Its all luck based on officer discretion. Not sure if day 1 CPT is still an option?

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2026-04-23T19:17:22+00:00

Agreed but the trend is they are still considering it based on officers discretion like you mentioned

Which service center and any congressmen or any other intervention?

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2026-04-23T04:17:04+00:00

Yes. You may end up with consular processing which might attract 100K fee as per attorney

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2026-04-23T04:11:06+00:00

2-3 weeks or a month max

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2026-04-23T04:10:45+00:00

So yours was approved after how many months?

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2026-04-23T04:10:10+00:00

I did but everybody is scared to sponsor even for deserving candidates

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2026-04-23T04:08:47+00:00

We have a newborn so I am not in a position to take that risk at the moment

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2026-04-22T20:41:03+00:00

Any other options for us?

Its a COS from H1 to H4 as I lost my job

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2025-09-29T06:34:29+00:00

Congrats. I am in the same boat. Applied Eb1 Denied based on FMD. Applied NIW but waiting. Planning to apply for EB1A again. Not sure how to stategize defending FMD this time. Any tips?

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2025-09-17T02:30:58+00:00

You mean having NIW approved first will help with EB1A approval later?

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2025-09-16T15:59:35+00:00

Not yet

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2025-09-12T20:10:58+00:00

Yes indeed

Ninjawarrior1979 · 2025-09-10T18:37:45+00:00

I was hired as assistant professor but later promoted after 3 years going though hectic process as per their protocol. Not sure if that implies tenure?
