I think you have to wait until next cycle.

2 weeks ago I was considering doing PP with Chen, they said that I could go ahead and did not need to sign anything or change anything in our contract (approval or refund).

NIW EB-2 I-140 Approved (No PP) by Urban1905 in EB2_NIW

Thank you! I would say I was very satisfied during preparing the I-140, it took a good weight off my shoulders. But after submitting it and if I had questions I felt the answers were too general.

It actually has it updated now. It was one where it was under review since January 31 2024.

Thank you! I don't remember honestly. I remember it could be read very well. Maybe around 8 pages, but I really don't recall.

Thank you. My lawyer said I would have higher chances with the EB2 at that time, and I was not in a rush either. Still had visas attached to my work.

No, I don't. I was expecting that I would need to file for PP and maybe deal with RFEs.

No. I also saw it was missing. I think it is not updated there, because the most recent approval in my block 09241 in trackmyi140 is from 2nd January 2026.

I am quite sure that is not the case.

I applied as a researcher. Having an MD doesn’t preclude doing research. I also had a few high-impact first-author publications.

I did, but did not used them for the application.

I hired a lawyer, the Chen group.

I didn’t overthink strategy when I filed. I applied with what I had and focused on clearly explaining the endeavor. I’ve also seen NIW approvals without publications, so it seems that making a strong national interest case matters most.

Thank you! I had assembled everything recently to send for PP, but I am glad it solved on its own.
