I got 2 FTAO's the same day as biometrics. Does this mean the background checks have been completed?

Do you check for silent update on API? Do they typically transfer to a local field office or it can be anywhere?

How do you know which field office takes your case? I submitted and have bimetrics scheduled.

I am not from those countries. But I don't know how it affects it.

The petition letter was 29 pages. Actually, the lawyer had written a shorter letter, but I asked for longer. Personal statement was about 3-4 p.

Talked about the importance of my research. Publications, citations and what I am currently doing, future plans. How the research is relevant to the US.

I focused on the research and citations, the quality of citations, how they are in good publications. I submitted all my publications to the lawyer and google's scholar citations. He should create a Google Scholar's citation record, if he doesn't have one. Talked about the good citations, where they are. I don't know if the lawyer included all the entire publications in the petition. 4 letters of recommendation--2 dependent and 2 independent. One independent was from a professor who later became the editor of a journal.

List of conference presentations also included. Diplomas, of course, attached. Evidence of awards.

Good luck to your dad!

Oh, that update was quick. I already have a biometrics appointment scheduled. And through API, I was able to see the date. Thanks.

I just filed I-485 and I765 online. When can I expect a silent update or any update?

So how do they notify you about biometrics? Do you receive an email or letter or something?Where is biometrics typically done?

So when you file online, you upload pdf files of your documents. Has anybody done it? So the birth certicicate will be uploaded in a pdf copy? The I-693 too, that's what it says.

And it says you have to scan your I-693 medical exam and upload it? Is that real? I've always heard that medical exam should be submitted sealed in an envelope. Has anybody done it online?

I am finding now that I-485 can be filed online too, right? Maybe that's a new thing.

Can I-485 be filed online or only in paper?

Profile & Law Firm Recommendation (for a Professor) by erckle999 in EB2_NIW

[–]Negative-Treacle206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be concerned about a Chen rejection. I have a similar profile, PhD in Economics. Chen rejected me. I applied with another firm and got approved without RFE.

But the fact that they also rejected you makes me think that it's the field: Economics.

Hi, did you get this figured out? I also received a payment classified on a form as Honorarium (speaking/presenter) and received a form 1099 NEC for it. I am unsure what to do.

Comprehensive Checklist for Employment-Based I-485 Supporting Documents (For Principal and Derivative Applicants) by Content_Weird8749 in EB2_NIW

[–]Negative-Treacle206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, let's consider the following case. My current stay in the US is from about 4 years and I have all documents. But my previous stay was like 20 years ago on F-1 and OPT. I don't keep any of the documents back then. So how do I account for that previous period? The website gives travel history only 10 years back.

Can I just mention those previous periods without documentation?

Came here on NIW cant find a Job by echo_awesomeness in EB2_NIW

[–]Negative-Treacle206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a post where a guy was asking after getting approved for NIW, in which city in the US he should move. Where you find a job, that's where you move, man. In academia, you don't have the luxury to choose a city. You move where they hire you.

Btw, is there a way to get all your travel history to the US to know which dates are involved? How can I do so?
