I described my business plan in the petition letter. Do I need to attach it too?

Describing the business plan in the petition letter already provides a general overview of your project. Even so, in an EB-2 NIW case it is usually worth attaching a complete and detailed version as supporting evidence as well.

The detailed document helps demonstrate, in more concrete terms, how your activities benefit the United States, which is the central point of the national interest argument. A thorough and well-organized submission tends to make the case more compelling.

There is no single rule: the need for additional attachments depends on the specifics of your case and what the USCIS may request. For that reason, keep everything consistent and well-substantiated.

If you have questions about what to include, it is worth checking the updated guidance on the USCIS website or consulting a specialist to align your documentation without making promises about outcomes.
