Challenges

The client faced several challenges in applying for the EB-2 NIW visa. The EB-2 NIW visa requires applicants to demonstrate exceptional ability in their field and provide evidence of national or international recognition for their work. The client had extensive experience in the food industry but lacked formal academic qualifications or recognition from international organizations.

Additionally, the client’s business was relatively new, and they did not have a long track record of success or substantial revenue. The client’s focus on providing gluten-free options to a specific population, while commendable, may not have been sufficient to demonstrate exceptional ability in the food industry.

Approach

To overcome these challenges, the client worked with our experienced immigration lawyer from IBP Immigration Law. The lawyer conducted a thorough evaluation of the client’s credentials and advised the client on the best approach to take for the EB-2 NIW application.

IBP Immigration Law helped the client gather evidence to support their application, including testimonials from customers and industry experts, articles written about the client’s products and business, and evidence of the client’s contributions to the food industry.

IBP Immigration Law also helped the client highlight their unique approach to providing gluten-free options to a growing population of Hispanic Americans. Our lawyer emphasized the importance of the client’s work in promoting health and wellness and providing healthy food options to individuals with dietary restrictions.

Results

The EB-2 NIW application was approved in just nine months, without a request for further evidence (RFE). The client, spouse and child under 21 were able to secure their green cards to work and live in the United States.

The successful application demonstrated the importance of highlighting unique contributions to a specific field and the importance of providing evidence of industry recognition and support. The client’s focus on providing healthy, all-natural gluten-free options to a growing population of Hispanic Americans was particularly relevant and demonstrated exceptional ability in the food industry.

Working with an experienced immigration lawyer from IBP Immigration Law was crucial to the client’s success. The lawyer provided guidance and support throughout the application process, helping the client gather evidence and present their case in the best possible light. Our immigration lawyer’s expertise and in-depth knowledge of the EB-2 NIW visa process were instrumental in securing the client’s approval.
