An entrepreneur who previously held E‑2 status recently obtained a green card through an EB‑2 NIW petition. The applicant had established a business focused on B2B tech branding and marketing and demonstrated strong potential to advance the field. Based on the growth of the venture and the projected impact on the industry, an EB‑2 NIW I 140 petition was filed and approved without a request for evidence.
After the I 140 approval, the applicant continued expanding the business and maintained valid E‑2 status. When the priority date became current, the applicant filed an I 485 to adjust status to permanent residence. USCIS approved the application in less than four months, and the case moved forward without the need for an interview, reflecting the strength of the record and the consistent development of the business project.
