Filing for EB2-NIW from outside the US
I have a few questions and would appreciate some clarifications:
1. Filing Fees:
Am I correct that I need to pay the following fees:
Form I-140 filing fee: $715
Asylum Program Fee: $600
DS-260 fee: $325
Premium Processing fee: $2,805
2. Mailing Address:
I intend to send my petition package to the USCIS P.O. Box 21500, Phoenix, AZ for Premium Processing of my I-140. Is this the correct address?
3. Additional Guidance:
Do you have any advice or experiences you can share that may help me as I prepare and file my EB-2 NIW petition?
Stuck in 2021 Filers, Any Recent Updates For You Fam?
It’s been over 4 years of waiting. I applied back in August 2021 and still haven’t had any updates. The only thing I’ve gotten were the 7 prima facies, and my 485 was just transferred to another office in May 2025. At this point I’m really down, not in any holiday spirit at all. I’m just depressed and don’t know what’s going to happen with my life. Has anyone from the 2021 filings received any recent updates, approvals, or denials? Thank you.
