I had no idea where to start with NIW so I worked with Chen Immigration Law. They were patient, cooperative, and we went through multiple rounds of edits until the petition was just right. Re-read your petition and ask yourself, "Does this truly tell my story and explain why the waiver makes sense?" A well-crafted petition makes all the difference.
Happy to answer any questions. Wishing everyone a speedy approval!
