Are you applying for an E-1 Treaty Trader Visa? Your petition isn’t complete without a detailed, professionally written business plan that clearly demonstrates international trade volume, economic benefit, and USCIS compliance.

No matter your industry, we tailor each plan to reflect your trade volume, business model, and visa objectives.
Yes. While a business plan is not explicitly listed as a requirement by USCIS, it is highly recommended, especially when applying through a U.S. embassy or consulate. A professional plan provides clear proof of trade volume, economic benefit, and your role in the business. Many immigration attorneys and adjudicators expect to see one as part of a well-prepared E-1 petition package.
Substantial trade refers to a continuous flow of sizeable international transactions, not a one-time shipment. This includes frequent trade in goods, services, or technology between the U.S. and your treaty country. The trade must also be more than 50% with the U.S. A strong business plan will include transaction summaries, trade values, and flow charts to demonstrate this.
Absolutely. We work with both operational businesses and early-stage startups. For new E-1 ventures, we craft forward-looking plans that include projected trade activity, market research, and execution strategies, helping immigration officers understand how your business will meet visa criteria once launched.
Yes. All E-1 visa plans include 3 to 5 years of custom financial projections, a detailed trade activity section, and supportive charts or graphs that illustrate your trade flows. These sections are critical to proving your business is real, substantial, and economically viable.
