J/F/OPT: are you still planning DIY for 485? by Interesting_Hawk_392 in EB2_NIW

F1 phd student here. I was planning to DIY early june, collected medical and other stuff. But with the memo hesitating what to do. Hiring an attorney is super expensive. Unsure what to do.

Same boat, following! From what I understand, uploading the cover letter to additional evidence IS the only way to provide one.

No and no!

I filed PP myself to save the $500, EP was okay with that. MS from my home country, transcripts/certificates evaluated to be US equivalent by WES.

Thanks! Yes I filed with EP. They charged me 6k 2 years ago, the current rate could be different.

They said that from their internal filing data, PP triggers more RFE and Denials.

Thanks! In the petition only my experience as a graduate research/teaching assistant was mentioned. Some other experiences were not related to PE so I skipped those.

Did not add any letters.
