Built by someone who's done this — twice.

I moved from France to the United States and built my life here over the past 10 years. Along the way, I filed my own E-2 treaty investor visa application — twice — and both times I did it myself, without paying a single dollar in attorney fees.
I also built Pastreez, a multi-million dollar macaron delivery business, from the ground up. That combination — actually building a U.S. business, and actually filing the visa that let me do it — is what Visa Crafter is built on.
This isn't a platform built by lawyers guessing what investors need. It's the exact framework I used, turned into a guided tool so you don't have to start from a blank page like I did.

Arrived in the U.S.
Moved from France with a plan to build a business here — and no idea yet how the visa side actually worked.
Step 1
The $500 consultation
Before filing anything, I paid an immigration attorney $500 just for a consultation — to understand what an E-2 filing actually required. Their quote for the full package: $15,000.
Step 2
The realization
Once I saw what the attorney actually did, it clicked: fill in the blanks, organize the file, mail it to the embassy. Nothing in there I couldn't do myself.
Step 3
I wrote my own plan
With that knowledge — and a fair amount of courage — I built my own business plan, organized exactly the way the U.S. embassy wanted to see it.
Step 4
Approved
First E-2 visa approved. Self-filed, start to finish, for $0 in attorney fees.
Step 5
Renewed
Renewed the E-2 a second time — same process, same result. Twice approved, twice for free.
Today
$30,000 saved, reinvested
Two attorneys' worth of fees stayed in my business instead of leaving it. That's the exact framework Visa Crafter is built on — so it can do the same for you.
