Hello

My NIW application was approved in NSC. However, the RFE was issued to the simultaneous EB-EA petition. Would some experts advise me the advantage of EB-EA over NIW? My lawyer suggested me not to respond the RFE but go ahead with the NIW. What should I do? Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Bajie,
As you are aware, both the EB1-EA and NIW waive the LC requirement and enable you to change jobs during the process as long as your work continues to be in the same or similar area. The main difference is the categories EB1 vs EB2. This becomes important from an Immigrant Visa number availability perspective. Usually, EB1 has little or no backlog whereas EB2 backlogs can have a substantial backlog at times. Of course, this also depends on the country to which your visa will be charged.

Good Luck!!
