LPY Law Group

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.

On June 6, 2023, LPY Law Group (LPY) received approval for a Form I-601 Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility and Form I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status for a Client who was, at one point, a member of the communist party prior to coming to the United States.

Client came to the U.S. with an F-1 visa to earn her Master’s degree. Soon after graduation, she met her husband, a U.S. citizen, and they were married.
