Built to Pass E-2 Adjudication

Consular officers and USCIS adjudicators review E-2 business plans to answer three questions: Is the investment substantial? Is the enterprise real and operating? Will it contribute to the U.S. economy beyond supporting the investor? Our plans are structured to answer all three — decisively.

Marginality
Marginality is the #1 denial reason for E-2 visas in 2025–2026. A business that only generates enough income to support the investor and their family is considered "marginal" and will be denied. Our plans demonstrate — through 5-year financial projections, hiring timelines, and revenue growth models — that your business has the present or future capacity to generate significantly more than a minimal living and to create U.S. jobs.

Substantial Investment
Your investment must be "irrevocably committed" and at risk. We document the source and path of funds, show how capital has been deployed across operational categories (equipment, lease, inventory, marketing), and link every dollar to a concrete business milestone. The plan demonstrates proportionality — that your investment is substantial relative to the total cost of establishing or purchasing the enterprise.

Real and Operating Enterprise
The business cannot be a paper organization or speculative holding. We build your plan around evidence of operational readiness: secured premises, executed leases, vendor agreements, permits and licenses in process, and a clear timeline from investment to opening day. For existing businesses, we document current operations and show how your involvement will expand the enterprise.

Job Creation
A credible hiring plan is one of the strongest ways to demonstrate non-marginality and economic contribution. We include specific roles, wages, full-time and part-time classifications, and a timeline tied directly to revenue milestones — typically showing 2–4 hires in Year 1 scaling to 6–10+ by Year 5, depending on business type.

Ready for your plan?

If you are investing in a real, operating U.S. business and need to prove substantial investment, non‑marginality, and job creation potential, your business plan must do more than “look professional.” It needs to answer the exact questions officers are trained to ask—clearly, consistently, and with credible numbers. Ours do that.

Economic Impact:  Our Differentiator and Our Specialty

The E‑2 enterprise must show that it will do more than simply support the investor’s household; it must generate sustained revenue, pay meaningful wages, and create or preserve U.S. jobs so the business is clearly non‑marginal. Officers typically look first at direct job creation over a five‑year horizon, the reasonableness of financial projections, and whether payroll, rent, and operating expenses are supported by credible market data rather than optimistic assumptions. Strong plans tie headcount growth directly to revenue milestones, show that roles are commercially necessary, and document how the business will remain viable even under slower‑growth or higher‑cost scenarios.

Beyond jobs, adjudicators weigh the broader economic footprint: local and state tax contributions, spending with U.S. suppliers and service providers, and the business’s role in strengthening its regional economy. Many practitioners now use structured impact narratives or tools such as BEA’s RIMS II multipliers to quantify how each dollar of spending circulates through the local economy, converting wages, vendor contracts, and capital expenditures into a defensible “total regional impact” figure that directly addresses marginality concerns.

E‑2 Business Plan FAQ

1. What exactly is an E‑2 business plan, and why do I need one?
For many E‑2 cases—especially startups and recent acquisitions—the business plan is the primary tool officers use to decide if your investment is substantial, your enterprise is real and operating, and your business will be non‑marginal. It explains your business model, investment, operations, financial projections, and job creation plans in a structured, immigration‑friendly format.

A strong E‑2 business plan goes beyond generic projections; it aligns each part of your business with E‑2 requirements like substantiality, real and active enterprise, and long‑term economic contribution through jobs and taxes.

2. How much do I need to invest for an E‑2 visa, and will my amount work?
There is no fixed minimum investment set by law; instead, your investment must be substantial relative to the cost of starting or purchasing your type of business, and it must be at‑risk and irrevocably committed. In practice, many successful E‑2 investments are at least around the tens of thousands of dollars, with observed minimums often near or above about $50,000 for smaller service businesses, though some trucking and low‑overhead businesses have been approved with less when the plan and evidence were strong.

The key is not just the number, but how your plan explains the proportionality of your investment, shows clear business needs for that capital, and ties it to credible operations and job creation.

3. What kinds of businesses do you write E‑2 plans for?
E‑2 investors succeed in a wide range of industries as long as the business is active, for‑profit, and capable of creating U.S. jobs. Common E‑2 business types include restaurants and cafés, franchise food concepts, cleaning and janitorial services, consulting and professional services, auto repair, real estate‑related services, beauty and personal care salons, child care centers, hospitality, and other service‑based enterprises.

Your plan is tailored to your specific industry, location, and strategy, with market research and operating details that make sense for your business model.

One of the most important considerations is the impact that can be shown

4. How long does it take, and what is the process?
Once you complete the intake questionnaire and share your basic documents (business registration, lease or purchase agreement if available, any financials, and resumes), your first draft is typically delivered in 7–10 business days. This timeline is comparable to other specialist providers, which often quote around one to two weeks for first drafts.

From there, you and your attorney review the plan, request revisions, and refine any details that need to align more closely with the legal strategy or embassy/USCIS preferences. Reasonable revisions tied to the same overall strategy are included in your fixed fee.

5. How do you work with my immigration attorney?
The most successful E‑2 filings come from collaborative work between the attorney and the business plan writer. Your attorney defines the legal strategy, preferred evidence, and any specific issues to address (for example, marginality concerns for solo service businesses or questions about the source of funds).

The business plan is then written to support that strategy—using consistent numbers, aligned assumptions, and clear explanations—so that the legal brief, exhibits, and plan all tell one cohesive story.

6. What happens if I receive an RFE or NOID?
If you receive a Request for Evidence (RFE) or Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) that raises questions about your business viability, marginality, or investment use, your E‑2 plan is updated to respond to those specific concerns. This may involve refining projections, adding more detail on operations or hiring, or clarifying how your investment is deployed.

RFE/NOID‑related plan updates tied to our content are included in the $995 fee, so you are not billed again just to defend the plan you already purchased.

7. Do you give legal advice or prepare my immigration forms?
No. This service focuses exclusively on immigration‑compliant business plans and supporting business documentation, not legal advice. Legal strategy, eligibility analysis, treaty country issues, and preparation of USCIS or consular forms must be handled by a qualified immigration attorney.

However, the plan is written to integrate smoothly with your attorney’s work, and can save attorney time by providing a well‑organized, detailed description of your business and financials.

During 2025, an estimated 50,000+ E-2 visas were approved, with approval rates remaining above 90% for properly prepared cases. Japan led issuances with approximately 14,366 approvals in fiscal year 2024, followed by South Korea and Canada at roughly 6,800 each. The program remains strong — but the gap between well-prepared and poorly-prepared applications is widening.
