Immigration AttorneyIn its I-829 adjudication, USCIS must verify the inputs from the economic model and business plan. It is the investor''s responsibility to provide evidence that the inputs anticipated in the business plan (BP) and economic analysis (EA) report actually occurred. Therefore, in your example, if the EA model relied solely upon expenditures, then no W-2 information about direct jobs would be required. However, if the EA relied upon both direct jobs AND expenditures, then evidence of both would be required. At the I-526 stage, the BP and EA made a prediction/promise, based upon assumed inputs being factored into a multiplier model. Without proof that the actual input numbers were realized (two to three years later at the I-829 stage), there is no credit given to the model that was used to calculate indirect jobs.
