Petition exhibits that survive USCIS scrutiny.
Investor-grade business plans, defensible financial models, and rigorous economic impact studies for E-2, L-1, EB-2 NIW, EB-1A, EB-1C, and EB-5 petitions – prepared to be filed, not rewritten.
The dedicated immigration practice of VAMA Consulting Group. We build the documentary evidence behind investor and employment-based petitions – every assumption sourced, every projection defensible, every impact figure traceable to its methodology. Attorneys receive exhibits that answer USCIS questions inside the four corners of the document.
Five-business-day turnaround – Confidentiality assumed – NDA available on request.
About the Segment
Formalized in 2025. Built for U.S. immigration counsel.
VAMA Consulting Group has supported entrepreneurs through cross-border expansion and U.S. market entry for over a decade. In 2025, we formalized that work as a dedicated Immigration Business Segment — a single practice with a single standard of evidence, structured around the documentary requirements of USCIS adjudication.
We build every business plan around the statutory test the petition actually relies on. For EB-2 National Interest Waiver filings, that means Matter of Dhanasar‘s three-prong analysis. For L-1 and EB-1C, the qualifying relationship and managerial capacity requirements. For E-2, substantiality and source of funds. For EB-5, at-risk investment and job creation. The architecture of the deliverable changes with the visa category, because the evidentiary burden changes with it.
- Andrija Popović, the practice lead and PhD candidate in Macroeconomics, personally leads every engagement in this segment.
WHAT YOU GET INSTEAD
- A business plan built around the statutory test, not a template re-skinned
- A financial model with every assumption sourced and documented
- An impact study that names its methodology (IMPLAN or RIMS II)
- A revision path that stays open through RFE response
SIX CORE DELIVERABLES
What We Build for Immigration Attorneys
Every engagement draws from the same six-piece toolkit. Take what the petition requires.
01
Business Plan
A USCIS-aligned narrative covering venture, market, strategy, operations, and a five-year outlook. Built around the statutory test the petition turns on – Dhanasar for EB-2 NIW, qualifying relationship for L-1 and EB-1C, source of funds for E-2 and EB-5.
02
Market Analysis
Industry sizing, competitive landscape, and demand validation. Sources include IBISWorld, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau, and recognized industry bodies. No aggregator blogs, no unattributed figures.
03
Financial Analysis
A five-year P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet in Excel, delivered editable. Every assumption documented line-by-line. Base, downside, and upside scenarios when the petition benefits from sensitivity analysis.
04
Organizational Chart & Staffing Plan
A role-by-role hiring plan with start dates, reporting lines, and U.S. wage-data benchmarks from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Built to support L-1 specialized-knowledge claims and EB-1C qualifying-relationship arguments.
05
Economic Impact Study
A job creation, tax contribution, and regional spillover analysis modeled with IMPLAN or RIMS II multipliers. Built for EB-2 NIW Prong 3 balancing arguments and EB-5 job-creation evidence.
06
RFE Audit
An independent review of an existing plan, model, or impact study. Identifies the evidentiary gaps adjudicators flag – before an RFE is issued, or in response to one already on the desk.
VISA CATEGORIES COVERED
What We Build for Immigration Attorneys
Each category has its own evidentiary burden. Every deliverable is tailored to the statutory test the petition turns on.
EB2-NIW
EB-2 NIW Business Plans and Economic Impact Studies
EB-2 National Interest Waiver petitions live or die on the three-prong Matter of Dhanasar analysis – substantial merit and national importance, the petitioner’s positioning to advance the endeavor, and the on-balance benefit of waiving the labor certification. We build EB-2 NIW exhibits around all three prongs.
The business plan documents the endeavor’s national importance with policy citations, market data, and a defensible scaling pathway. The financial model demonstrates the petitioner is well-positioned to execute. The economic impact study – using IMPLAN or RIMS II multipliers – quantifies the U.S. economic contribution that supports the Prong 3 balancing argument.
For RFEs on NIW petitions, we provide six months of revision support included on the same engagement.
L1
L-1 Intracompany Transferee Business Plans
L-1A and L-1B petitions require evidence of a qualifying relationship between the foreign and U.S. entities and proof of managerial capacity (L-1A) or specialized knowledge (L-1B). We build L-1 documentation to support both elements.
The business plan documents the U.S. entity’s operations, market, and growth pathway in language USCIS adjudicators expect. The organizational chart maps the managerial structure with specificity – role definitions, reporting lines, percentage-of-time allocations, U.S. wage-data benchmarks. For new-office L-1 petitions, the financial model demonstrates capitalization sufficient to support managerial operations within the first year.
EB-1A
EB-1A Extraordinary Ability Documentation
EB-1A petitions are evaluated on sustained acclaim and final-merits determination. While the petition letter itself is the attorney’s work, the supporting business plan or professional plan documents how the petitioner’s extraordinary ability will be applied in the United States.
We build EB-1A supporting plans that translate research output, publications, citations, awards, or industry recognition into a credible forward-looking endeavor – without overstating, without speculative claims, and with clear citations to the statutory criteria the petition relies on.
EB-1C
EB-1C Multinational Executive or Manager Business Plans
EB-1C petitions require evidence of a qualifying relationship, the beneficiary’s managerial or executive capacity for at least one year in the prior three, and the U.S. entity’s ability to do business as more than a shell.
We build EB-1C documentation that addresses each element with specificity. The business plan demonstrates active operations and a credible growth pathway. The organizational chart documents the executive role with percentage-of-time analysis and clear delineation between executive function and operational tasks. The financial model evidences the U.S. entity’s capacity to pay the proffered wage and sustain managerial operations.
EB-5
EB-5 Investor Program Business Plans and Job Creation Models
EB-5 petitions require evidence of at-risk capital investment, lawful source of funds, and job creation – at least ten full-time positions for U.S. workers per investor, sustained for the relevant period.
We build EB-5 business plans aligned to the Matter of Ho standards for credible, comprehensive plans. The financial model documents the use of funds, capitalization timeline, and operational projections. The economic impact study, modeled with IMPLAN or RIMS II, demonstrates direct, indirect, and induced job creation and provides the documentary basis for I-526E and I-829 filings
E-2
E-2 Treaty Investor Business Plans and Source-of-Funds Documentation
E-2 petitions require evidence of substantial investment, a real and operating enterprise (not marginal), and lawful source of funds. We build E-2 documentation that addresses each element.
The business plan demonstrates the enterprise is real, operational, and more than marginal. The financial model documents the proportionality test – investment relative to the cost of establishing a similar enterprise – and projects operational sustainability beyond marginal income. Source-of-funds documentation traces capital from origin through transfer with the specificity USCIS officers expect.
WHY ATTORNEYS SEND US CASES
The petition letter is your work. The exhibits behind it are ours.
- We do not draft petition letters, write declarations, or advise on case strategy — that is your jurisdiction, and the line matters.
What we do is produce the documentary evidence the petition relies on, in the form an adjudicator expects to read it. Citations to primary sources. Assumptions tied to public data. Financial models built from the ground up rather than retrofitted from templates. Impact studies that name the methodology and the model behind it. Plans structured so that the four corners of the document answer the questions the statutory test asks.
When an RFE comes back asking for the assumption behind a Year 3 revenue figure or the multiplier behind a job-creation claim, the answer is already in the file — and we provide six months of revision support on every engagement at no additional cost.
