Sophisticated Business Plans 詳細的計劃書

One common issue many potential immigrant investors and non-immigrant workers have to face is to write up a business plan that works.  In order for an I-526 to be approved, the investor has to draw up a very sophisticated business plan that shows that the applicant's investment would actually work.  Similarly, applicants for an E-2 visa or a L-1A visa under the new office provision also need to come up with a solid business plan.  That begs the question: what kind of business plan do these applicants need?

It seems that USCIS like facts and statistics to back up claims.  Therefore, whenever possible, try look for data that is published by the government, such as census and employment data.  If official data is impossible to be obtained, find other data that is published by private companies and give proper citations to the source of the data.  By doing so, it shows USCIS that the applicant is extremely serious about the business and a detailed business analysis has already been performed.  That in turn will improve the chance of an approval.

Moreover, a business plan that has solid projections would be preferred.  How the invested funds will be used, when and why a position is created, and the proposed salaries of the position should be explained and outlined. 

The key thing to bear in mind for most situations is this: a renewal will needed to be filed down the road.  If your initial business plan is lousy and unworkable, it may come back to haunt you when renewal comes!

投資移民及非移民工作簽證的申請人常遇到的一個問題是如何草擬一份可行的工作計劃書。要I-526申請被批准，投資者必須草擬一份詳細的計劃書來證明申請人的投資項目是的確可行的。 同樣地，申請E-2簽證或L-1A新公司的簽證也需要一份周全的計劃書。 那麼，怎樣的計劃書才算得上是可行的呢？

移民局看起來喜歡有事實和統計支持的計劃書。 所以，若情況許可，嘗試找出由政府出版，例如人口調查和就業數據的資料。 如果無法獲得官方的數據，就應該嘗試找到由私人公司出版的其他數據，並且列出數據的來源。這樣做可以令移民局相信申請人對投資項目非常認真，並真的詳細研究過投資項目是否可行，從而增加申請獲批准的機會。

再者，計劃書中應有詳盡的預測，解釋和概述將怎麼使用投資的資金、工作職位為什麼及在何時會被創造、以及職位的建議薪金等。

要記住，在大多數情況下，簽證是需要續期的。 如果您最初的計劃書是粗淺和難以使用的話，當您要申請續期的時候，可能會為您帶來更大的煩惱!
