Good luck to all those who are waiting for the outcome

Hey! finally! Congratulations!!! In my opinion, after reviewing what you just posted, you could easily qualify for an EB1A case; your past merit and citations are exceptionally strong! Well! Congratulations and I’m glad you finally made it! lots of October’s, getting approved now!

what’s your block? mine is IOE092313

many thanks Kar, block is IOE09229

Congratulations. I agree with @Kar NIW i140-Nov 2023’. Your profile is strong for EB1 category. You can still give it a shot with premium processing. What is your country of origin

@Mukhtar @Kar NIW i140-Nov 2023’ what country are you guys from? Cos I really don't get how you guys will have such profile and stay on EB2. The wait after EB2 approval is even longer than the wait for approval. Congratulations once again.

congratulations, why do you choose EB2? Your profile is qualified for EB1

@Amna Sahar congratulations, happy for you :)

@Kar NIW i140-Nov 2023’ @Mukhtar M @ade O @Living Hope Many thanks for your comments, I did self petition and was not very confident at that time so I choose EB2. wishing you all good luck

@Amna Sahar, you seem much more confident now. While I was waiting for the Final Action Date (FAD) and Filing Date (FD) to align, I started considering the EB1A category. My FD is now current, but the FAD is still significantly behind. However, since we’ve already moved beyond the filing stage, we decided to set the idea aside. Interestingly, I discovered this year that some individuals who received EB2 approvals started pursuing EB1A. The decision seems to depend heavily on their immigration circumstances, such as whether they’re living within or outside the U.S., their current visa status, and other factors. The waiting period after an I-140 approval for EB2 can often feel more frustrating than the period before the approval.

@Kar NIW i140-Nov 2023’ Hopefully approvals will extend to November fillers and we will receive ours . My block is IOE092311.

@Brizanzigbe Mira hopefully 🤞🏻, but as I always said., They never do what we all expect them to do and they always do the unexpected… haha., But let’s see if finally we get a positive outcome for each of our processes!

@ade O well… As I mentioned in my previous message, those are my reasons, and no lawyer has wanted to take my case for EB1a. I’m not an expert on self-petitions and didn’t want to risk it, especially since I used every cent I had to prepare as best as I could the NIW. Additionally, I want to clarify that the perspective on these cases is different. For EB1A, you must prove why you stand out among other professionals in your field ( So a Doctorate a PhD or a Master’s is not just relevant here, This is a MUST!) and demonstrate substantial merit with supporting evidence. The EB1A category focuses on your past accomplishments and why you should be granted this classification. Therefore, regardless of how much evidence we gather, the key is how this evidence can be effectively used for each case, is not that easy as changing from NIW to EB1a, is totally different.

Congratulation finally you are at half way to GC. I also felt EB1 could be your easy punch. Any i appreciate your decision and wishes you all the bests

big congratulations. file EB1 as soon as possible

congratulations!!!
