EB2NIW APPROVED!
Hi community.
I wanted to share that my case got approved after waiting 513 challenging days.
I applied for PP on Jan 27 25 and in a month and a half later I got the approval with no RFE.
A bit about me and my process.
I am from the IT area for 22 years.
I am Project Manager for the past 17 years.
I was born in Brazil and lived there for 30 years.
I worked with all the big 4 banks in Brazil and one of the big 4 insurance companies too.
Migrated to Australia in 2016.
Got my Permanent Residency (Australian GC) in 2019 and my Australian Citizenship in 2021.
I worked for big companies in Australia too and today I work for a big telco here as IT Portfolio Manager.
Although I have a tertiary degree, it was equivalent to an associate degree in the US and I decided to go with Exceptional Ability.
I have many and important international certifications in my field.
I collected 5 recommendation letters and an exceptional ability letter too.
I produced my own Professional Plan with 4 options for my career once I arrive in the US.
My process had around 500 pages.
It was hard to wait and have patience.
I paid for my PP and I don't regret it.
I wanted to have this first part out of my way with a positive outcome as soon as I could.
Now, I am not in a hurry.
Good luck!
Thanks for your support!
