E-2: the plan, and the business it describes.
The E-2 standards are business standards: capital at risk, a real and operating enterprise, more than a marginal living, an investor who develops and directs. I write the plan to those standards and build the business that meets them.
Business consultancy, not a law firm. Your attorney owns the case.
The work
The plan ($1,500, two weeks) produces the immigration-ready document: the enterprise, the market, five-year projections tied to the marginality standard, staffing, use of funds, your role. The 90-day build ($18,000, with the $1,500 plan fee credited against it) produces the enterprise itself: entity coordinated with counsel, site, product or service in operation, first customers, your public presence. The retainer keeps it real and visible through the renewals, which for E-2 never stop.
Why both
Plans fail politely and businesses fail loudly, and an officer checks both. A plan without an operating business behind it is the profile of a marginal case; a business without a defensible plan leaves the file mute about the next five years. The two documents an E-2 case runs on are the plan and the internet, and I write one and build the other.
Standards
Every claim above maps to a published standard: substantial investment, at risk, real and operating, marginality, develop and direct.
Questions
What does it cost?
The plan is $1,500 fixed, two weeks, with the build scope. The business itself is the $18,000 90-day build, and the $1,500 plan fee is credited against it. That build is capital an E-2 case has to deploy anyway; whether it counts toward the qualifying investment is your attorney's call.
How fast?
Plan in two weeks, business in ninety days. Consular timelines are your attorney's territory.
Do you work with my attorney?
Always. The attorney sets the brief and owns the case; I deliver the business side to it.
German?
Natively. Plan in English for the file, conversations in German if that's easier.
