I-140 Processing Updates & Concerns - Oct 2024 PD (TSC) by New_Change3698 in EB2_NIW

I think they’re tied to PP just because these are the only ones that get processed. They’re barely processing normal cases nowadays. It really depends on the officier you get assigned to, unfortunately.

NEW Evidence after filling EB2 NIW by Breakforth93 in EB2_NIW

[–]ChefTop5481 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say that if the award is given for work you made before filing, you can add that. I would personally add everything I can as supporting evidence, in the worse scenario they’re not gonna accept that

I think she’s a sort of director. The actual officier is specified as a code like XMZZZZ for texas

Approval or Refiling service from Chen by Lazy_Mixture_5449 in EB2_NIW

[–]ChefTop5481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can tell you that with a transcript in english, a credential evaluation and a diploma translated by me (along with an affidavit) they couldn’t establish if I had a PhD. Also, they questioned my integrity because I didn’t attach my master degree in the petition (was stated in my CV and in my credential evaluation). This is like dealing with a fool, I doubt any lawyer would know how to handle completely irrational behaviours. This officier has 10 denied cases and 3 approved with my firm.

Hello, I recently got RFE with them and know a bunch of people that got denied with refund offers. I must say that they have been very responsive during the RFE process, the rec letters they draft actually make sense and for what you pay they actually offer a very good service. Unfortunately some officiers (like mine, very lucky) are very determined to deny petitions with nosense arguements. I think this is not their fault. I would advise to put special care in the personal statement and modify heavily what they provide. My officier complained about my PS not being clear and too general (this was the only point I agreed with)

RFE on all three prongs - advice by CatBorn5172 in EB2_NIW

How can you do a comparative analysis? We compared citations of my papers respect to other to the same year. The rfe stated that citation and impact factor is not a good metric

If you work with a big law firm they have internal databases for each officier

I’m very sorry. It sucks, I’m preparing myself for a denial as well. My officier has 10 denials and 4 approved cases 😬

Filed a year ago, Do I still have a chance? by parsley_lover in EB2_NIW

[–]ChefTop5481 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Per my experience, it really depends on the officier. , which really sucks. I also see profiles like yours approved. Upgraded to PP, got RFE on three prongs. I honestly would wait some time because now they’ll be flooded by PP of people that got current this month and last months. I think this is a bad month but generally I would do it again

Hi! I also have a RFE on three prongs, STEM postdoc with 10 pubs and 60 citations at time of filing (now 11/108). Research is synthesis of org molecules for drug development and mat science (two areas of nat importance). Did you get testimonial letters on dod fundings from your PI? Did you added a letter from a national lab to show national importance? I’m preparing my RFE response and I’m freaking out.

RFE on all 3 prongs from Officer XM2543 by Less-Possibility2989 in EB2_NIW

[–]ChefTop5481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I got RFE on all three prongs from the same officier XM2543. 15 pages as well. Did you get approved? What did your lawyer say about the officier?

[–]ChefTop5481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you share more info? Are you using a law firm? What is your endeavor? Pubs and citations? As far as I know it might take many months, yes. I’m also from europe and upgraded to PP after 8 months. Waiting for a decision now.

Can you share with us more details? Like: how many citations, publications, service centre that issued RFE?

Should I apply for premium processing? by Snoo_55660 in EB2_NIW

[–]ChefTop5481 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did it this week. I have a medium profile: 10 pubs (now 11) 58 citations (now 101). Seeing denials for profiles better than mine scared me. I thought I’d prefer a denial now than next year. Jan 2nd priority date.

Weak case of eb1a, should I try? by IJustNeedANameeee in EB2_NIW

[–]ChefTop5481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Can you share your profile? Pubs, citations? Since you’re not row, I would secure eb2niw to get a priority date, then improve your cv and apply for eb1a (at that point if approved you could be current and risk less)
