His income was transparent, but because of&nbsp;his usage of&nbsp;numerous bank, savings, and investment accounts, tracing the path of&nbsp;funds was an&nbsp;arduous task, leading to&nbsp;a&nbsp;petition containing several hundred pages. Because of&nbsp;S&rsquo;s&nbsp;desire to&nbsp;have his children go&nbsp;to&nbsp;US&nbsp;schools while waiting for the EB-5 visa, we&nbsp;helped him with their student visa applications. During the USCIS review process and suspension of&nbsp;the EB-5 Regional Center program, the developer paid back the loan, and it&nbsp;became necessary to&nbsp;redeploy the investment, i.e., because the EB-5 investment must be&nbsp;continued until 2 years after becoming a&nbsp;permanent resident, the EB-5 investment cannot be&nbsp;returned to&nbsp;the investor before then. We&nbsp;counseled S&nbsp;on&nbsp;the ramifications of&nbsp;the redeployment. USCIS approved his petition without a&nbsp;Request for Evidence, and the EB-5 visas were promptly issued after their interviews.</p>http://e-b-5.com/client-case-studies/case-of-ss/http://e-b-5.com/client-case-studies/case-of-ss/<p>Y&nbsp;was a&nbsp;developer of&nbsp;apps and sold his apps on&nbsp;the Apple Store.

After successfully selling hundreds of&nbsp;thousands of&nbsp;apps over the course of&nbsp;6 months and diligently paying his taxes, he&nbsp;decided to&nbsp;participate in&nbsp;the EB-5 program. He&nbsp;found an&nbsp;investment in&nbsp;one of&nbsp;the largest residential projects in&nbsp;the United States. All went smoothly&nbsp;&mdash; USCIS approved his petition without a&nbsp;Request for Evidence&nbsp;&mdash; until a&nbsp;consular officer decided to&nbsp;go&nbsp;on&nbsp;a&nbsp;fishing expedition, demanding 5 years of&nbsp;tax returns. We&nbsp;immediately intervened on&nbsp;behalf of&nbsp;Mr. v. , pointing to&nbsp;the fact that the funds were earned in&nbsp;a&nbsp;short period of&nbsp;time, that he&nbsp;had presented tax returns for that period of&nbsp;time, and there is&nbsp;no&nbsp;legal requirement to&nbsp;present the requested tax returns.

After nearly 3 years, he&nbsp;and his family received immigrant visas. But because of&nbsp;the pandemic and an&nbsp;elderly parent back in&nbsp;his home country living alone, Mr. P&nbsp;decided to&nbsp;obtain <strong>reentry permits</strong> for him and his family. We&nbsp;helped him complete the necessary forms before their departure. After 3 months, those applications were approved, enabling the family to&nbsp;remain outside the US&nbsp;for a&nbsp;protracted period of&nbsp;time during the pendency of&nbsp;their <strong>I-829 petition</strong>. Right before their extension notices expired, he&nbsp;and his family returned to&nbsp;the US&nbsp;and we&nbsp;arranged for an&nbsp;<strong>ADIT stamp</strong> appointment at&nbsp;their local USCIS office. After they received the stamps, they were able to&nbsp;return back to&nbsp;their home country to&nbsp;take care of&nbsp;Mr. P&rsquo;s&nbsp;mother.</p>http://e-b-5.com/client-case-studies/case-of-vp/http://e-b-5.com/client-case-studies/case-of-vp/<p>We&nbsp;represented Mr. V&nbsp;in&nbsp;the I-526 and I-829 processes.

He&nbsp;and his family obtained their conditional green cards in&nbsp;approximately 26 months. We&nbsp;then represented him in&nbsp;the <strong>I-829</strong> process. But before the expiration of&nbsp;his green card, the project developer in&nbsp;which he&nbsp;had invested repaid the loan. Because of&nbsp;the sustained investment requirement&nbsp;&mdash; that the investment must remain sustained throughout the 2 year conditional stage of&nbsp;the process&nbsp;&mdash; it&nbsp;was necessary to&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;redeploy&rdquo;</strong> his investment. We&nbsp;counseled Mr. V&nbsp;on&nbsp;the requirements and his options going forward. He&nbsp;was then able to&nbsp;maintain his residency status, eventually have his I-829 petition approved, and gain unconditional permanent residency for him and his family.</p>http://e-b-5.com/client-case-studies/case-of-ov/http://e-b-5.com/client-case-studies/case-of-ov/<p>We&nbsp;represented Mr. L&nbsp;in&nbsp;his EB-5 process.

After his petition was approved and the visas issued, Mr. L&nbsp;entered the US&nbsp;together with his wife on&nbsp;the EB-5 immigrant visas. 4 months later his children entered the US&nbsp;on&nbsp;their dependent visas. We&nbsp;filed the <strong>I-829 petition</strong> on&nbsp;behalf of&nbsp;Mr. L&nbsp;and his family. But because of&nbsp;the long processing times and the expiration of&nbsp;the green cards and extension notices, it&nbsp;was necessary to&nbsp;visit the local USCIS office for <strong>ADIT stamps</strong> to&nbsp;evidence their status as&nbsp;residents. Because of&nbsp;the different expiration dates, it&nbsp;was necessary to&nbsp;make appointments for the children separately from the parents. We&nbsp;called USCIS on&nbsp;behalf of&nbsp;the parents, received a&nbsp;callback 3 weeks later, appointed the date for visiting the local USCIS office, and he&nbsp;and his wife received the stamps. Four months later, we&nbsp;undertook the same process for the children. This enabled the family to&nbsp;have evidence of&nbsp;status, travel outside the US, study, and obtain new drivers licenses.</p>http://e-b-5.com/client-case-studies/case-of-sl/http://e-b-5.com/client-case-studies/case-of-sl/<p>With the lapse of&nbsp;the EB-5 Regional Center program in&nbsp;2021 and the pandemic, Mr. D&nbsp;encountered numerous difficulties.</p>Tue, 18 Jan 2022 12:15:00 +0300<p>With the lapse of&nbsp;the EB-5 Regional Center program in&nbsp;2021 and the pandemic, Mr. D&nbsp;encountered numerous difficulties.
