Typically, there will be charts and graphs and segments and markets and various other items to indicate to U.S. Immigration or the U.S. Consulate how well the business will be doing in 5 years, that it will comply with the immigration regulations, statutes and requirements and that the officer will have the authority to approve this investment visa.
