NIW Denied

[trojanblue]

the dicision they made is irrational. I think you should definely appeal. Certainly, filing another i140 under the same (eb2) or different category (eb1) is critial for you at this moment. Even though it is involving another big input of time, energy and money.

Good luck and stay cool!

I feel so sorry for stateNIW for the denial. However, I do wish to point out that her case is not unique. Indeed, on this group and elsewhere, I have found that NIW and EB1 cases do get denied if the SC thinks that the recommendation letters are so strong that the supporting evidence does not substantiate the strength. This is one area I have pointed out before and I have even told my friends about it. And that is, while the recommendations must be strong, make sure you have ALL the evidence that you think might be required to substantiate virtually every line in the letter.

In my case, I had a few REASONABLY strong recos and some SOLID recos. Everything they said about my work and their personal opinions about me were completely consistent with EVERY PIECE OF EVIDENCE that I had to show. Nothing more, nothing less. And no letter ever made me out to be indispensable, or ultra-important or a genius. Bear in mind, you dont have to be at the very top of your profession for NIW. You merely have to show that your past accomplishments are substantially higher than an average researcher with your qualifications and level of experience.

Very best of luck to StateNIW. I hope her future course of action, whether appeal or a new I-140 petition is successful.
