Faith over fear
I am also waiting, I know how we are tired, scared and frustrated. Not sure what's going to happen next and, especially, when is going to happen.
But I wanted to share that while we all wait, let's keep our faith and remember Jeremiah 32:27 states: "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?"
Christ is who strengthens me, I am so happy for everyone that has been approved so far in this community and I pray more of us will be blessed with the approval notice soon!
Please feel free to use this comment section with words of encouragement for all of us that are waiting, remember when our Lord used the metaphor of the mustard seed to show that real trust in God, no matter how small it feels, carries the power to move mountains.

Hi everyone :)
My vawa has been pending since April 2022 I got nothing besides PF! In April’26 I reached out to my congressman and they Submit an inquiry to USCIS on my behalf. I have yet not heard from them. It’s been three months. They also don’t reply to my E-Mails. Has anyone Experienced 3 months + waiting to hear from their local comgresman?!
Refund Notice
Hi folks, I just got an update that USCIS has mailed a refund for my case, but the case is still pending. My application is EB1A premium processing, I applied last year in October, got an RFE and responded to the RFE back in January 2026.
Who knows what that means in regards to the possible outcome of my case?

Airline Captain Seeking EB-2 NIW Refiling Advice
I am a South African airline captain, instructor and examiner with more than 17,000 flight hours, including extensive Boeing 737 command and training experience. I previously filed an EB-2 NIW petition based on my aviation safety, training and operational expertise, but the case was denied after an RFE. I am now reviewing the decision and considering a stronger refiling. I joined this community to learn from successful NIW applicants, especially aviation professionals and applicants who qualified through exceptional ability without a university degree. I would also appreciate recommendations for immigration lawyers with proven experience handling pilot or aviation-related NIW cases.
