Marginal
We help you put together a strong, well-documented case by preparing and reviewing forms and narratives, compiling business plans and supporting evidence, and packaging the full application for consular or USCIS filing for a fixed fee.
Our process focuses on clarity, completeness, and consistency, so your submission is easy to follow and professionally presented.
Whether it’s a new application or a renewal, we deliver a fast, comprehensive application that both you and the adjudicator can easily understand and follow.
Cost
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST ?
Our service has a fixed cost so clients know exactly what they’ll pay with no hidden extras. The fee is £2995, whether it’s for a single person or a family of four or five, as long as all members are under 21. Anyone over 21 will need a separate application and, in some cases, a separate business. There’s also an MRV fee if applying through the embassy, or a filing fee if applying through USCIS.
HOW LONG TO PREPARE IT?
Once we have all the documents needed to build your case, we aim to have your application prepared in the required format within 7 working days, ready for submission to the immigration department. We provide an electronic Dropbox for clients to easily upload the requested documents.

For example, with $250,000 in revenue and $245,000 in expenses, a $5,000 net profit is just a 2% margin. Adjudicators may call this marginal because there’s little room for error, most profits are taken by the owner, cash reserves are low, or its performance fluctuates, making success risky if revenue drops.
Marginal businesses often have weak recurring revenue, poor customer retention, inconsistent earnings, and limited transferable value, leading to lower valuation multiples. For example, in the pool service industry, a company managing 93 pools with $215,000 in annual revenue but only $10,000 in profit would fit this description, this is the most common reason for E2 Visa denial.
However a pool company with 93 pools, annual revenue of $215,000, net profit between $70,000 and $90,000, strong customer retention, and recurring monthly contracts would generally be seen as a healthy small business rather than a marginal one and has a much better chance of E2 Visa approval.
small service businesses often need $50000–$100,000+, pool service companies $75,000–$150,000+, franchises $100,000–$300,000+, restaurants $150,000–$500,000+, and manufacturing $250,000+.
While it’s possible to get approved with less than $100,000, a safer target to lower visa risk is above $100,000.
Qualifying investments include things like buying an existing business, purchasing equipment or vehicles, paying lease deposits, marketing, stocking inventory, covering initial payroll, and paying professional fees.
Cash just sitting in a bank account doesn’t count—it has to be committed to the business and at risk.
For example, you bought a pool service company for $350,000, your application might be stronger if you purchased 100% of the business, invested most or all of that amount, projected growth and hiring, and showed the ability to generate profits beyond supporting just yourself.
Remeber the U.S. government wants to see that the business can create jobs and contribute to the economy within five years, so companies with employees, steady contracts, and growth plans generally fare better than one-person operations.
