ATTORNEYS REJOICE AT THE END OF DIY E2, L1, EB2 (AND OTHER) BUSINESS PLANS Business visa applicants are often known for their fearless and adventurous spirit. These traits help make them successful in business and give them the courage to set up shop in the United States. It’s also what leads many of them to choose to tackle the business plan portion of their visa application on their own. While in general these qualities serve them well, they can backfire when they lead to this decision. It can also make your job significantly harder. Below are the main pain points – as identified by our network of 900+ immigration lawyers and partners – of clients choosing to DIY their own business plans. The plan is not written with immigration officers in mind – Clients often feel up to the task because they’ve written a business plan before, such as for a bank loan application or to raise money from investors. Immigration officers, however, are a unique audience. The primary considerations when writing any business plan should be the objective and the audience. When it comes to immigration, clients frequently miss the mark. Improperly completing critical sections – One of the prominent deficiencies is not using proper resources to populate and support key sections like industry, market overview, or competition analysis. Due to the difficulty of gathering this information, clients often forgo these sections altogether or use untrusted sources that weaken the plan. Delaying the process and not meeting deadlines – Your clients are juggling many things. Writing a 30-40 page business plan in a timely manner is often a struggle. This can delay the process – leaving cases sitting on your desk longer – and even cause deadlines to be missed entirely. Increasing your workload – The process doesn’t just become delayed because you have to wait on your client; time is also added because more work is created for you or your firm. In order to ensure the plan aligns with immigration strategy and is free of distracting errors, you must now also act as a project manager, editor/proofreader, and even translator.
Alleviate Your Struggles by Partnering with an Immigration Business Plan Writing Firm Encouraging your clients to use a professional business plan writing firm is one way to avoid all of these issues. Not only will you get a plan that is done promptly, with little need for direction or oversight (and definitely no need for proofreading), you will free up time to focus on landing more clients. Best of all, the plan is written by business immigration experts who ensure it meets the expectations of immigration officers and is in full alignment with your immigration strategy. This creates a more polished, cohesive application leading to higher success rates. It is a win-win for both you and your clients.
