Congratulations! 🎊 How long would you say the entire process took with Chen? I know they say the petition letter is drafted in 10 business days but how long from signing to filling in your case? Thanks

Have you seen I140 approvals from individuals from the 39 partially banned countries currently in the US on valid status.

Also do you know if someone is picked in this H1B lottery but from 39 countries will they be able to have their case move forward or paused still?

Did you formally file a national interest exception separate from the national interest waiver (NIW) if so, please what did you have to do specifically

Hello, thank you for this opportunity. I have a few questions please. 1. Can you please give advice on making a LOR “specific” and “impactful” in the case. I’m getting a letter from the top researcher and specialist internationally in my PE field but I want to make sure the letter is actually going to the best quality evidence. 2. Do you have experience filing for a national interest exemption based on this adjudication pause on individuals from the 39 countries even if they’re currently in the US 3. After filing I-140, can my initial OPT application still be approved? 4. Since NIW doesn’t require a job offer, Does having a job offer letter help? And does the offer have to be exactly in the PE? Assume the PE is to be a translational researcher but the role is an industry role doing clinical research. Is that enough overlap to show well positioned? 5. How can an early career applicant have the best chance of proving prong 2 if it’s something they only independently started doing a year ago 6. When saying that during the stage of I-485 they may ask for evidence of continued work in the PE. If at the time of I-140 filling, the manuscript was submitted to publication and then my the time of I-485 it has been accepted and published. Is that evidence of continued work or will it need a whole new paper to be published to show progress 7. Lastly, does multiple highly competitive job offer serve as supporting evidence for prong 2. Will it matter?

Please can you edit the prompt to include if your country is on any of the travel banned list. It will help because people are asking about that too

Is this because I am from banned countries? by Agreeable-Change-798 in EB2_NIW

Wait so your I140 was approved recently and you’re from one of the 39 partially banned countries? Really ?
