NIW application was approved. The success was a testament to the power of thorough preparation, expert knowledge, and the ability to tell a compelling story through data and evidence. Our client was overjoyed, knowing that her vision of supporting the growth and sustainability of SMEs, nonprofits, and educational institutions in the U.S. could now be realized.

This experience underscored the critical importance of a well-crafted business plan in overcoming the challenges posed by the NIW application process. It was not just a document; it was a narrative that effectively communicated the national importance of our client's proposed endeavor. For our team, it was a proud moment of validation for our approach to handling complex immigration challenges, and a reminder of the impact that dedicated professionals can have on the lives of those they serve. This success story serves as a beacon for future NIW applicants, illustrating that even the most daunting challenges can be overcome with the right preparation and expertise.
