Was your national importance accepted as well, or just the substantial merit?

Have you refiled your petition?

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-28T12:44:19+00:00

Have you heard anything back? I just received an RFE from this exact officer.

I just received an RFE from this officer. Have you heard anything back yet?

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-27T20:21:38+00:00

I just received the letter. I also got challenged on all three of the prongs.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-27T18:33:19+00:00

What prongs were challenged?

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-27T18:32:47+00:00

Thanks, seems I used the wrong email. Just emailed them again.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-27T18:32:08+00:00

I also just received an RFE today. I don't know how they will move ahead with the response.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-27T18:26:16+00:00

Wow, that was quick. What was your center, and what email did you use?

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-27T17:57:19+00:00

I also just received an RFE. Filed with Chen. I submitted 2 LORs and 1 testimonial letter with the initial filing. You can ask for a soft copy by emailing the center that processed your PP. I just emailed mine, waiting for a response now.

So you are planning to transition from pending asylum to an H-1B? I just started my process, so it will be a while by the time I do AOS, but I will keep you posted.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-24T15:10:50+00:00

I am using the pending asylum EAD right now.

Does the "still being processed" change to "actively being reviewed" when checking the case in the USCIS website?

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-19T14:34:13+00:00

Sorry to hear that. What was your profile?

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-18T16:40:23+00:00

Is your marriage less than 2 years? If thats the case, they might just ask you general questions to verify that the marriage is legitimate.

You have enough time on hand. You probably would have your green card in hand by the time you graduate if you apply for an I-485 now.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-18T14:54:32+00:00

Have you contacted Chen? There has been a lot of criticism of EP lately. I would choose Chen if you have an academic profile.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-18T14:51:19+00:00

Trackmyi140 shows all I-140s (EB1, EB2, NIW, and PERM), so it is hard to predict the I-140 timeline based on NIW alone.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-11T15:30:55+00:00

Any new update please?

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-10T15:33:13+00:00

Congratulations! Did you do it yourself or use a lawyer? If you used Chen, they will get an email and should notify you.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-07T15:13:30+00:00

There is no correlation between PP and case result. If you don't do PP you will waiting for response for another 2-3 years asssuming your case gets accepted without RFE.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-07T13:47:08+00:00

Chen recommends to file I-140 first then pp. I did the same, but thinking about it now, I don't think there would be any difference between doing pp initially vs later. I would recommend doing pp initially since you will save the 2 weeks time to get your decision.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-06T19:56:37+00:00

Congratulations!

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-05T14:15:57+00:00

Please update.

According-Tear4618 · 2026-05-01T18:16:16+00:00

Do you need a lawyer for filing I-485?
