In this episode we talk to “Caroline” about her bootstrapped E-2, Immigration Attorney selection and the importance of a business plan.
 
On this episode we have “Caroline” as she discusses:
 

How a $40k start up investment was approved for an E-2 visa
How she selected her immigration attorney (out of 6)
Immigration concerns: Complexity & Scary
The importance of immigration representation that “believes in you and your story”

Her Business plan development
Outsourced to a firm that didn’t engage with her on the specifics of her business
She then recreated the written elements of the plan to align with her story and “vision”
Engaged  Foreign Investor Resource Group to recast the financial projections
She then understood and supported her business plan during her immigration interview



I usually asks our guests to offer our audience a discount on their product or services.  Since “Caroline” wishes to remain anonymous and we did touch on business plans for E-2 visas, I want to link to Foreign Investor Resource Group‘s free resources.
