Success Highlight: EB-2 NIW Approval for Asset Manager from Canada

On April 4, 2023, LPY Law Group received approval of an EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) I-140 immigrant petition for an asset manager from Canada. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approved the petition without Request For Evidence.

For EB-2 I-140 immigrant petitions, the petitioner must show that he is either an advanced degree professional or possesses exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. For most EB-2 I-140 petitions, he must also have a permanent US job offer and an approved labor certification. However, the NIW waives the requirements of a permanent US job offer and an approved labor certification if the petitioner can show that his entry into the US as a permanent resident is in the national interest.

Our client has an M.B.A. degree from a US university. Evidence of his achievements and significant contributions to asset management included a series of scholarly publications that he authored and were published in prestigious forums. Demonstrating the recognition of his achievements and contributions, evidence was submitted of his role as a guest speaker and panelist at prominent national business conferences. In addition, evidence was presented of the various media reports about the client and his work, along with the client’s high salary in comparison to others working in his occupation.

Based on the substantive evidence, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest by advancing strategic financial knowledge for both individuals and institutions, thereby promoting growth in the national economy. We are honored to have represented this client and apply our legal expertise to enable him to contribute his unique gifts and talents to this country and we look forward to his future success!
