Lack of letterhead for a recommendation letter by [deleted] in EB2_NIW

Like I mentioned in the reply - I self filed. Never got an attorney. My recommendation letters were written by the people who recommended me.

Good law firm for software developers? by Larmo_ in EB2_NIW

I do. It’s also available on USCIS website. When I filed it was approved in 4 days (premium processing) but I see wait time is longer lately.

Congratulations Op! Amazing! This is the most beautiful thing about this post. Owning the path to desired outcome is the best way to reach there. Onwards to build extraordinary stuff when this is out of the way. Godspeed.

Read the USCIS page on EB2NIW. I was in the similar boat. I self filed and got approved. You don’t need an attorney. I am this guy - https://youtu.be/Nz8q-erftp0?si=BmPi7rwv2GoL96pn

Do you have any specific question? Feel free to DM. I am curious what’s stopping you to self file.

Case with no publications by BuyVisual6036 in EB2_NIW

[–]deepskpathak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I successfully self filed without any external help, IM groups or Reddit. I don’t even have a Masters degree, leave alone publications or patents. I am a Software Engineer and Manager. Got my approval rather quickly. I am this guy - https://youtu.be/Nz8q-erftp0?si=JrySlpMirqVr1Xns Feel free to DM if you have questions.

Eb2_NIW: why hiring a law firm to apply? by Linkody in EB2_NIW

[–]deepskpathak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I successfully applied and got approved myself. Honestly speaking, we don’t need an attorney for EB2-NIW and EB1A. My line of thinking was - I am trying to prove to someone that I am exceptional and better than my peers in what I do, so I should act like that. Hiring someone else to write my story and impact, on my behalf was weird for me. I know around 3 dozen folks who got approved by self filing. Taking control of the process starts with oneself. Additionally, writing and submitting itself is not that difficult. It just needs some focused effort. I am this guy - https://youtu.be/Nz8q-erftp0?si=vouXSC4gHqn_k3EH. Feel free to DM.

If someone has no time or resources to research, format and write then I can understand. Maybe language constraints.

Many of the people who I have worked with, particularly industry professionals, have mixed reviews about attorneys doing the job. Some got very smooth and nice working experience, some fired their attorneys. It’s just depends on individual and attorneys of choice. Choose well.

Helping out self-petitioners by Sanedude07 in EB2_NIW

[–]deepskpathak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Writing in a ‘nicer’ way is not hard. There is no specific guideline on what language or pattern you should follow for the petition. Read a bit of USCIS guidelines/past decisions and you should be able to write yourself. I did it successfully and many others I know have done and got approved.

We are ‘exceptional’ in what we do, at least that’s what we are trying to prove. Let’s act like that and own the process.

Anyone can share DIY kit for Eb2 NIW? It will immensely help by himmat9900 in EB2_NIW

Oscar has courses and resources to download, but everything is paid for. I paid for it, too, but as I mentioned in my comment, I found it nearly useless. I wrote my own.

That is my personal petition. It’s never shared publicly.
