F.A. invested $500,000 in an American construction project and subsequently applied for an EB-5 Immigrant Investor visa in March 2017. F.A. and her husband, A.Z., were interviewed at a U.S. Embassy on August 6, 2017. Much to their dismay, Presidential Proclamation 9645 was implemented just a few months later, barring their immigration to the United States. As a result, their application remained pending for two and a half years before they contacted Nimer Law.
F.A. inquired with the Embassy regarding the status of her case countless times and requested an expedite for her case, but she was repeatedly told that her case was pending “administrative processing.” F.A. also checked the CEAC website almost daily, but no updates were posted. A.Z. spent a fortune on a business investment and yet she was made to endure the despair of living in uncertainty for years.
Furthermore, A.Z.’s father in the United States had been suffering from serious health issues. A.Z.’s father had been expecting his daughter’s arrival to the United States for two and half years. A.Z. wished more than anything that she could be by his side throughout his illness but was only being prevented by the adjudication delay. The thought that she might not make it the United States in time to support her father was emotionally devastating.
Thankfully, on December 14, 2019, Nimer Law filed a lawsuit challenging this awful and unreasonable delay. We are thrilled to announce that on January 30, 2019 A.Z. and F.A. were issued their visas! A.Z. was so excited and relieved to hear the news and we are so proud to have been able to play a part in her and her husband’s future success!
