EB1A approval
My timeline dated back to 2021 when I submitted my EB2-NIW ROW. It was denied and subsequently submitted another essentially the same EB2-NIW, which was approved. However, the priority date at the time would not become current before hitting the 6 year limit of my H1B (I am a researcher in science and technology). Other visas were not an option for me. I took a financial gamble by porting to EB1 and here I am.
These last 5 years Lawfully and members kept me updated and my hopes high. I wish everyone the best of luck!

Congratulations! Did you mean you submitted the same information from the EB2-NIW case for a new EB-1A application?

@rk kr no api update. it was transferred to the FO closest to where I live. @@Sadie blessed Australia. @M H PhD in physics. Research in nuclear fusion and cancer. 20 publications. 300 citations. 20 peer reviews. A couple of federal grants as PI. @Joseph Climber Yes. The main difference was I had more citations and I got a couple more independent reference letters.
