Hi, Gurus in this forum, My I-485 is pending at NSC currently, and I plan to finish my PhD by June, 2004. (Yes, I am one of a few lucky ones who go NIW 140 approval while pursuing a PhD). I plan to go ahead and look for jobs—possibly in another service center region, such as Virginia or...

Hi, Guys, My NIW was approved in 2002 at NSC. I filed for I-485 in 8/2002 as soon as concurrent filing was allowed. I was a PhD candidate back then, but now I am about to graduate. The official 485 processing time at NSC is 9/2001, however, some people with RD of May, 2002 have got...

Hi, Guys, My NIW was approved in 2002 at NSC. I filed for I-485 in 8/2002 as soon as concurrent filing was allowed. I was a PhD candidate back then, but now I am about to graduate. The 485 thing really vexes me (though I am not the only one worrying about that, I see bunch of Nobel-bound...

I've written to congressman, senators Hi, I've just written letters and send them together with the petition letters to my congressman, two state senators. I think it takes collaborative actions to expedite this slow process, Fellows, please don't think that it is irrelevant to you,and...

RFE response Hello, It is scary to see NSC generating RFEs to NIW and EA cases. I similarly applied for NIW by myself, got I-140 approval in Nov, 2001, and submitted 485 in Aug, 2002. It seems NSC is issuing REFs to both NIW and EA cases. I am sure there are many...

Notarial BC HI, The birth certificate I have at hand is notarial birth certificate obtained from Beijing Notarial office. I noticed that INS seems require that sort of BC be obtained within the last several years, ... and one guy got RFE for submitting such a BC got 10 years ago...

Hi, I turned in my I-485 (including my wife's) based on national interest waiver in 8/2002. Looking at the feedbacks our friends have in this forum, I am kind of worried about my BC which was issued back in 1996. I got that a long time ago (1996) when I first came to the US. Will...

I think you have a shot Hi, I had similar situation with yours... I tried and succeeded...If you think you have a shot, you do. Any reserach related to health issues are very attractive to INS. It all depends on how you can create the link creatively. Man, I am always thinking...

my opinion I think you should get current employment letters indicating the same field as that of you I-140. Write a letter saying you plan to devote your energy to the same/similar field as that continues to be your passion, etc. Get a letter from your boss saying similar things...

55% Hi, I'd say you have 55% chance for NIW. Certainly you can prove you are "excellent", the national impact aspect needs more thinking, I believe.

EB1-OR maybe better Looks to me EB1_OR may be better in your case, since NIW requires the continuation of research...

Thanks Thanks, Gilbert. I notarized documents at our university, so it doesn't cost anything. Best wishes to you all !

Can you check if the final list is complete? Thank you all, especially Gilbert for invaluable advice. Now, I've finished the application, can you kindly help to check if they are complete? I-485 application documents for an asylum seeker: Cover Letter $255 check for...

Form I-693, medical examination needed? Gilbert, I obtained a check list from my local INS office, it says that I-693 is needed......Maybe it does no harm to submit....what do other gurus think? Thanks, Lincoln

Also his wife... Hi, For EB based I-485, all the family members need to file I-485 alltogether. I understand for asylum based 485, this is not the case, right? I've applied for derivative asylum application for my relative's wife who is now in China. The application is still...
