Business plan
Written to the standard these cases are judged by: the market, the company structure, the money, and a hiring plan the numbers support.
The other direction
Going to America.
Thirty-one kinds of US visa a Thai passport holder can apply for. We prepare your file. A US immigration attorney files it.
What we do, and what we don't
- We put the file together: the evidence, the official documents, the certified translations, the timeline and the sworn statements.
- We write the parts that must be written: the business plan, where the money came from, the job and economic analysis, and your personal statement.
- We prepare you for the interview, in Thai or in English.
- Legal advice and the filing itself are done by a US immigration attorney. We work with one. We are not one.
How a case runs
Intake
What you want, who is helping you in the United States, and what you have already tried. About one hour, in Thai or English.
The category
We tell you which visa fits you, and say clearly if a different one would be better.
The evidence plan
A list, in order, of every document you need and who issues it. Many refusals happen because one document was asked for too late.
The written work
The parts somebody has to write, not collect. This is the part that decides most cases.
Attorney review
A US immigration attorney checks the file and submits it. We hand over a file that is ordered and easy to read.
Interview preparation
We practise the questions, in the order they are asked, in the language you will answer in.
After
Approved, refused, or asked for more evidence. Each one has a next step, and we tell you what it is.
The written work
Collecting documents is only half the work. These are the parts somebody has to write, and the officer reads them closely.
Source-of-funds narrative
Where every baht came from, traced back to a source someone else can check, with a document for each step.
Job-creation and economic analysis
What the investment does in the local economy, in the form the adjudicator expects to see it.
Personal statement and timeline
The story of your relationship, career or work, told once and the same way throughout, with the evidence matched to it.
Certified translation
Thai official documents into English, certified, with names spelled the same way as in your passport.
Response to a request for evidence
We answer exactly what was asked, in the order it was asked.

Questions
Are you attorneys?
No, and we say so on every page. The desk assembles the file and writes the written pieces. A US immigration attorney gives the legal advice and does the filing. If someone tells you a non-attorney can do that part, walk away from them.
I was refused before. Is that the end of it?
No. What matters is what has changed since then, written down with evidence, before you pay the fee again. That is a separate piece of work and we price it separately.
Do you guarantee an outcome?
Nobody can, and anyone who does is selling you something. The consulate decides. What we control is whether the file makes the case it should.
How long does it take?
It depends on the visa type and on how busy the consulate is. We do not publish times on this page, because a published time is out of date very quickly. Your written price tells you the current situation for your case.
Can you work from Chiang Mai if I am somewhere else?
Yes. Most of the work is documents and phone calls. Only the interview needs you there in person, and we prepare you for it before that.
What does it cost?
We give a written price for each case before any work starts. The writing is priced separately from collecting the documents, because they are different amounts of work.

If you are not sure which one, describe your situation and we tell you.
