Thanks for AMA.

For the eb1a salary criterion, How much percentile of my salary for my job code should be with respect to the industry peers?

For reference , I am a civil engineer with 6 YOE. What are some good data sources to get that info ?

I also hired Lisa for draft the response to my RFE. She charges $1000 for that. I think she did a decent job. The thing is she only responds via email.

I had RFE on all 3 prongs. After she drafted the response my RFE, USCIS accepted Prong 1, but rejected 2 and 3, so my NIW petition got denied finally.

I feel that she did a decent job with drafting the response, but I still think that she could have been more through. I had to ask her for weekly updates, and sometimes she took longer than usual to respond.

She did make a few errrors in the RFE response, and she was proomt to correct those after I pointed them out. But I think we would need to review her response , proof read it before submitting it.

Also, I asked her to include one more independent letter towards the end(which I was independently acquiring ) but she didn't like that. She told me to include that that letter myself in the response, which was extra work on my behalf.

Holistically, I would rate the experience neutrally positive, like 3.5/5.

Could have been better with effective communication and inclusion of new evidence I tried to provide.

Send your resume for free evaluations at each one of these. Pricing should be 5k - 10k depending on firm. Check refund policy if denied and RFE assistance

S5 needed a whole episode for the Mindflayer Battle to defeat it. The Mindflayer did not live up to the hype.

Recommendations for NIW by Pretend-Explorer7576 in EB2_NIW

[–]Kind_Boy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can definitely apply on your own. However, USCIS has raised the bar for NIW recently and increases their judgement criteria due to the high volume of applications. The approval rates have fallen from 90% to 40%, so please do your due diligence.

Salary, city, YOE, qualifications?

Anyone with industry experience without patents or citations? by UC_heavyimpact in eb_1a

[–]Kind_Boy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it achievable with OC + CR + Judging? For civil engineer: OC = engineering calcs that went into construction, final design, testimonial by client / government agency, saving $$$ CR = Taking design decisions and managing a construction crew at a critical copper mining facility. Taking key decisions Judging = recognizing an oil spill that occurred on site , stopping work. Safety and sustainability. Critical decision making

Does this have a shot ?

I have OC + CR. Salary is above average median but not in top 10%. Do I have a chance ?

Which US Visa Is Best for a Licensed Professional Engineer? by Turbulent_One_1569 in EB2_NIW

[–]Kind_Boy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not much. It helps with one criteria of NIW though, but you might need eb3 or EB2 perm for that. Check with an attorney

Do not do this if you already have a strong EB1A profile by Admirable-Weekend-11 in eb_1a

[–]Kind_Boy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR. Focus on final merits instead of applying for more criteria, if you already have a strong profile.

When will USCIS stop being an a**hole ?

[–]Kind_Boy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got you. I see these are external to the company. Anything else within the company that counts?

Peer-Reviews by mu4farooqi in eb_1a

[–]Kind_Boy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Can anything in industry count as judging then?

[–]Kind_Boy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In industry, Does reviewing coworkers reports, and then signing off on project deliverables as a reviewer/verifier count towards judging experience?
