The partner that turns "my client needs a U.S. visa" into a vetted, filed, approved case.

Since 2015, we've helped foreign investors choose, fund and operate U.S. franchises and businesses that qualify for the E-2, L-1 and EB-5. We also work with a licensed U.S. immigration attorney to manage the filing, giving you one trusted partner for the entire process.

01

Franchise & business matching

From a network of vetted brands and acquisitions, we match each investor to a business that fits their capital, operating profile, and immigration timeline.

02

Due diligence, business plan & filing

We produce the financial models, source of funds support and visa-ready business plan, and coordinate with our attorney partner to prepare and submit the petition.

03

Soft landing & operations

Bank account setup, lease, hiring, document collection, and the first 18 months of operations, so the case stays approvable post arrival.

Built for referral partners

Your client's entire U.S. visa process, in good hands.

Many referral partners work hard to surface U.S. visa opportunities for their clients, then face the challenge of finding a reliable U.S. partner who can actually deliver end to end. We remove that problem entirely. One referral, and everything from business selection to immigration filing is managed by our team.

Questions referral partners ask first.

How is the partnership structured?
It is a straightforward referral relationship. You refer a client, and our team manages the full process: business selection, due diligence, business plan, and immigration filing, end to end. You receive a meaningful referral fee once their visa is approved. The exact terms are agreed and put in writing before any client is referred.
Do you handle the immigration filing as well?
Yes. We work with a licensed U.S. immigration attorney as part of our process. When you refer a client, you don't need to source or coordinate legal counsel separately. The attorney is already part of how we deliver the case.
What kinds of clients are a good fit?
Foreign nationals with $100K+ in liquid investable capital, a long-term plan to relocate to the U.S., and a willingness to actively operate a business. Most of our cases are E-2; we also support L-1, O-1, and pathways to EB-5.
What does the business plan look like?
USCIS ready: 5-year financials, hiring plan, market analysis, source of funds support, and the operational milestones consular officers expect. It's produced by our team as part of the standard process.
What happens if my client's case is denied?
We offer a money back guarantee on our consulting fees, applicable in the event of a second E-2 visa application denial under the conditions set in the signed Consulting Agreement. For full eligibility terms, please visit our money back guarantee page.
