Business Plan Support for Requests for Evidence (RFE)

When USCIS issues a Request for Evidence involving the business, investment, financial projections, market opportunity, staffing, job creation, or viability of the enterprise, VenturePath can assist immigration attorneys and their clients with the business-related components of the response.

We review the existing business plan, relevant supporting information, and the business-related issues identified in the RFE to determine what revisions, additional analysis, research, or financial information may be needed.

How We Support RFE Responses

Business Plan Review
Review of the existing plan to identify areas that may require clarification, additional detail, or updated information.

Business Plan Revisions
Targeted revisions or, when necessary, more extensive restructuring of the existing business plan.

Updated Financial Projections
Revision of revenue assumptions, operating expenses, payroll, profitability, and other financial projections when appropriate.

Market Research & Industry Data
Additional market, industry, competitive, or demand research to strengthen business-related elements of the response.

Investment & Use of Funds
Clarification of the investment, expenditures, startup costs, and planned deployment of capital when relevant.

Personnel & Job Creation
Updated staffing plans, organizational structures, hiring timelines, job descriptions, and payroll projections.

Business Viability & Growth Strategy
Additional analysis addressing operations, customer acquisition, revenue development, expansion, and long-term business growth.

Consistency Review
Review of business plan assumptions and supporting information to help maintain consistency throughout the revised plan.

Focused on the Issues Raised by USCIS

An RFE response should address the specific issues raised in the case. Our approach is therefore targeted rather than generic.

We focus on the business-related questions identified in the RFE and develop the additional research, analysis, revisions, or projections needed to help immigration counsel prepare a clear and well-supported response.

Working With Immigration Counsel

VenturePath provides business planning, market research, and financial analysis services. We do not provide legal advice or prepare the legal response to an RFE.

We work in coordination with immigration counsel, who determines the legal strategy and requirements of the response. Our role is to strengthen the business-related documentation and analysis needed to support that strategy.

RFE Support Across Immigration Categories

E-2 Treaty Investor | L-1A / L-1B | EB-2 NIW | EB-5 Investor

Our RFE support is tailored to the specific visa category, business, and issues identified by USCIS. Depending on the case, we can revise a business plan originally prepared by VenturePath or evaluate an existing plan prepared by another provider.
