My I140 (NIW) was approved at VSC in 10 days: RD 04/19/2005 AD 04/28/2005 I also heard from two of my friends who had their NIW-I140 approved recently at VSC in two weeks. It seems VSC is really going to be fast. Thanks to those who helped me and those who shared their experience in...

Is seems that PS (personal statement) has not been extensively discussed in this forum. Anyone can share any experience on PS? Specifically, how long should it be, what content should it include, etc. ? Thanks a lot.

Dear farhome: Your petition for permenant residency under the NIW category was approved. We approved your petition based on the following facts. (1) You hold a bachelor degree and have one month's experience in posting threads, thus satisfying the "members of the professions holding...

thanks Honkman, Thanks. I will follow your suggestions. - farhome

It is now widely known that for NIW application, the recommendation letters from outer circle (independent experts who have not worked with you) are very important. I then have a question: If a professor, who never meets me, states in his letter that he is very familar with my adivsor...

thanks honkman and unitednations, Thanks for sharing your opnions. BTW, unitednations, does CPA mean "Certified Public Accountant"?

honkman, thanks. I have alread read the many AAO decisions from the website you mentioned and the statement "Eligibility must be established as of the filing date of the visa petition" is indeed from one of the case decision. By your post, do you mean that, CIS will not take the evidences...

In some of previous threads ( http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=142018&highlight=filing+date), people here talked about the evidences after the filing date. For example: tsc103103 said "Usually CIS claims that they will look at evidence for any of the clauses which you...

trojanblue and gerd35, Thanks for sharing your opinions. I agree with trojanblue since there is difference between conferences and it then reflects impact. I'll then list all the publications and basically do the same way as gerd35. Good luck to us all.

NIW tracker So the only way is to monitor the process date by ourselves. If we report all our NIW cases here in one consolidated thread and make a table/figure, then we can approximately know what's the current process date. Collectively, we can do it. Note the subforum "Vermont...

stop Please STOP personal attack. People come to this forum to seek help or provide help, rather than attack each other. :) I believe most people in this forum know that honkman, along with other experts, are always there to provide help. I really appreciate their efforts. :( And...

Come on, you are right that our goal is to get GC approved, but there is nothing wrong with searching good attorneys. As discussed many times in this forum, at current stage, I tend to belive that "let us do our work and let the attorneys do their work, such that a case can be approved with...

Dear honkman, I sincerely appreciate your immediate reply/help. (I just went out to cook my lunch and then found your answer when I returned:) - farhome

follow on questions about citations Based on honkman's statements, I've learned: ( :p 1) we can count the citations from conference papers ( :p 2) the papers (cited by others) are not limited to first-author ones. ( :p 3) "cite with discussions" is stronger than "cite only" I have...
