One of our recent success stories involved a Canadian businessperson who successfully transitioned from an L1A visa to an EB-1C visa. Initially, the EB-1C petition was denied due to errors made by a previous immigration attorney, but through our dedicated efforts, we were able to turn things around. Here’s how we successfully helped Kevin and his family.
The Initial Problem:
Kevin’s U.S. employer had originally filed for an EB-1C visa (reserved for multinational executives or managers) to allow Kevin to work and reside in the U.S. Kevin had already been working in the U.S. on an L1A visa, which is typically a precursor to an EB-1C. Unfortunately, the attorney handling his EB-1C application failed to properly demonstrate the managerial and executive capacity of Kevin’s role in his Canadian company. As a result, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) denied the petition, and the attorney’s response was insufficient to overturn the decision.
How We Resolved the Case:
Kevin and his employer reached out to us for help after this denial. We knew we had to present a stronger, more thorough case to get the EB-1C petition approved. Our team took the following steps:
- Careful Case Review: We meticulously reviewed all of the evidence, identified the shortcomings of the previous application, and pinpointed the reasons USCIS questioned Kevin’s role.
- New Application Filing: We refiled the EB-1C petition, presenting clear and comprehensive evidence of Kevin’s executive and managerial roles within his Canadian company.
- Attention to Detail: By providing a stronger narrative supported by detailed documentation, we were able to convince USCIS of Kevin’s qualifications, which led to the approval of the petition.
Green Card Success for Kevin and His Family:
After securing the EB-1C approval, our next step was to file for green cards for Kevin, his spouse, and their children. We successfully navigated this process, and all of their green card applications were approved without any issues.
Client Testimonial:
“Christine and her team are simply great and very professional immigration attorneys. Their customer service is outstanding. When we first met, they analyzed our case and described exactly what would happen. All the process went exactly how they described it, there has been no mistake, error, or anything. We can tell they have extensive experience and strong expertise. That was simply perfect from the beginning to the end. I strongly recommend this office for every immigration matter to anyone.”
Conclusion:
Kevin’s case is a perfect example of the importance of having experienced and detail-oriented immigration attorneys by your side. By correcting the mistakes made by the previous attorney, we were able to successfully transition him from an L1A visa to an EB-1C visa, secure his U.S. employer’s petition, and help his entire family obtain green cards. Kevin and his family are now happily settled in the U.S., and we’re proud to have been a part of their journey.
