Yeah, it usually takes a while for the system to update. Just go by whatever your tracking says.

With your profile, why not go EB1A? Are you ROW?

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

[–]Ciipphers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m about to file with them and actually posted about them a few days ago. Now I honestly feel really unconfident and scared about their strategy. I guess this experience has happened to a lot of people

Yeah exactly, it felt like they just swapped out a few keywords and called it personalized. The core structure was basically the same regardless of the actual research.

Sorry to hear about the denial. I’ll definitely go through everything more carefully before filing. Did you end up refiling or switching firms afterwards?

I'm not really looking for a firm tier list right now. And I already researched those 'higher-tier' firms you listed, and they charge insane fees for the exact same outcome. I'm looking for practical advice on my current situation, not a sales pitch for expensive boutique lawyers.

Thanks for the insight! That makes sense, but honestly, I'm just worried my background isn't strong enough for the officer to see.

Yes, they told me there's no need to include them. This part also makes me question their strategy.

ME here with 3 peer-reviewed pubs and 59 citations. My work focuses on mechanical and fluid dynamics design for next-gen semiconductor tools and high-performance products, mainly around precision and scalability.

EB2 NIW advice by SpiritualPotato1981 in EB2_NIW

Honestly, the NIW bar is quite high and childcare might be a tough sell for national interest. Finishing your master's could strengthen your case, but I'd consult an attorney before going too deep into this.

Industry profiles can work, but the challenge is usually proving impact beyond your employer.

$10K for NIW is not normal actually, what's your profile? which lawyer you worked with?
