EB-5 Business Plan Amendments and Updates for I-526 RFEs, NOIDs, and Appeals

USCIS may request additional evidence or deny I-526 petitions if the agency concludes that the I-526 business plan is not sufficiently comprehensive and credible, and does not demonstrate that the enterprise is likely to operate and create jobs as projected.

An amended or updated business can assist in responding to questions and concerns from USCIS. The business plan can be used to

  • Present the additional business evidence and clarifications requested by Request for Evidence (RFE);
  • Address problems identified by Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID);
  • Present a renewed case for eligibility on appeal;
  • Present new facts and evidence needed to support a Motion to Reopen; and
  • Discuss changes and provide clarifications while emphasizing material consistency with the original I-526 business plan.

Lucid Professional Writing prepares business plan amendments and updates for use in RFE and NOID response and appeals. We approach this delicate work based on long experience with EB-5 cases and in-depth knowledge of EB-5 eligibility requirements. In preparing plans, we

  • Start with strategy, identifying specific goals and relevant content for the plan;
  • Try to tell a coherent and compelling story that provides a framework for interpreting supporting evidence;
  • Recognize which details require independent corroboration and marshal appropriate evidence to support the business plan market analysis, operational plan, financial projections, budget, and schedule;
  • Update the original business plan, emphasizing continuity while describing changes in a manner informed by the USCIS material change policy and interpretations from previous cases;
  • Identify and reconcile apparent inconsistencies.
