I received my EB-1(a) status in Sept. 2005. The process went VERY fast. (6 weeks from start to finish). However I did receive one letter asking for additional info. I did not have any additional info., if I did have it, I would have sent it in with the first batch. My lawyer sent back a letter bascially saying, that's all there is (and it was alot). I got my next (approval) letter from USCIS a couple weeks later. If you do not have any addtional info., don't sweat it too much.

Thanks for the info. Thats correct one of my friend did the same thing when he got the RFE he just said the same thing again and again in the RFE and got the approval. Another thing is no body will keep any evidence in the first place and second if you got anything after submitting your i140 they just don't consider it. At last its all same and you might be explaining it better in RFE then in the original petition.
 
Situation cannot be compared now becuase , Before 2005, october NIW was very handy(as it can be filled concurrently with 485), EB1 cases were not given much important, there were lot many approval. But things have changed these days..They are very strict. Even most of the lawers do not prefer to file EB1-EA unless they have "more than" enough evidence to show
 
Well then I'm very glad I got my EB-1(a) when I did. However the requirements were the same then, then they are now. I had (have) six of the ten requirements needed for EB-1(a). I guess they just take a harder look now due to the immigration / illegal immigration discussions taking place now.
 
It's true that most of us could provide six out of ten.
Yes, nowadays, they check harder.
Another point of view, we learn, they learn too.
Some evidences they approved before, it's not necessary they will approve that now. For the exactly same statement, you may have very different interpretations. The rules are not changed, but the execution could be totally different. In the large picture, it all depends on the immigration law, we are the ones to fill in the statistics.
 
A quick comment. If you claim six criteria and get approved, it does not mean that you meet the six of them... If three are indeed convincing, it's enough. The USCIS does not tell you on which basis they approved your petition, though they explain why they deny it.

You're correct, they never did say I met all six of the ten. I sent in info. on six of the ten. USCIS says you need at least 3. I have a couple national awards and have been in several national magazines/newspapers, I think those were the major ones that helped.
 
Does anyone know why family based green card holders can apply for citizenship after three years, but employement based takes five years?
