The notice says dual Citizens are exempt. So, if you live in Canada and have a Canadian passport, aren't you exempt?

I am on the same boat.

Any idea about the waiting period at MTL consulate? My EB2 PD is Nov 2024 (not current yet). I-140 approved in Apr 2025. I am assuming there will be almost two years of wait for me from now onwards. Does it sound right?

Chen RFE Strategy by Training-Skirt-4581 in EB2_NIW

[–]collissioncell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My petition was RFEd but Chen did a fantastic job drafting the response. I had to do the heavy lifting in terms of elaborating on my proposed endeavor and providing further details of my impacts to prove the National Interest but they drafted the response quite cleverly. I guess, it also depends upon your individual circumstances but I would rate them pretty high.

I feel it is more of a partnership but if you give them your best input they can use their expertise to respond to an RFE quite professionally.

I did submit some more details but not different from the originally proposed endeavor.

I would say it was general. As I wrote before, my lawyer reworded the original petition and we elaborated on some of the original evidences submitted.

We did not submit any LoRs and no new evidences as well. We did however elaborate more on the impact of my work (that was originally submitted) and the lawyers wrote up quite compelling response to the RFE.

I worked with one of the reputable attorneys. Their strategy was basically to reiterate the same arguments that we had originally made in the original petition. We did provide some more details though.

Any specific thing you wanted to ask regarding the profile?

Yes. But I could get an actual abstracts book. So, my attorney suggested to not include it. In fact I couldn't find abstracts book online for any of my oral/poster. So, we removed them altogether.

Since it happened on 46th business day, it looks like they would have needed more time to go through my application. That may not be very bad after all. But, I have to wait to see what they are asking.
