    EA/NIW rejected

    approval or not? hello, BCIS had been considering my response to RFE for my EA application. Yesterday I got 4 copies of the following e-mail from BCIS. "On April 6, 2005, the document we made based on the approval or registration of this case was mailed directly to the person to whom...

    RFE...Please help with your kind inputs

    use citations, papers, and the info about the journals to establish that you have made extraordinary contributions. In sum, according to what you write, the info you tell us may qualify you in at most two categories, even if BCIS agrees with you on (5) and (6). I strongly suggest that you...

    DIFFERENCE in MTR & APPEAL

    It has been more than 100 days that i filed my appeal for 140NIW; still they have not forwarded it to AAU. I called them; I was told that they could do whatever they wanted to do with it, and i could not do shit about it.

    Anyone in my situation?

    in the first RFE, they forgot to send the correct attachment. The second one was on every criteria I claimed. basically, it was written in such a way as if I don't satisfy any of the criteria, so they were asking for more info in each category. one of the things that appeared strange to me was...

    Anyone in my situation?

    probably it is due to your inquiry. they may send you a notice saying that they need more time. At the same time, this may speed up processing. you didn't write qualifications, but you may get an RFE, denial, or approval soon. mine was submitted a month later than yours; it got double RFE...

    EA/NIW rejected

    gurus, please suggest me some ideas on this. here is the summary: I had filed 140 in two categories: NIW & EA. After NIW was rejected, I filed an appeal in sep04, and it has been in CSC for almost 3 months now. EA was RFEd, and I sent in the information in oct, still pending. But...

    EA/NIW rejected

    No lawyer, No kits. However, I feel that a good lawyer may have helped although I still would have done most of the work. Being represented by a lawyer would have effected the INS officer, I guess. The thing is I consulted some lawyers through e-mail at first; and they were not giving...

    EA/NIW rejected

    I called and asked them whether they transfered my appeal to AAO, but I was told that it is taking 30-150 days to process it. On the other hand, the BCIS webpage writes I can call them to learn whether it is transfered or not. I am not very hopeful especially after they also declined my EA...

    EA/NIW rejected

    I think i did a pretty decent job in RFE, but maybe a 15 page explanation with all the supporting evidence was too much to handle. I don't know.

    That's good. First author, decent journals? all of them first author. top international journals and conferences. Quote: about 20 citations, Seems low. Is that common in your field? that's common in engineering. Quote: tens of review, Invited, not passed down? all of them...

    EA/NIW rejected

    Joo, NIW was denied in august. It is the usual third prong. I sent in the appeal in september. I still don't know what's going on with it. It is almost three months. I don't even know whether they sent it to AAO. As for EA, I have not received the decline letter yet; so I don't know its...

    EA/NIW rejected

    folks, thanks for your suggestions. more info: petitions filed at CSC. about 20papers, about 20 citations, tens of review, 3 session chair, about 10 letters, NSF award. I have not got the 140 rejection letter yet. I only got 485 letter. Can I appeal, and at the same time submit a new...

    EA/NIW rejected

    Hello, my EA/NIW petitions and 485 rejected. I was on H1-B (which was valid till 2006) when I did the petitions and switched to another employer and have been using EAD after I filed 485. Now that the underlying 140s have been rejected what are my options to be legal in the country? can i...

    unfortunately, no. because I have never investigated LC.

    NIW-140 rejected! Should I appeal?

    unfortunately, I don't have much info about the LC myself. However, since your employer is willing to sponsor it, it is a big thing. Most employers would not, saying that your job is not permanent. Based on my experience, if you don't have papers, patents, etc. it would be almost...

    NIW-140 rejected! Should I appeal?

    I think that's exactly what I will do, i.e., appeal for the fun of it. I am not going to get help from a lawyer, I don't have that much money. the filing fee is 110USD. I got the decline letter 20 days after the notice date, which leaves me less than 10 days to reply. even that is stinking...

    NIW-140 rejected! Should I appeal?

    Hadron, again the problem is that the employer did not want to support LC. INS writes... ...In fact the petitioner must show that by not being given immigrant status the national interest would actualy be harmed. THe petitioner has failed to establish that such harm to the national interest...

    NIW-140 rejected! Should I appeal?

    Hadron, Can I immediately file another NIW immediately if I start a new job, say two months from now? Or, if I appeal, that will exclude me from filing a new NIW before the issue is resolved, right? Does it make sense to write in an appeal that I plan to leave this job and for that reason...

    NIW-140 rejected! Should I appeal?

    Hadron, I prepared the reply myself. The RFE seemed to be a generic response requesting documentation about the 3 items of NIW. The only part they seemed to be complaining about was many of the supporting letters appear to be from associates, professors in the petitioner's field and are...
