Hi all,

I applied for Eb1 and NIW both in September and received this email today for my Eb1 case:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The last processing action taken on your case

In the description for "Request for Evidence" section, they explain there are two types of requests: Request for Initial Evidence and Request for Additional Evidence. Does anyone know what type of documents they usually ask in the initial evidence category?

Thanks.
 
Hi Guys,

Thanks a lot
