To gain permanent residency in the United States under the EB-5 immigrant investor category, you must first submit Form I-526 and have it approved by the USCIS. Whether you are establishing a new commercial enterprise, purchasing an existing business, or investing in a regional center, a well-crafted business plan will greatly increase your odds of success.
To obtain an L-1 intracompany transferee visa for an employee you wish to transfer to the United States, you will need to submit your company’s business plan to the USCIS during the application process (unless you have already submitted one for a previous L-1 visa application). The plan must be thorough and well thought out. US immigration authorities have provided some guidance on what constitutes a good business plan, at least for EB-5 immigration status.
