EB-2 NIW Case Study: Real Estate Developer (Case Denied)

A Real Estate Developer sought EB-2 NIW; he was focused on affordable housing with 3D printed modular construction; USCIS didn't buy it...

This is my second case study on an EB-2 NIW denial.

You can find here the first case study, which was for a lawyer who self-petitioned for EB-2 NIW and was denied.

• If you are new to U.S. immigration law, you should read my immigration law overview post, here.

• If you are new to EB-2 NIW, you should read my primer on EB-2 NIW, here.

In the first case study, a lawyer from Brazil did not qualify for EB-2 NIW because her proposed endeavor was not deemed to be of national importance.

In this second case study, for a Real Estate Developer, we see a slight twist on the issue of proposed endeavor having national importance.
