Ms. Z worked as a product manager at several well-known tech companies. While at a major tech company, she completed PERM and retained her priority date. She later left to found an MCN company that uses AI algorithms to match people, products, and settings.

After leaving her former employer, she needed the technical innovation and commercial value of her new venture to be recognized without company sponsorship, while also keeping the priority date she had already secured.

We made sure her priority date carried over properly after the employer change and the startup launch, and used media coverage and industry endorsements to highlight the innovation and economic contribution of her AI algorithms and MCN model.

NIW approved, carrying over the priority date she had previously retained.
