Is a business plan required for EB-2 NIW?

Key answer

It is not mandatory: a business plan matters when your endeavor is your own project or startup and you must show how you will fund and grow it. If your benefit to the US is proven through profession and track record, you can do without one. Past experience always feeds the well-positioned prong.

The answers below are translated from the original Russian - the language of the community chats.

  • It is not necessary to create a startup. If you know where you will work, what you will do, and what benefits it will bring to the U.S., you can do without a business plan.

  • With EB-2 NIW, you theoretically have a project - a business plan shows how you plan to finance and develop it. Artists and psychologists probably do not need it.

  • Previous experience is necessary to demonstrate that you can implement your project in the U.S. - this is your second pron, well positioned.
