E-2 Business Plan
E-2 visa · Reinvent NY glossary
The E-2 business plan is a critical document submitted with the visa petition, typically 25-40 pages long. It must include an executive summary, market analysis, organizational structure, 5-year financial projections, and a job creation timeline. USCIS officers use it to evaluate whether the investment is substantial, the business is viable, and it will not be marginal. Professional business plans cost $2,000-$5,000 to prepare. A weak business plan is one of the top reasons for E-2 denials.
