Turning the Tide: How Globevisa Helped a Client Secure a Green Card After an EB-5 Approval Was Revoked

Client Background and Case Timeline

Ms. X has an outstanding personal profile: a bachelor's degree from a well-known American public university and a master's degree from an Ivy League school. Her parents graduated from prestigious Chinese universities with degrees in international politics and have spent years building their own businesses.

In early 2025, Ms. X's EB-5 petition received I-526E approval. But just one month later, when everyone thought the green card was within reach, a Notice of Revocation from USCIS shattered the calm — the I-526E approval was formally revoked.

This was not a routine Request for Evidence (RFE), nor a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). It was a final revocation decision issued directly by USCIS. Citing relevant provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act, USCIS determined that the petition contained issues warranting reconsideration.

Meanwhile, Ms. X's I-485 adjustment of status application was still pending. The I-485 depends on the I-526E; with the underlying petition revoked, the I-485 faced the risk of denial at any moment. The entire family's U.S. plans hung by a thread.

USCIS's Comprehensive and Rigorous Scrutiny

USCIS's challenges to Ms. X were comprehensive and deep-reaching. From the source of funds to her personal background, nearly every aspect was re-examined.

1. The challenge of tracing parents' employment history: Among the parents' multiple early-career positions, some companies had long been dissolved or had their licenses revoked. Original files and company letterhead were impossible to obtain. How could USCIS be convinced that these work experiences truly existed?

2. Timeline mismatches between social security records and employment history: Start dates predating social insurance enrollment, discrepancies between the social insurance contributing entity and the actual employer due to affiliated-company payment arrangements, and continued work after retirement with no social insurance records — these "hard flaws" caused by historical circumstances became focal points of scrutiny.

3. Missing early income documentation: Pay stubs and tax records from over twenty years ago had long exceeded the retention periods of banks and tax authorities.

4. Overreaching inferences at the background level: Due to the family's educational background, overseas study experience, and past participation in social activities, USCIS examined these ordinary background elements under a national security review framework with a magnifying glass. USCIS needed to confirm: Was there any sensitive background?

Faced with these challenges, outsiders once believed this was a "nearly unwinnable" battle. But after a thorough assessment, Globevisa's documentation team concluded that while USCIS's challenges were numerous and complex, most stemmed from reasonable concerns arising from information asymmetry and amounted to making mountains out of molehills — not an unassailable case.

Globevisa Shatters Doubts with Professionalism and Facts

When others were pessimistic about this case, Globevisa's team did not retreat. Instead, it quickly developed a rigorous response strategy:

● Multi-source cross-verification to reconstruct the truth of employment: To address the problem of dissolved companies and missing documentation, Globevisa helped Ms. X obtain alternative evidence through multiple channels. Through multi-source cross-verification, the team conclusively proved the authenticity of the past work experiences.

● Reasonable explanations for historical discrepancies to resolve social insurance doubts: Globevisa's team did not evade the discrepancies between social insurance records and actual experience. Instead, it attributed them to historical causes — the lack of electronic data in earlier eras, the absence of mandatory enrollment in early periods, the institutional limitation that one person could only contribute social insurance in one place, and the common practice of contribution through affiliated entities. This transformed what could be framed as a "personal integrity issue" into a "historical objective phenomenon." USCIS can question an individual, but it is far harder to question the evolution of a country's social insurance system.

● Third-party corroboration and regulatory support: Globevisa's team helped the client provide third-party reference letters from former supervisors and colleagues. It also attached relevant regulations on social insurance implementation to explain the historical context.

● Proactive dissociation and rational clarification: In response to overreaching inferences at the background level, the team adopted a clear and objective proactive clarification strategy. Through a detailed self-declaration, it clarified the nature of the relevant experiences, and made accurate negative statements regarding what USCIS perceived as sensitive associations, using facts to dispel unnecessary concerns.

After receiving the NOR notice, Globevisa's team did not choose a passive, piecemeal approach. Instead, it proactively submitted supplementary materials with rigorous logic and a complete evidence chain, along with a detailed legal memorandum. From both legal and factual dimensions, it forcefully argued that Ms. X's petition fully complied with the law and posed no substantive security threat.

 

Finally, Success — Green Card Secured in 2026

After supplementary materials and legal advocacy with USCIS, the agency ultimately adopted Globevisa's arguments. The I-526E revocation decision was successfully overturned, and the I-485 adjustment of status application was approved. In September 2026, Ms. X finally received the green card she had long awaited.

From "I-526E approval revoked" to "green card lost and regained," this case went through one of the most perilous scenarios in EB-5 petitions. USCIS scrutinized nearly every aspect of Ms. X's source of funds and background — from education to employment, every link was re-examined.

Yet Globevisa's team did not retreat at any stage. Globevisa's professionalism does not lie in promising "guaranteed approval," but in knowing where to find the breakthrough when everyone else believes there is no hope.

The reversal in this case was not luck — it was the result of Globevisa's professional strength, an independent documentation team with over a decade of experience explaining source of funds, exposure to a wide variety of situations, and a vast database of successful cases. Receiving a revocation notice is not the end. With the right team, a reversal is still possible.
