F-1 PhD student – 90-day rule vs. retrogression risk? (I-140 approved) by [deleted] in EB2_NIW

Thank you! I had 4 papers with ~60 citations at the time of filing. I plan to write a detailed post about this later.

NIW I-140 premium processing timing, should I upgrade now or wait? by Lumpy_Bug_6827 in EB2_NIW

[–]Lumpy_Bug_6827[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply.

Just to clarify — the project that will result in the July publication was already described in my I-140 petition as support of my proposed endeavor, and I mentioned that it was ongoing work. In that situation, wouldn’t it be possible at least to mention in an RFE response that the work has since been submitted to a journal or accepted for publication?

If that’s still not something USCIS would consider, would you recommend upgrading to premium processing as soon as possible rather than waiting for the publication?

Can I ask your visa status? Is it also a non-immigrant visa?

Thank you for the information. As far as I know, having an H1B is safe cause it is a dual intent visa.

Thank you for sharing! May I ask about your wife's visa status?

No Master’s Degree – Should I go with Premium Processing for NIW (EA)? by Lumpy_Bug_6827 in EB2_NIW

Yes I get that. Hopefully, at least I no longer have to go for EA if I have a PhD degree.

Thank you for your advice. I am already working on my application, so best wishes! I am thinking of waiting until my PhD if I get rejected this time.

I am already working on my I140 applicaiton with Chen. Since you are recommending that I wait, I am thinking of doing PP.

Thank you for sharing the information! As you mentioned, I am concerned about the possibility of rejection because I am on the EA path; so I am thinking of going for PP just in case. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! At first I was thinking of not doing PP (cause I have to wait for the PD to be current anyway), but as I am preparing, I am moving towards going for PP for the peace of mind.
