NIW: Any Rejection after RFE?

As a matter of curiosity, I wonder whether anybody knows about an NIW case that was rejected after RFE. I got the impression from this forum that almost everybody who gets the RFE ultimately gets approved after he/she fulfills the demands of an RFE. While it might be an over-optimistic assumption, let me know if I am wrong.

Thank you.

Yes you are wrong

A lot of EB1-EA and EB2-NIW cases got denied after RFE. The after-RFE denials outnumber those direct denials. Most denied cases were not posted, I guess.

There have been very few reported success for students in the recent years. Currently EA/NIW approval is relatively easy at TSC and tough at VSC.

A frequent author of "science" and "Nature", my fellow graduate student at the school across the river from Boston backbay, was one of those unluckies.

Good luck with whatever you do.
 
You are right

I knew some friends around me, about 5 file NIW and were required more evidences, None of them was denied even in early 1999. I guess the INS will deny you directly if they think you are not qualified. But it is possible some of us may suffer pain even you submitt RFE, I guess the rate may be ....20% (it is just my guessing!). Anyway I like to discuss it with you guys since we are all in same boat. Let me know anything you want talk.

Thanks, mzgkom, for your "inspiring" data!

In fact I extensively searched the web and I also know two guys who received RFE for their NIW petition - but both were approved. So my feeling was (until lesspain replied to my posting with some real information from the experiences of his/her friends)that "mostly" the RFEs result in approvals (of course, if properly documented and replied).

I would really appreciate realistic feedback from those who went through (successfully or otherwise) the agonies of NIW.

Thanks.

No Title

Paresh,

I am still in the exhaustive process of self-petitioned (no lawyer, no employer-sponsored) NIW at VSC.

agree with you

You are right. I completely agree with you. Most of times, INS denys your applications when it asks you for more evidences especially a lot-INS thinks you are not qualified but gives you a chance. VSC is tough on this.
