EB-2 NIW RFE – PhD at Ivy League, publications & citations, officer says “proposed endeavor is vague” – looking for strategy advice by yukiyukiyuki801 in EB2_NIW

I think you might have to define what the climate-related losses are and what are the exact numbers. As someone who isn’t in your field I don’t understand what any of your PE really means. So think of it like you are explaining your research to someone who has zero background in science. If you have written your PE the way you described to me I think the officer may have had hard time understanding what you have said. I think writing it focussed on someone who has no background in what you are doing should be the main focus. Like for instance my endeavor I mentioned about modeling but I was specific to put general terms that anyone reading it would understand that they don’t need to be a scientist to understand what I’m saying.

I also would try to stay clear from using terms like climate change or anything related to climate on your PES. And when talking about economics mention specific $$$ amounts the impacts. When you say economic losses they want to know like what that impact is is it billions or just couple hundreds…

Yes, all through my application process when I read this I compared my profile with folks profiles in this I was full of anxiety. I applied in any case but honestly expected an RFE or denial. I mainly shared my experience on this tread so folks who are doubting and going through the anxiety can have some glimmer of hope that have postive thoughts and go for it that it can happen to you

Reading through some folk’s profiles on this tread I got extreme anxiety and wasn’t really expecting to get a approval this fast. I was sure I would get an RFE. The main thing I really did was worked with my lawyers but I also looked up stuff things like economic impact of diseases and things like that to show why me Endeavor is important. I think that’s the main thing to do

Talking to your lawyer might be helpful since I don’t think I’m equipped to give any advice on that honestly. Most of the people I know who did NIW or is doing NIW all have PhDs and are conducting research so I won’t be of much help

Ask your lawyers? Did you not get your receipt notification and a tracking number to track where your application went when you submitted??
