I applied in the EB-1 NIW category. I just want to give hope to those who might need it right now. Here are my statistics

Ph.D. in Microbiology. Currently a Post-Doc. Not from a retrogressed country
Only 2 publications and 6 manuscripts in preparation. 7 citations
12 conference presentations- talks/posters
6 invited speaker or panelist participation
Member of 3 organizations with documented active participation
10 Excellent references

My Timeline.
1/14/2010- I-140/485/765/131 submitted
2/10/2010- Biometrics appointment
2/26/2010- Notice of approval of I-140/485, an hour later notice of green card production

That simple, they skipped the EAD and advance parol documents. Do not let anybody tell you that you are not qualified etc. Just have faith in your application and find yourself a good attorney.
 
Same here. Got my I-140 approved in about 7 weeks. I-485 approved in 8 weeks.

Credentials:
1 first author; 3 second author papers; 1 book chapter
6 citations
Working in NIH funded project
8 recommendation letters from excellent professors in the field.
A good lawyer
PhD from a good university.

So my conclusion is that if you have a good lawyer, who knows what he/she is doing, then you do not need out of the world qualifications to get approved.
 
Hi buzz_nepal,
Can i talk to you about the application process of the forum. I am also from Nepal and have similar credentials. Now getting ready for application.
Will appreciate if you send me your email. Mine is adhikaribn@gmail.com.

Thanks,
 
Hi buddy,

Thanks,
A.M.
 
Hi stpea,

Can you please tell me who your lawyer was? I'm looking to apply for EB-1, extra-ordinary ability for the arts field and want to work with a good lawyer.

Congratulations

Hi guys, it's great to hear the success stories. I am in the final process of submission of my application. I would truly appreciate if one of you can contact me at rendezra@yahoo.com
 
Many of the factors that helped are:
1. PhD
2. From non-retrogressed countries.

I agree that if you have faith in yourself, then you should try EB1-EA.

Congratulations.

service center ?

Hello stpea,

congratulations first of all!

Can you share which service center processed your case (NSC or TSC) ?

My I-140 got approved very quickly and now I'm waiting for the 485-765-131 from NSC.
I'd like to have an idea on what is the current timing for those forms at NSC.

thanks
 
Hi, thanks for carefully replying in this blog. I have question about possibilities for me to apply for EB1A. Here is brief about me:

Got EB2-NIW approved Mar 30th, 2010.

My profile:

Question: I just don't have unbearable patience to wait for my Priority Date to become current for my approved EB2-NIW.

My lawyer is willing to try form EB1A, ofcourse, by charging fees !

Am I eligible to apply for EB1A? (I don't think that my present employer with sign on I-140 for EB1-OR)

Your suggestions and response will be greatly appreciated.
