My mother is a petitioner under the EB-5 program. We have been living and working in the U.S. as green card holders/LPRs. USCIS denied our I-829 in September 2023. We will file the I-290B motion to reopen or reconsider in the coming days. I have accepted a job offer based in NYC and the company is currently conducting a background check. I am worried that the USCIS denial would raise a red flag. My I-551 stamp is effective until February 2024. Am I eligible for employment? What should I expect?
