How Much Does an Immigration Business Plan Cost? (2026 Pricing Breakdown)
Immigration business plans range from a few hundred dollars to well over $10,000, depending on who writes them and what visa category they support. Before paying anyone, it helps to understand what each price tier actually buys — and where the quality differences show up in front of an adjudicator.
This guide breaks down what to expect at each price point in 2026, by visa category.
