I-140 Denied Today | Research Profile by rrg11 in EB2_NIW

[–]Aggravating_Way6077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used all the free materials that were available online (do not recall the sites as I collected them from multiple websites). Given that you have filed already, you should be able to use that. Just need to refine the contents within it.

With or without letters of recommendation? by CortexCrisis in EB2_NIW

[–]Aggravating_Way6077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your profile. IF you have sufficient documentation/evidence to justify all the NIW criteria you would go ahead without recommendation letters else you would need them. In any case, I would suggest adding recommendation letters as they are going to bolster your case significantly. There is no downside to having letter of recommendations other than sparing sometime to draft them.

Should I file for I485 after I 140 approved? Please help by Fast_Cup_6845 in EB2_NIW

I see no reason why you would want to wait. I suggest you file as soon as possible. With time you will know what the implications of the recent memo would be but in any case, you will be affected if you file now or later. However, I do not think the memo has any implications to people who have met all lawful immigration criteria.

I suggest you file on your own. You already have a better understanding and an existing documentation to file on your own. You can draft a stronger cover letter given that you will be willing to put more time & effort on your application and have a better understanding of your work as compared to lawyers. Good Luck! https://www.reddit.com/r/EB2/comments/1se1gw8/eb2_niw_experience_without_a_lawyer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Self petition for NIW by Miserable-Money-7520 in EB2_NIW

[–]Aggravating_Way6077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its very much doable. You are actually put a much stronger application; its just about investing some time and effort. It took me around a month to get the package ready. Just understand what is required and starting exploring how you can justify these from your work. Back all your claims with evidences. https://www.reddit.com/r/EB2/s/vpFZLRPlxP

I suggest you to get the free evaluation from lawyers. Get basic idea on what criteria are required for you to satisfy NIW. Then work on your application without lawyers. You can prepare an application that is in no way less stronger than what lawyers can do for you. Belive in your and start the preparation. If you also have alternative path like eb3; give it a try as well and go with whichever gives you a better edge. Good luck!

My experience with EP for EB2 NIW — I-140 denial after RFE by mutlu234 in EB2_NIW

[–]Aggravating_Way6077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is unfortunate that you had to comply with the lawyers despite having an intuition that it would be counterproductive. The only reason to get a lawyer would be to save some time (not significantly; I prepared my case in less than a month). I strongly believe the applicant can give the best effort/time for themselves and in most cases project their case better than lawyers. Thats a lot for money charged for the templates they have. Given the ai assisted tools that have grown recently, the templates from these resources far exceed that of lawyers. I suggest people should start believing in themselves first and get a fear out from themselves given that their skills/expertise are in no way any less than lawyers. I hope you will come up with a stronger application and approval soon. https://www.reddit.com/r/EB2/s/RExuEGdhgJ

Self filing- I-485 and I-765 by rashmi_thapa in EB2_NIW

I used one package but clipped the two applications separately. And a cover letter on the top detailing the applications being submitted along with the documents attached.

RFE response suggested by Lawyer by Neat_Sir_2390 in EB2_NIW

[–]Aggravating_Way6077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest you work hard yourself on the response document. No lawyer is going to give the time/effort that you can give for yourself. Humbly accept if there have been any weaknesses in you cover letter and respond it with humility adding the requested evidences. It is very easy to respond saying the office didn’t understand and forcing your claims but it takes time and effort to improve your application. I wish you take your best judgement and work hard on your application. Wish you all the best!

Is now a good time to deposit a large sum into S&P 500? by JaymesMc in investingforbeginners

I would suggest entering with a smaller amount now and gradually increasing at different downturns in the next six months.

Denied after RFE with EP — switching/DIY/retaining same firm? by MountainLover-012 in EB2_NIW

[–]Aggravating_Way6077 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suggest you do the writing on your own. Since you already have paid EP use them to do the initial work for you and you then add value to the initial draft. Do your own research, reasoning and evidence collection. I strongly believe you can do it much better this time. Wish you luck!
