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 claim, as of the date on which you applied"
GoFast said "What happened after the filing date would take no use for an adjustification by USCIS."
I recently read the AAO decisions from USCIS website and did found the decision statement (in a Jan2003 case decision) like "The petitioner has not provided any first hand empirical evidence that this article or her work had already attracted significant attention from the scientific community at the time of filling the petition. Eligibility must be established as of the filing date of the visa petition. Matter of Katigback, 14 I&N Dec. 45 (Reg. Comm. 1971)"
If it is true that "Eligibility must be established as of the filing date of the visa petition", then we must be very careful to chose our best filing date such that we have collected the most persuasive evidence. I also guess this is a concern of a lot of NIW petioners.
Any guru's comments on this? Many thanks.
