Chidi’s Hard Lesson

USCIS denied Chidi despite Ingram’s revised filing, national impact deemed insufficient, heritage scrutiny tipped scales. Relocated to London, PayLink thrives. Chidi: “Trusted the wrong advisor.” Ingram fought hard, proof experience decides fate.

Recap Part 3

Denials, scrutiny, expert rescue. Chidi’s story warns weak petitions fail.

Long-Term NIW Power
