IMMIGRATION BUSINESS PLANS
Visa business plans built on PhD research, expertise, and real RFE data.
ProfVal's immigration business plans are customized through 1:1 collaboration with a business expert like Maialen H., MBA (pictured). Our plans not produced through high-volume, template-based processes.
Each plan integrates EOL expertise, USCIS adjudication intelligence, and sound business strategy specific to your visa type, petitioner, and attorney case strategy.
WHAT SETS OUR PLANS APART?
Built differently — because every entrepreneur is different.
RFE intelligence built in
Refined through analysis of thousands of RFE reviews — so plans address known adjudication concerns before they become problems.
Original — not templated
High-volume providers produce plans that look polished but identical.
Every ProfVal plan is researched and written individually — your story, your business, your visa.
MBA and PhD editors
Each plan is edited by a professional with an MBA or PhD in a business field — under ProfVal's PhD-founded research framework.
60 days unlimited revisions
Revisions included for the original scope of work — so attorneys can adapt the plan as case strategy evolves. Attorney cc on order qualifies for law firm pricing.
EOL integration — unique to ProfVal
The leading provider offering both business plans and Expert Opinion Letters. When developed together, they're built symbiotically — stronger evidence, shared case setup.
Save $100 on your EOL when bundled with a business plan

E-2
E-2 Investor Business Plan

O-1
O-1 Business Plan
Supports O-1 petitions for individuals of extraordinary ability by demonstrating that the proposed enterprise is credible, operational, and structured to support a qualifying employer-employee relationship.
A critical element of O-1 adjudication for entrepreneurs and self-sponsored petitioners is establishing a legitimate employer-employee structure — showing that the petitioner will work under the oversight of a board of directors, officers, or other supervisory body, rather than simply owning and controlling the entity without independent oversight. ProfVal's O-1 Business Plans address this directly.
Equally important is demonstrating non-speculative, credible business activity. USCIS officers look for evidence that the enterprise is viable and active — through contracts, defined revenue models, operational strategy, client pipelines, and realistic financial projections. Vague or aspirational plans without concrete business foundations are a common cause of O-1 RFEs.
ProfVal's plans are built around the specificity that O-1 adjudicators require.

OUR APPROACH
Research-driven. Attorney-aligned. Built for real businesses.
Developed in collaboration with professors of entrepreneurship and business administration from AACSB-accredited institutions — refined through input from startup advisors, business plan competition judges, and thousands of RFE reviews. Produced in partnership with GuidedVenture, ensuring both immigration compliance and sound business fundamentals.
USCIS-aligned from day one
We know what adjudicators look for because we've studied what triggers RFEs. Every plan proactively addresses known adjudication concerns for its visa category.
1:1 with a business expert
Each plan includes a video call with a ProfVal expert. Easy onboarding — we can pre-fill the intake form when immigration documents are shared.
Attorney collaboration built in
We align the business plan with your attorney's case strategy. Feedback loops are fast and 60 days of revisions are included.
Optional: expert industry consultation. ProfVal's network of U.S.-based distinguished experts — the same experts who author Expert Opinion Letters — can provide an optional consultation call offering industry-specific perspective on your business. Useful for businesses in highly technical or specialized fields where an expert's view adds credibility to the plan's market analysis.
