Eb2 Niw
- EB2-NIW questions Hi, I have a few questions on EB2-NIW. 1. Is the I-140 premium processing available for EB2-NIW? 2. After getting I-140, it seems like I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status) will be submitted, and I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization) and I-131 (Applica

- EB2-NIW for Meta I heard a lot of the MEta PERM issue. I am joining in the summer and worried. Has anyone tried to file EB2-NIW while working at Meta? Can you share your experience? For context PhD ML - Title Research scientist. / Papers: few good one/ h-index not good Will I qualify for NIW?
- Anyone here with EB2/NIW? Are there any superhumans here who managed to self sponsor EB2 with NIW? I am really curious what 'exceptional ability' looks like in practice #workvisa #niw
- EB2-NIW for tech Does anyone's know anyone from engineering who got GC through the EB2-NIW? I know it’s mostly for scientist, artists, etc. but anyway! For example, I can provide: - masters degree - salary in my native country, that demonstrate exceptional ability - speeches at international conferences. Is that
- EB2 NIW Self Sponsored Green Card This is not legal advice… but I’ve noticed a lot of posts around needing sponsorship to stay in the US or whatnot. But have you all heard of the EB2 NIW visa sponsorship program? It can take up to a year to get sorted out, but if you work for a tech company then you probably qualify since you just
- Why EB1 when you can EB2 NIW? For extraordinary category, who in the right mind would go for EB1 when it is backlogged and EB2 is current? The requirements for NIW is exactly the same as EB1 so USCIS may as well merge them. Why are they 2 separate categories in the first place?
- Should I move or wait for EB2 NIW approval Hi All, The company recently applied for my EB2 NIW. The recipt date is mid June 2021. Don't see any updates yet on status. NIW still not eligible for PP. Is it worth waiting to see if I get approved and then leave with a priority date? Or since its been hardly any time since application. Its be

- Eb2 or eb3 for non-indian non-chinese I’m from ROW, and I can start my PERM now. I am not Indian/Chinese. I have a US master’s degree with 0 yoe, so I can go either eb2 or eb3. (Not NIW. I have to do PERM) Is there a significant processing time difference between the two? Or are they the same for people like me, from ROW?
- I485 Case transfer to another office twice I filed EB2-NIW back to Nov 2017 and my I485 was transferred to another office about 50 days ago but two days ago it said case transferred to another office again. What does that mean? Anyone has similar experiences? Thanks
