Adnman: Well done with doing the evaluation. Standard delivery will mess you up if your delivery address isn't a US address and it may never arrive (mine did not arrive till date, since June 2022). I suggest you re-order the report using a US address and Standard delivery or pay the courier fees, which is of course higher and deliver outside the US with ease. Best wishes. 1 Like |

adedammy009: Thanks a lot. Initially someone told me that WES send electronic copy, so I decided to go for the standard delivery method, not knowing that the electronic copy is unofficial. I will re-order the report using the US address (with help of a friend), as suggested. Thanks once again. |

Friends, Do you have any idea on when PD date of November 14 for EBE-2 NIW category may become current. It appears it might be a long ride |
Re: USA Employment-based Immigration (EB-1,EB-2,EB-3 Visa) by adedammy009: 11:38pm On Feb 12 |
mechango:Guess you mean Nov 14, 2023. Well, just to give an estimate...don't hold me by my words, only NVC knows better. By next VB (April 2024), it should move up to 3 months - Feb 21, 2023 (new quarter, as it looks like NVC allows more movement of the dates quaterly). Then a week movement each for May to June 2024 VB (let assume a month movement, which takes the date to March 21, 2023. Then July 2024 VB, we anticipate 3 months movement again, which can take the date to June 2023....then the trend continues |

Hello all. Greetings… first time here. I need a little clarification with the EB2 notice of action letter (approval) that we got (hubby is the petitioner, I’m a derivative beneficiary) It says “the petition has been approved. The petition indicates that the person for who whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status” Then the part that shows consulate has “NVC” The concern here is, we didn’t indicate that we were in the US. We indicated consular processing. So it’s confusing why the letter says otherwise. And we still haven’t gotten any welcome email from NVC. Priority date is 4th Jan 2024. Is there anyone that is also filing from Nigeria with this kind of letter? Cos we checked online and saw that those doing consular processing has a different worded letter. Someone please help 🙏🏼 |

I am not absolutely sure about this. In which country are you doing your PhD? But I think you should add it, especially if your petition is research/academic based. You might have presented parts of your research and/or written/submitted Manuscripts (even if not yet accepted/published), which will help to prove your case. My friend is doing his PhD in the US and included it in his petition. It can also help to show that you are active in your field. Especially if not doing any other job koreanlord: |

koreanlord: I agree with Olig’s response to you. “ USCIS may grant a national interest waiver as a matter of discretion if the petitioner demonstrates eligibility by a preponderance of the evidence” The above is quoted from the EB2NIW policy manual, this should be your guide. There is nothing like too much of evidence with USCIS. The fact that you’re in a PHD program (and yes, you need to include the evidence) is one of the reasons to show that you’re academically well positioned to carry out your proposed endeavor (2nd prong), you can also use that to make a case in the 3rd prong that you have a unique educational background/knowledge that may not be highlighted if you were to go through the labor certification process where only the minimum qualifications are required. Include as much evidence as you can that can help your case! 1 Like |

hustla: Hi, just thought to let you know that generally, with EB2, you can do the minimum membership requirements for any professional society you belong. I’m not sure what this computer society membership you were asking about entails though. But if with the £25 option, you can get some sort of proof of membership, you might want to go with that. 1 Like 1 Share |

unibadan: What is your proposed endeavor to start with. Data science, statistics and analytics cuts across almost every field you can think of, especially finance!. There’s a lot of analyzing and making data driven decisions in finance. Just look for a way to phrase your proposed endeavor and petition letter in a way that it makes your degrees and work experience align. See attached pic 1 Like

AIT1: Hi, apologies for the late response! I’m not really sure where I come in here. I’m afraid that I’m unable to provide a recommendation at this time for personal reasons. Note: I don’t know who sold this idea of independent recommenders to people. All my recommenders were people that I had a professional (academic/work-related) relationship with. |

Hello everyone, Please, what is the recommended method of paying the I-140 filing fee outside the U.S.? I have tried to contact the U.S. embassy in the country where I live now, as USCIS advised, but they are not responding. Those who filed from Nigeria, how did you make your payment? Can someone do it for you in the U.S. using a personal check or money order? And please kindly tell me which of the USCIS addresses is used when sending documents from outside the U.S.? Thanks |

AIT1: Hmmm, this is a dicey question that comes up often. I am not certain that USCIS does any follow up or keep tabs on an applicant’s professional track post green-card approval. And the likelihood that a person who has satisfied all the immediate requirements of the NIW (and met all the required professional qualifications) will become dependent on public funds and not contribute to the economic growth of the US is very slim. Here’s what I usually advise people, while filling the I-140 form, pick a broader category as your SOC Code, here: https://www.bls.gov/soc/2018/major_groups.htm For example; In my case, my proposed endeavor and occupation had to do with working as an Infectious Disease Epidemiologist, there is a specific occupation code for Epidemiologists on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website, but I did not choose that, I went for the broader category occupational code for medical scientists (which covers for epidemiologists, physicians, pathologists etc doing research related work). That way, I am not boxing myself up into a narrow field or just my immediate proposed endeavor. Should I decide to spread my tentacles and do other things with my career in the near or far future, I should be good to go!. NOTE: Please try to maintain the same profession AT LEAST till you get your greencard, I watched a video on YouTube where a guy mentioned that the USCIS interviewing officer noted this and gave him kudos for still maintaining the same profession as his proposed endeavor while conducting his greencard interview. I hope this is helpful, Goodluck!😊 1 Like |
