Immigration can be a hassle, but Consulta makes it easier and cheaper. The company uses AI to help users file for family-related immigration documents like green cards and citizenship for only $500 to $1,000. Cheaper, faster, and with a 100% success rate, we talked to Yasaman Soroori to understand the company’s success.

What inspired you to take the leap and start this company?

Entrepreneurship runs in my blood—both of my parents are entrepreneurs, so I was always encouraged to work for myself. I saw firsthand the challenges and rewards of building something of your own, and I knew I’d do the same one day. When the opportunity arose to create Consulta Immigration, I took the leap. With my background in business and law and a passion for making immigration more accessible, it felt like the natural next step.

What does the competitive landscape look like, and how do you differentiate?

The immigration space is traditionally dominated by expensive law firms and outdated service providers, making the process complicated, costly, and inaccessible for many. While there are newer tech-driven solutions, most focus solely on automation without the human expertise needed for complex cases.  

Consulta Immigration differentiates by combining technology with expert guidance, ensuring affordability without sacrificing quality. We started with a B2C approach to build trust and community, and now we’re expanding into B2B, offering a seamless solution for businesses needing work visa support. Our phased approach to growth, continuous service expansion, and commitment to both individuals and companies set us apart in the market.

What is your strategy to grow Consulta Immigration?

Our growth strategy for Consulta Immigration has been intentional and strategic. We started with a B2C focus, offering just five family immigration services to establish our brand, gain the trust of the community, and build a strong foundation. Now, as we expand, we’ve introduced B2B services and launched two new offerings in Q1 of 2025, with plans to add two more each quarter. We’ve already signed on with two companies to assist with work visas, and our goal is to partner with as many businesses as possible. This not only supports their growth but also benefits their employees by making immigration more accessible and seamless.

Can you give us an example of something scrappy you have done for your company?

We were completely hands-on with everything in the early days—personally onboarding clients by going store to store and handing out flyers in the streets, making our own marketing videos, even building our own website. Before our software was ready, we did the applications ourselves to ensure a smooth process. That scrappy approach was crucial in helping us understand our clients and their needs firsthand. We’ve carried that data-driven mindset forward, always finding creative, cost-effective ways to grow.

You have an impressive list of advisors by your side. How do they help you?

One thing I learned from my father is to always listen and learn from people who have more experience and have done it before. That mindset shaped how we chose our advisors—we were strategic about bringing on people who could guide us in different areas of the business. From growth and sales to software, VC and fundraising, and even an advisor who built and exited a billion-dollar company, we wanted experts we could turn to for advice and whose insights we truly respect. Their guidance has been invaluable as we scale Consulta Immigration.

If we speak again in 12 months, which milestones will you have achieved?

In 12 months, we will have surpassed $2 million in ARR while successfully capturing the B2B market, all while continuing to strengthen our B2C services. We’ll have expanded our platform by adding at least six more services and further improving our marketplace. By then, we would have also raised our pre-seed round to fuel our next stage of growth.
