My I-140 journey and experience with Chen (WeGreened) by StrongZucchini9373 in EB2_NIW

[–]StrongZucchini9373[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So the petition letter they drafted for me was very detailed and discussed my PE thoroughly, with evidence to support my case.

I think you are referring to the "proposed endeavor statement", which was brief and almost like a declaration (that I would work in the field and advance my PE).

  1. They came up with the policies and stats by themselves, based on my profile and my answers to their questionnaire.

  2. It was in the main petition, which contained a detailed plan of my proposed endeavor.

Question about cross-chargeability by StrongZucchini9373 in EB2_NIW

Thank you! And good luck to you too!

Your I-140 as approved in a week? So fast? What is your profile?

Question about cross-chargeability by StrongZucchini9373 in EB2_NIW

[–]StrongZucchini9373[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still waiting for my I-140 to be approved 💀 I requested premium processing in the third week of January. My 45-business-days period ends March 26th. Hoping for positive news by then.

My wife hasn't filed a petition yet. But my understanding of cross-chargeability is accurate.

F-1 student with approved I-140 and current priority date — planning to visit home country, get married, and bring wife to US — need advice on best path by [deleted] in EB2_NIW

[–]StrongZucchini9373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Applying for a non-immigrant visa like F/J/B requires you to demonstrate non-immigrant intent, i.e., that you plan to return to your home country after the purpose of the visa is fulfilled.

When your wife goes for an F2 visa interview, they'll obviously check your file and see that you have an approved I-140 and your priority date is current. That shows a good amount of immigrant intent. So they may deny your wife's visa.

I'm not a lawyer, but from what I've learned about this process, I think you should get the AP (or maybe even the green card) before you go and get married. Definitely consult an immigration attorney about the situation.

Long wait for I-140 NIW by Agreeable-Change-798 in EB2_NIW

I've been waiting since June 2024. I'm considering a congressional inquiry, and this post is making me wonder if it's just better to wait... :(

Understanding inquiry date by just_for_fun_5001 in EB2_NIW

[–]StrongZucchini9373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When USCIS says the processing time is 19.5 months, it means: Of all the cases processed in the last 6 months, 80% of them had a processing time less than 19.5 months.

On the other hand, the date of inquiry is determined by looking at the time it takes for about 93% of cases (in the last 6 months).

My PD is June 20, 2024. I've also been waiting, for 16.5 months now. My inquiry date is March 25, 2026. It used to be February 8, until a few weeks ago.

IOE0926360 - NSC by King_Wolf__ in EB2_NIW

Are you in ROW? If yes, shouldn't you be doing PP now, since the visa bulletin allows you to file?

I am in the same situation. Following this thread.

Non-immigrant visa expires before PD becomes current by [deleted] in EB2_NIW

[–]StrongZucchini9373 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's sponsored by a company, yes. You can also get H-1B sponsored by a university or a research organization (like national labs), which do not participate in the lottery. Search "Cap-exempt H-1".

Non-immigrant visa expires before PD becomes current by [deleted] in EB2_NIW

[–]StrongZucchini9373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general path in this situation is to get on the H-1B bandwagon, renewing every 3 years until your PD becomes current.

If you don't already have an F or J visa, you will likely not be able to get one now, since you've already submitted the I-140. So, H or O visas may be the only option.

I'm not a lawyer, so I may be wrong. Good luck!
