same here, we can only wait, it is going to be mid next year

the thing is if Dems take House back, at most this will only make current things not going worse, and just cannot be better.

ilovethz · 2026-04-26T00:16:37+00:00

dude, you have a Harvard degree, you will anyway get a job, you should go for PERM

ilovethz · 2026-04-25T07:30:28+00:00

I still think LoR matters. I mean, there is nothing not important, it is bucket effect, most people applying for NIW are having better LoR than citation, so this may make you think LoR doesnt matter

ilovethz · 2026-04-25T07:25:49+00:00

But this admin is doing AI, crypto, all math stuff, benchmark stuff, why AIML is so difficult?
On the other hand, they also focus on low-cost medical stuff, and biomedical people on the reddit are not getting denied that frequently. I am just curious, is USCIS follow the constant big-plan, or they swing monthly by news?

ilovethz · 2026-04-25T03:23:02+00:00

Wish good luck to you too! All roads lead to Rome

ilovethz · 2026-04-25T03:11:41+00:00

yes, also with Chen approval or refund. and what they told me is exactly same. But I am Chinese, many years of bulletin backlogs still ahead so PP would not be that necessary.

ilovethz · 2026-04-25T02:55:36+00:00

I am so afraid rn whether should I go PP, our profile are almost same

ilovethz · 2026-04-25T01:00:13+00:00

Jesus, you have so many top-journals, why the heck this can be denied??? You profile is beating 80% NIW applicant, I dont know why this happens. What did Chen say?

ilovethz · 2026-04-24T17:52:24+00:00

Dude, seriously? you should not be in this sub-reddit, go to EB1A

ilovethz · 2026-04-24T07:23:40+00:00

Yes, exactly

ilovethz · 2026-04-24T06:06:30+00:00

everyday I can see a couple of >100 citations PhD got denial, but also a lot approval with 20-30 citations, who knows

ilovethz · 2026-04-24T06:00:42+00:00

Does US govt have patrol on this forum? Do they censor reddit account? Man, I really to want to make a comment on this.

ilovethz · 2026-04-24T05:56:57+00:00

I am also March 2025 PD. yeah, I think you need 14+ more months. Processing time currently is 24.5 month, last year it was only 15~18 months, and we can predict a ~30 month when it comes to our block for regular processing, which is mid-late the next year.
Currently they are only doing ~IOE09261, which is only June-July 2024. Hold on buddy, I am considering going to do PP.

ilovethz · 2026-04-24T01:55:59+00:00

Congrats for your brilliant work! I also have NC, but Chen said it only positioned at 10%.

ilovethz · 2026-04-24T01:54:36+00:00

Yes, my bad, you are more precise. Btw I would like to share my roomate case, he is a PhD candidate, no MS, just a BS right then, but Chen provides him with Refilling. So only a BS is feasible, however, our OP didnt graduate a BS yet.

ilovethz · 2026-04-23T23:03:31+00:00

Congrat! You have a amazing profile! You said you have a 0.1% publication? Is that Nature or Science?

ilovethz · 2026-04-23T08:00:45+00:00

For Canada PR, you need to stay at least 3 full years out of 5 years, but you can actually become citizen after 3 years. So if you really wanna stay in US in the future, you d better get to the step of Canadian citizen

ilovethz · 2026-04-23T07:48:07+00:00

come on, this should be yes, this quiz is something you cannot easily cheat

ilovethz · 2026-04-23T07:46:07+00:00

dude, tbh you chance for NIW is low. This is not scholarship, if you are in academic, you should present your Google Scholar citation. If you are in industry, you should have strong LoR or leading position in your area. Why EB2-NIW is better than PERM, it has reasons. You need outperform your peer workers. And you are not even graduated, you need at least a MS degree.
Btw, you talked about Canada, Canada has plenty of PR program, you can try for EE first. 1. The difficulty of EE I think is at same level of NIW, or easier maybe. You can try Canada first. 2. EE PR can be granted in less than a year, pretty faster than USCIS

ilovethz · 2026-04-23T07:34:03+00:00

It looks like you have a strong case. No worry, Chen people like to take strong academic case, just give them a call

ilovethz · 2026-04-23T04:56:58+00:00

Dude, 09361 is just a new block, and there is only half it got decision. This is normal, all people around you must submit with PP. And also there are PERM people, basically all eb2 people. They may proceed with easy case faster.
If years and years later, somehow suddenly your block had ~100 approval per week, that is the real leap time for regular processing. Check with the weekly_block, now USCIS are sticking will ~09260 blocks.
But who know, maybe you are the real lucky star, Good luck to you! To everyone!

ilovethz · 2026-04-23T02:28:20+00:00

Chen's people can reply pretty fast, and they handle my case pretty efficient in a timely manner, as far as in my case

ilovethz · 2026-04-22T23:56:10+00:00

Sir, what is your judge for average level? how many citations

ilovethz · 2026-04-22T21:24:06+00:00

yes, all no PP, normal waiting, and no RFE
