USCIS created a new controversy in the EB-5 immigrant investor world when it released a memorandum on February 17, 2012, concerning what it calls the “tenant-occupancy” economic methodology. On May 8, 2012, USCIS provided guidance on what deference it would give prior EB-5 adjudications that involved tenant-occupancy issues:

Will I be able to file my R-1 petition using premium processing?
Premium Processing will be permitted only for those petitioners who have previously completed a successful on-site inspection at the location where the beneficiary will be employed.
If I do not file my petition using premium processing, how long will it be before I receive a decision from USCIS?
For an H-1B petition filed not using premium processing, it can take from two to six months before a decision is received from USCIS.
I will be completing my Bachelor's Degree in August 2013. Am I eligible to apply to submit my petition on April 1, 2013, for the 2014 H-1B quota?
All requirements towards the Bachelor’s Degree must have been met at the time of submitting the H-1B petition to USCIS.

Our client received an approved I-140 for EB-2, but, with the priority dates at a standstill, opted to file under EB-1 as well. She had three Ph.D.’s in Marketing and Management. We provided documentary evidence to show her unique specialty in the social sciences. This applicant had some significant publications but not as many of some other scientists. However, we were able to prove that, with social scientists, the data collection process takes substantially more time and, therefore, the volume of publications would not be the same as a hard scientist. We were able to show that sever

FAQs: EB-1C (International Managers and Executives): Eligibility for H-1B managers in the USA
I had a great experience dealing with Rajiv Khanna ji's office. My US EB1A petition received amazing support. Being proactive and meticulous, Diane in his office is a terrific expert to deal with. I-140 approval went through a smooth process from start to finish. Rajiv ji's accessibility made sure I could make the proper choices when I needed to. Although at first I thought Rajiv ji was being unreasonable in asking that I gather and submit all the documents for the petition, I came to see that his demands were there to ensure my success. Rajiv ji's office is unquestionably the best place to go if you want to meet your US Visa milestones on schedule. I'm grateful to you, thank you Rajiv Ji.
Rajiv and Diane are the best immigration lawyers I've worked with in my 12 years in the US, across the several firms I've worked with over the years. I worked with them on my O-1 visa. Processing timeline delays with my PERM application nearly threatened my work authorization in the US. Rajiv and Diane worked on a tight timeline expeditiously not only to get my O-1 visa approved but also to get my green card approved, all within 6 months. This is the fastest timeline I have seen - they are a great team!
