Common Reasons for Denial
We identify risks early so you can address them before filing.
Insufficient evidence of sustained acclaim or extraordinary ability
Weak nexus between proposed endeavor and national interest (NIW)
Inconsistent or incomplete documentation of achievements
Source-of-funds issues (EB-5 investor petitions)
Specialty occupation not clearly established (H-1B)
Our pre-filing audit catches these issues before USCIS does.
