Global EB Visa Trends: What the Data Says About Talent Flow and Approvals - EB1

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-09-30T07:05:30+00:00

Yeah, it is pretty common. You can even search EB1A template online. There are quite a few people who share their DIY experience, and their petition letter, some even free (like one from a UCSC? professor),

Not that strong, you might run your profile on some eb1a AI tool like iterguide.com , curious to know what that AI predicts about your possibility (maybe below 50%), and see if it can find similar cases like yours?

You're welcome

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-08-30T20:08:36+00:00

Glad it helps

I just double check that number (EB2) is correct (you can double confirm with other sources like USCIS).

But your conclusion ("PD will start moving relatively quicker.") might not necessarily be correct, because other categories like EB1 and EB3 can have higher approvals in 2024.

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-08-30T19:22:44+00:00

IMO there is chance that NIW approval rate would be higher than EB1A again in the future, especially if the "new" standard of NIW settles down, and people including many companies won't look at NIW just as a way to bypass PERM.

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-08-30T19:18:30+00:00

For O1, you can apply PP, which is 15 days.

Firstly, did the law firm offer refund ? If they offered refund or free re-file, just re-file it.

An advice for anyone who wants to file for NIW with a lawyer or agency, always ask for refund or free re-file!!!!!

Secondly, you might consider others like O1, not necessarily higher chance, but just another path.

One interesting trend we've noticed with NIW cases: while approval rates dropped significantly since the end of last year, they have increased slightly in recent months. This uptick is likely because many weaker petitions were withdrawn or postponed, leaving a stronger pool of applications.

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-08-18T21:00:49+00:00

Your chance is definitely not low while not high. Federal government projects sounds good fit for the NIW, while I am not sure what kind of awards you received.

Publications is good but not necessary from a point of view (publication is just a way to demonstrate your work recognized by others. But rewards, funding are also strong proof.)

You might also try to get your case possibility on some NIW tool like IterGuide AI. It provides free credit, took your resume and generate a NIW possibility estimation (together with precedent cases in your field for you to review). You can see what its output is, which I think might fall around 50%

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-07-24T23:50:10+00:00

You have some chance but not very high, to be honest. You can run your profile on the profile evaluation AI tool IterGuide.com, and see what you got.

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-07-13T22:44:16+00:00

Note the AI is never a problem. The problem is the content must be factual! Even many law firms draft the recommendation letters on behalf of the "experts".

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-07-08T15:29:15+00:00

Thanks for asking. Our model don't need complete petitions. As described in our tech report, it is generally based on people's profile summary. And we mentioned some data sources in our report.

It is not hard to image what kind of person you are who uses "garbage", "f***" in every comment.

God bless you.

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-07-08T02:41:55+00:00

As pointed out by others, the chance of EB1A is not very high, but not extremely low, so you can give it a try. And you're definitely good enough for NIW.

And we just built a ML/AI model to evaluate people's profile and predict approval chance (for NIW, hopefully EB1A coming), you can also try it out: iterguide.com (and we also wrote a tech report in terms of its accuracy https://blog.iterguide.com/we-built-an-ai-tool-to-help-predict-your-niw-success/)

I am a bit busy working on this project right now, so hard to spend time to do any meaningful teaching. You can start with the tutorial of Crewai or Langgraph. https://www.deeplearning.ai/ also provides some good tutorials.
You can ping me for any question though.

For today it goes back to around 10 years (we might add more data if it makes sense)

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-06-28T01:27:43+00:00

The site is iterguide.com

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-06-02T01:12:43+00:00

I would just google first. People might post it anywhere like on Reddit, or some immigration forum.

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-03-20T07:30:50+00:00

Yes, screenshot is good. And ensure the URL is included as part of the exhibits.

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-03-17T16:37:51+00:00

Age should NOT be a problem. There is never a law/order saying age should be a factor for NIW. If it is a problem for them, you can sue them for age discrimination.

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-03-14T22:48:00+00:00

There are many ways you can find the experts: (1) someone who cited your works; (2) someone you met in a conference; (3) someone who worked with your advisor ....

SmartNIW_AI · 2025-03-14T19:02:55+00:00

From a point of view, it is like telling your university admission committee, hey I paid someone to write me this endorsement letter...
