can we file twice for NIW/EB1?

No Title

Yes, but the arguments are supposed to be *substantially* different.
(Your old petition may be pulled from archives to compare.)
 
Thanks, ooa. another question.

What if I file them in different Center? How the INS know these files belong to same person? I have social security number. ty

You have to provide information about your previous petition in the right corner at the bottom of I-140. So they will know. The question is whether they will care... You may get approved, but who knows...

Here is an example on this matter from J.Latour\'s mailing list:

  Case #1: You guys remember last year when I glumly wrote you
  about our first ever NIW denial? Well, Wendy and I pretty much
  re-crafted the entire case, hammering away a little harder at the
  stronger points under the National Interest Waiver parameters.
  The client is a world-class expert on database design and
  implementation and his efforts as a contractor for a federal
  agency have, to date, saved U.S. taxpayers over $100,000,000.
  The case was filed de novo -- meaning as a totally brand new
  filing. (I bet lots of you don\'t know that you can do that. If
  an I-140 gets denied, and there is a factual basis for refiling,
  it is perfectly lawful to do so.) Unlike the absurd first
  adjudication, which wholly disregarded both the facts and the
  law, this second time around the case went to a conscientious INS
  officer, i.e., one who actually read the case. The total time
  from filing to approval was three months.
