I've been told one of the worst crimes in a relationship is when one party leads the other
person on knowing that's not it's not going to last but just leads them on well the l1a eb1c
case category is kind of like that so l1a allows for somebody to come over to the United States as
an executive and work here for a couple years eb1c what are you proving you're proving that
this person is an executive doing the exact same thing so why would USCIS approve the l1a and then
later on deny the eb1c when they're supposed to look at the very same thing it's like a dating
relationship in the beginning one party says I'm five nine great you start dating two years
later sorry I don't date people who are five nine that's terrible that's this case let's get to it
hi everyone my name is Joseph I'm the managing partner here at John Associates where we solve
legal problems with Creative Solutions so this case is very dear to me because the client found
Us online flew to the U.S just to see me with their entire family and team it was a total
of like six people I remember the very day they stepped into the office sat down and said we read
your success stories we think you could do your case we don't have anything in the U.S first we
don't have any clients in the US we don't know how to do anything so we want you to walk us through
everything so that was like back in 2016-17 we sat down we talked about everything they were very
happy and then we filed their very first l1a case in case got approved the whole family came over
they set up the business we were there helping every single step of the way from renting the
office from decorating the office it was just so much stuff that we did for them and because they
were such a baby I have the whole case right here first l1a approval without an rfe second
l1a extension approval without an rfe and then we filed the eb1c and then we get this RF prove that
your employer abroad was doing a business and by the time this RFP was issued they've been here for
three four years doing executive duties that were already pre-approved it goes on for four pages
asking for the most basic rudimentary information that we've already provided in the first l1a in
the second l1a and the eb1 seed in total we filed probably over 3 000 pages of documents and now
they're asking for something so simple the clients were freaked out how are they going to prove that
they are executive or managerial beyond what they already did it's almost understandable that USCIS
does things this way to prevent fraud to prevent mistakes and to make sure only truly the best of
the best the best Executives the best documents can be approved and can come in but to clients
no they don't understand that right they've already provided everything in full and now
you want it again and now you're challenging something that's so simple so what do you do
we were able to tell the clients don't worry this is very much a boilerplate rfe request for
evidence they just want everything again it's okay what we could do is just take everything
we previously submitted copy and paste it over print it out mail it out the next day and say hey
we've already submitted everything you've probably misread it or it was lost in mail here it is again
please review the client could simply say okay well all the things they ask we could just give
you the updated versions of that just take it and mail it out again and hope for the best they want
a we give them a will they want B we give them B right just it's a very simple transaction but the
clients did not want to do that because they're terrified they were like no they want a we're
going to give them a b c d e f g we're going to give them the entire alphabet and we said okay if
that's what you want to do we're happy to do that with you let's do it we prepare the entire case
send it in of course the case was approved now the key takeaway and this is something I share
with clients all the time when USCIS issues you a request for evidence you're given three months
time you're given an infinite amount of pages that you can prepare to explain even though
they're asking for a you can totally do a b c and d or all the way through Z it doesn't matter they
don't limit you on that if you don't have stuff well then I understand but within three months
are you able to find it right you might not have it right now but give yourself three weeks are
you benefited give yourself three months are you able to find it and so I'm willing to do
as much as you want to do something it could be simple or it could be very complicated but that
is Who We Are if you have any questions about l1aeb1c would love to talk to you take care bye
