We just successfully secured an NIW approval for an entrepreneur on an E-2 visa who founded a martial arts gym. The applicant proposed to expand the gym to multiple locations in rural and remote areas, creating a number of jobs in the process, and proposed to bring innovative approaches to make martial arts training more accessible through distributing a mobile and web app to allow virtual training and hybrid training from home. The endeavor’s benefits to community health and welfare were confirmed by letters of support from relevant government officials in the area.
With strategic advocacy, we were able to present a persuasive case for national importance for an endeavor in a non-traditional field. NIW can be an invaluable path towards a green card for entrepreneurs, but strategic presentation is key because NIW petitions are very subjective, which requires lawyers who deeply understand the rules and case law.
If you are considering a green card through the NIW path, schedule a consultation with our experienced immigration attorneys today.
