Congratulations to My Client: a Successful EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) Brief
Congratulations to My Client: a Successful EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) Brief
Some minutes ago, I shared this life-changing news with my client — a social and civic entrepreneur — and he was super excited to hear that his EB-2 (NIW) petition was approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The Notice of Action was delivered today. This case, which I filed on February 24, 2023, was expedited using the premium processing option.
EB-2 (NIW) is an employment-based second preference (EB-2) - National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition, and it is one of the statutorily approved ways for qualified foreigners to become permanent residents in the U.S., and, subsequently, become U.S. citizens.
To support this brief, I submitted 131 exhibits.
My client, whose highest level of education at the time of filing was a master’s degree, had ZERO citation. This was not a conventional or classic NIW case. My brief focused on his work as a social and civic entrepreneur: advancing social and civic entrepreneurship, with a specific focus on using technology to prevent sexual violence or/and assault. Documenting his academic and entrepreneurial achievements, which he accumulated in Africa, among other things, and connecting that to the national interest of the United States: creating awareness and curbing of sexual harassment or assault in campuses, workplace, and communities. My brief focused on how his proposed endeavor will contribute positively to a serious issue that affects American campuses, workplace, environment, and communities.
As a matter of fact, there was no RFE request, for the first legal brief survived all the three elements of the Matter of Dhanasar, 26 I&N Dec. 884 (AAO 2016). Among other cases and relevant sections of Immigration and Nationality Act cited, to support the brief, I analyzed the requirements under Specific Evidentiary Considerations for Entrepreneurs (USCIS Policy Manual, vol. 6, ch. 5, pt. D.4.).
My client can now focus on advancing social and civic entrepreneurship. This is a big win for my client and his family members (derivative beneficiaries): that is the American dream.
Again, congratulations to my client!
