Questions on Parts 5 and 6 of I-140 for EB1-A

[EB1A-Texas]

Any suggestion will be appreciated, especially from those who have successfully experienced I-140 for EB1-A.

First I have to point out that I am self-petition. So In part 5, item 1, I check "self."

Questions:

(1) Part 5, item 3, "If an individual, give the following, Occupation.... Annual Incomes...." My attorney said to put "N/A" for both. Is that correct?

(2) Part 6, my attorney said to put "N/A" for every item. Is that correct?

I am not comfortable with what my attorney told me. So please give me your advice.

I am waiting for your kind reply. Please help me as soon as possible.

Thanks.

On Part 5, you should state your present occupation and annual income. On part 6, you have to state where you intend to work as a self-petitioner--- the field and the state. If you do not indicate a state under Texas jurisdiction, it will be returned. Although as a self-petitioner, you do not need to have an employer at the time of filing, it advisable that you attach a work plan and how this will prospectively benefit the USA.

I had a similar experience. BCIS Texas originally returned the form, which implied that it was never accepted for processing. I contacted another lawyer, who advised on how to proceed. In the process, I lost about 6 months. Also, I know another self-petitioner who did not attach a work plan. He got a RFE on how he will prospectively benefit the USA.
