Ablay Sarmantay Nov 11, 2024
I applied with my family and wanted to get approved first. Concurrent filing would have meant additional 5000$ for three of us. PD is July 22

Definitely spectacular this is. congrats. I hope some great awards or recognitions you had contributed to this. If not I would be grateful if you could say more about discipline, publication and education... if you think fine to share. thanks

@Yes EB Hi,
Here are a few tips and insights I learned:
1. Do not make your supporting evidence too lengthy; 150-250 pages are enough to prove you meet the criteria.
2. Write in the third person, as if crafting a short biography.
3. Prepare all birth certificates and medical exam results in advance; don’t wait for an RFE (Request for Evidence).
