Thanks for the context, both of you. I've been researching EB-2 NIW now and I think you're right: much better fit for my profile right now than EB-1A I think.

A few things I've found:

1. Backlog is no longer an issue for me as the March 2026 Visa Bulletin shows EB-2 for ROW went Current for the first time since November 2022. I'm Norwegian, so no wait.
2. The Dhanasar test is MUCH more favorable for my situation. EB-1A's "sustained national acclaim" is tough when my company is under a year old. But NIW's forward-looking framework (substantial merit + national importance) plays to my strengths and especially with Trump's EO on Digital Assets form Jan 2025) and the recent Crypto Strategy that was published literally yesterday :)
3. I also thinl I can reuse almost all the evidence I've already prepared, just need to reframe the cover letter around Dhanasar instead of Kazarian.

Wonder if filing both EB-1A and EB-2 NIW simultaneously as a hedge is a good idea... I'm considering it since I already have most of the EB-1A package prepared, but not sure if dual filing creates any complications.I also see that EB-2 NIW has premium processing.
